Ecover Avis 104

I could tell you everything about this product, company JC Johnson.
This was market on November.
When manufactures change the botlle (twice in this case for the zero) they must submit a lab test to the reg authorities. Oddly, the recall after Brexit and US elections.
More as I purchased two bottles the peg plastic should have the product code *so fundamental to end-to-end process including recall, placed at the neck of the bottle; it dissolves with the touch and very content!
Last, once you do contact this firm you will be speaking with CS in Portugal and a medical doctor in the U.S.
Here is where it all ends for them.
The offee to come to collect the hazardous bottle is essentially just to prevent a contamination claim by other companies or authorities ending in big legal suits and fine.
As to the individual care ZERO, JUST LIKE THE PRODUCT.
The recall is not across all retailers but a huge colossal mess.
Those bottles are still around many stores now.
Nothing is compliant and I will endeavour in my pursuit for compliance with the regulatory bodies.
I buy this products because I have skin conditions but the sudden flair which I am not over with and has permanent changes left me with burning, itching, scratching and sleepless for nights on. As soon as I out my face on the pillow.
That morning could not even open my eyes.
Now these news and no help from the manufacturing are leaving me and the doctors in a puzzle of why my skin suddely aggravated and I am the one having to take more drugs.
I ended up using the bottle for house laundry rarher than personal and my friend with special need...incontinence.
No bottle no claim?. But these people are only alerting for damage control.
Again, zero compliance and much to explain.
Be aware that the doctor will say toxic product will be ok after the laundry cycle?!.

Just check the current recall!
Highly hazardous chemicals at dangerous levels in zero laundry liquid.
To arrange a refund / collection you need to submit the batch code online. My bottle doesn’t have a batch code, I have been on hold for 36 minutes (and counting) to find out how to return the product.

Ich liebe die Waschmittel! Der Duft von Lavendel..herrlich und langanhaltend..außerdem ist es vollständig biologisch abbaubar- also ein super Beitrag für die Umwelt!
Leider listen Rossmann und dm in kleineren Filialen nicht immer diese tollen Produkte- aber es lohnt sich danach Ausschau zu halten!

I’m new to Ecover and love the smell on my freshly washed laundry but I agree with the previous comments about the bottle shape. I’ve already had a major spillage and wastage as it’s impossible to hold and tip out the necessary amount. Come on Ecover sort it out or I’ll be going back to my old brand.

Laundry products. Liquid works well, but the bottle design is abysmal! They leak, drip, and can't be gripped properly (product on the outside and too flimsy).
Please READ and ACT Ecover, this spils an otherwise good product.

Progress not perfection. Ecover have recently changed their laundry liquids to a new transparent bottle. I had to find out why this was so after doing some research on their website it appears this new bottle is made from 100% recycled PCR & by taking out the spout it's reducing plastic use. Great work Ecover & I hope other brands follow suit to reduce unnecessary plastic in their product packaging. I've since used the laundry liquid at home and have found it easy to pour from & it still excels at stain removal.

The new bottle design for laundry liquid is atrocious and not fit for purpose. The absence of a handle (the old design had one) makes the bottle difficult to hold when trying to pour a small amount - those “finger shaped” indentations are worse than useless. Secondly, removing the top from the old bottle design revealed a spout with an inner rim which caught any spilt drops and dribbles; the new design has no such features, meaning that after pouring, dribbles of liquid run down the outside of the bottle, necessitating keeping a cloth to hand to avoid mess. Form should follow function, and this wretched new design has poor functionality, as analysed above. Clearly this design was guided purely by visual appeal, with functionality completely neglected. Am now considering switching to another brand.

Every time when I was doing the washing, every time I hate the new bottle design! Purchased many times but this is the second bottle for the new bottle design. I am thinking to switch to other brand! It is so irritating that I can't hold the bottle with one hand when pouring the liquid! And each time after poured, I need to quickly use my finger to wipe the detergent off to stop it running to the outside of the bottle! Then quickly turn the cap close and wash my hand! This means I need a surface to let the bottle to sit on to wipe the leakage, and I have to clean the surface afterward. So troublesome just to pour a washing detergent!

reading the ingredients list I was shocked to learn that the Anionic Surfactants are carcinogenic I have taken my expensive bottle - used twice - to the recycling station for hazardous liquids

Worst bottle design I’ve ever used. The actual washing up liquid is good but due to the slippery-impossible-to-hold bottle I regularly use too much or drop it. Please, please, please reconsider this, it’s very clearly a problem and it’s a massive bottle neck in getting people to be more eco friendly. No pun intended.

