Ecover Cleaning

Using natural cleaning products made by Ecover is a good way for consumers to ensure they use their dishwasher in the greenest way, according to an environmental activist.

Dishwashers are now part of everyday life for millions of households across the UK, but many people do not realize the damage they can cause on the environment.

Writing for The Sunday Times, Tony Juniper said that dishwasher tablets often contain high levels of phosphates, which can lead to death of aquatic life once they are transported in the water system through process wastewater.

Mr Juniper, former director of Friends of the Earth said the government is aware of the damage caused by phosphate and plans to prohibit their use in laundry detergents.

However, he added: "Most liquid detergents sold for washing dishes by hand are phosphate-free, but the cleaners for dishwashers often have a high phosphate content, most detergents contain UK more than 30 percent of phosphate.

People concerned about the situation might choose to replace their dishwasher tablets usually with a natural cleaning product. Mr Juniper said that Ecover is among the brands that produce tablets without phosphate.

Ecover dishwasher tablets are also chlorine-free, designed to have the least impact on fish and other aquatic organisms.
