Eco cleaning products: Tried and Tested

Simply laundry detergents

Green credentials: These are the first UK laundry detergents to carry the EU Ecolabel, showing they meet strict manufacture-to-disposal environmental criteria. They were voted Green Product of the Year in the 2008 Good Housekeeping Consumer Awards.

Good Housekeeping Green Living Awards verdict: In our stain removal tests, Simply Sensitive matched the equivalent brand-leading product, with a score of 8/10, while Simply Active earned 7/10 - one point less than the biological brand leader. Both detergents work out at a reasonable 20p per wash.