As others have said, bottle design is awful. Might be recycled but it’s a bar soap trying to hold it and impossible in one hand. Plus refills cost more than the original and when I emailed them and asked why they just said that reflects the market and tough. Amazing!

I have used Ecover (and Method) products for years and have recently learned that they are both owned by SC Johnson, who openly admit to testing their products on animals.
So by purchasing Ecover products, we are basically funding the parent company to continue testing on animals.
Until SC Johnson go cruelty free, I won't be buying any more of their products and I hope others follow suit. In this day and age, there's no need for animal testing.

This is a review of the quality of the design of the Ecover washing up liquid bottle - particularly the 950ml one. There's no way of holding the bottle with one hand- it's heavy and very slippery, especially when hands are wet - which they would be when washing up, and the thin plastic has no substance or hand-holds so it's impossible to hold the bottle with one hand and tip it to get a small amount out. I've complained about this before and been very disappointed with Ecover's only response which is to say that the new bottle is better for the planet. They may be right, but it's certainly not better for us users. I can only assume that whoever designed it never does the washing up. Come on Ecover, you make good eco products, now follow this up with good package design.

I’ve used Ecover products for years but the new bottle design is truly awful especially your large bottles for clothes washing. Just as other people have said the absence of a handle makes it impossible to pour accurately or with any control over the flow as the bottle flexes when you lift it. The lid no longer has the overflow so the liquid spills over your surfaces & is wasted. Once I’ve used up my current supply I shall by buying another brand with a handle at the very least. Ecover, you need to rethink your bottle design.

I've been using Ecover laundry liquid for years but it now comes in a bottle that I can hardly hold, let alone pour - it's the worst-designed product I think I have ever seen, truly ergonomically illiterate. It's difficult to hold and even harder to pour. They have removed the handle so you have to clasp the body of bottle, which may be easy to do if you are a man with huge, strong, hands but otherwise it is a real struggle. A triumph of form over function. I emailed Ecover and their reply said they hoped I would get used to the new bottle. Well, as the level of the liquid goes down it becomes *even harder* to hold and pour, so absolutely not. Ecover have now lost a customer of decades. The new washing-up liquid bottle design is not much better - the ridges on the bottle are far above the point where an actual human holds the bottle to pour it and the dispenser is leaky, meaning washing-up liquid dribbles down the outside of the bottle and makes it slippery. So, so, disappointed in Ecover. I'll be switching to another brand for both washing liquid and washing-up liquid.

Super Produkte. Ich liebe das Spülmittel und den Weichspüler und gebe sehr gerne etwas mehr dafür aus. 👍

I love the actual product and Ecover is helping to save the planet but the new bottle is a design disaster.It is hard to hold in one hand as it is so thin and the lid is so flimsy it lets liquid leak out and makes the sides slippery.Consequently my wife and I have both dropped the bottle breaking the lid first time. The old design was perfectly good so this is a redesign that makes the product harder to use.I am certain that the company will have to improve this design and soon as we are not clumsy people and I worked in an art school for years in a design department.

First use of this new bottle, I find it difficult to grasp with one hand, while adding a further drop to the bowl in use! The liquid below rolls about as I grasp the bottle, and try to squeeze just a drop. It is like holding a squirming object, and is nowhere as firm as the old style and shape. Consequently the drop becomes more than I need. and the bottle is more than likely to fall over while handling it back to its place on the ridged back of the deep sink. Not a happy old woman with this makeover.

Wrote to Ecover 14 January 2019, and today I get their reply. All reasons for how much better it is for the planet etc. I am afraid that the disappointment with this product - used for as long as I can recall since it was first marketed - will have to give way to the old Fairy Liquid. The product is not user-friendly at all - and I am sure the liquid is thinner and runny than previously - only the mild scent will be missed, despite Ecover's insistence that changes are all to the good - viz the reduced use of plastic, "by making the bottles transparent people can see how much is left in their bottle and to see our dye free formula inside.
· The cap has been redesigned to be as simple and intuitive as possible, and you can now open it with one hand. We understood that people want to get every drop out of the bottle, therefore we designed the cap so the bottle can be stood upside down, to reduce wasting any washing up liquid.
· We have also reduced the amount of material in the cap, with an estimated saving of 14 tonnes of polypropylene plastic annually from the manufacturing process.
· With the 950ml bottle in particular, we have tried to save as much plastic material as possible, so it is a bit lighter." .

The newly deigned bottle has excess washing up liquid dribbling down the side and sticking in the grooves making it sticky and slippery. I had no problem with the old design.

I love ecover products, however, the new design washing-up liquid bottle is completely unusable; it slips out of any size hand and the groves -I assume that's what should give the user a better grip- are not working.
Please re-design. Thumbs up to the 'better' plastic!
