Product Information
Full details
The Ecover Zero Non-Bio Sensitive Washing Powder is designed for individuals with sensitive skin or those seeking a fragrance-free laundry solution. Its key benefit is delivering a powerful clean using plant-based ingredients, effectively tackling stains even at low temperatures. A potential consideration is that it is a non-bio powder, which may be less effective on certain tough stains compared to biological detergents for some users. This fragrance-free formula is suitable for both whites and colours and works from 30°C upwards.

FAQs
Is this product suitable for baby clothes?
Yes, the fragrance-free and non-bio formula is gentle and ideal for washing baby clothes, reducing the risk of skin irritation.
Can I use this for wool or silk garments?
This powder is generally not recommended for delicate fabrics like wool or silk. Always check the garment's care label and use a specialized detergent for these materials.
What does 'non-bio' mean?
Non-bio detergents do not contain biological enzymes, which can sometimes cause skin irritation. They are typically gentler on fabrics and sensitive skin.
How much powder should I use?
Refer to the dosage instructions on the product packaging. The amount needed varies depending on the load size, the level of dirt, and local water hardness.
Does it work in cold water?
Yes, the powder is effective from 30°C and above, making it suitable for cold washes to help save energy.
Where should I store the washing powder?
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, with the container tightly sealed.
Troubleshooting
Washing powder not dissolving completely
Ensure you are using a sufficient amount of water during the wash cycle. If using a front-loader, avoid overloading the machine. Check that the water temperature is at least 30°C.
Stubborn stains remain after washing
For tough stains, consider pre-treating the affected area before washing or using a higher wash temperature if the fabric allows. A longer soak might also help.
Skin irritation persists
Although designed for sensitive skin, individual sensitivities can vary. Ensure no residue is left in the drawer and that the machine rinses thoroughly. Consider trying a different type of detergent if irritation continues.
