Eucalan No Rinse Delicate Wash vs Ecover Delicate Laundry Liquid

Eucalan is nontoxic and free from harsh chemicals such as phosphate. Therefore, not only is it gentle on your clothing but also on your skin, which is good news for those who may suffer from skin sensitivity. Also, the detergent's container is biodegradable and completely recyclable.

You simply need to add some Euculan to water, in which you then allow your garment(s) to soak for a few minutes. And once adequately soaked, the garment should be lain out flat to dry, with no rinsing required. In this sense, use of Eucalan means less handling of your garments and thus less likelihood of wear and tear. This is particularly favorable in the case of knit garments which don't respond well to extensive handling.

Eucalan is enriched with lanolin, a greasy substance naturally found on sheep wool that acts as a form of waterproof. Detergents that contain lanolin help to soften the fibers of woolen fabrics and reduce static-ness, while at the same time strengthening them against everyday wear and tear.

Eucalan is available in 5 ml packets that cost $0.85 each and can be used for single-garment washes. The product can therefore be easily transported, even in carry-on luggage for short trips.

Eucalan is available in five different scents: jasmine, lavender, grapefruit, eucalyptus, and unscented. So whether you prefer your garments to be scented or not, this product can meet your needs.

Ecover is particularly suited to washing delicate garments such as silks, woolens, and even ladies tights. It works equally effectively be it used in a handwash or machine wash, helping to maintain the softness of your fabrics as well as protecting their color.

A 750 ml bottle costs approximately $4.58 and can output up to 16 washes. That means that for each wash you pay less that $0.30.

Ecover's non-petrochemical, plant and mineral-based ingredients have been dermatologically-tested for sensitive skin, even that of a baby.

Most of Ecover's ingredients are plant-based and thus biodegradable. In fact, the product is suitable for septic tanks and its packaging is 100% recyclable, meaning it far exceeds legislative requirements in terms of biodegradability. It also results in a minimum impact on aquatic life and is against animal testing.

Ecover is available in both a subtle, clean lavender fragrance and a new sweet waterlily and honeydew fragrance. So depending on how you like your clothes to smell after washing, this product offers at once delicate and stronger fragrances.
