Getting odours out (new version of this product)
Pros
No scoop, good stain removal.
Cons
I seem to need to use more than I did with older versions of ecostore products. When I go to hang out the washing it still smells faintly of body odours. This seems to disappear with a day in the sunshine, but am wondering what will happen in winter. Older versions of eco store products didn’t seem to have these issues. Can Consumer please factor odour removal into their testing.
Recommend it?
Maybe, it depends on what you're after.
