EcoEgg Concentrated Fabric Conditioner

Hey guys and girls I am back with another review yay this time one that involves you doing your chores boo as much as most of us may find housework boring or even enjoy it but find it tiring the best part of doing the chores/housework us using products that we love.

May it be the smell or how well it works there is always a favorite product we love using.

So I am going to write a review on eco egg fabric conditioner read more to find out if I liked it or not and if it is something I would recommend to you all.

About EcoEgg

Ecoegg are a company that care about the environment and people, they have a lovely range of products that are kind to you and the environment. Their great value for money products are sold on their website, and sometimes on qvc and a few other places. EcoEgg have won awards for their products and well deserved awards at that. Ecoegg are eco by name and eco by nature they are truly a company that set a good example by using ingredients that are not harsh and are always bringing out new amazing products.

EcoEggs Fabric Conditioner

Ecoegg concentrated fabric conditioner is concentrated meaning you only need 1-2 squirts per wash although for me I always like using the normal amount but that is because of my ocd and wanting my washing to feel and smell clean.

if you choose a fragrance one it is only slightly fragranced this is due to it been gentle on the skin and not being harsh like some other ones.  Although I do prefer my washing smelling strong of nice smells, I found this one didn't really make my washing smell like my other fabric conditioners do to my washing which I am used to.

The bottle is big meaning great value for money because it can last upto a year.

But it may run out quicker if you do washing more than the average person or if you have a big family or just love using more than required. Also comes with a pump meaning it is easy to dispense into your washing machine draw without worrying about spillage and waste

Overall verdict

I do love this product but For me even though the fabric conditioner is a great size and lasts upto a year, and is not harsh on the skin like other brands, it is not really one I would buy myself mainly because I am used to strong scents. But I would recommend it to others mainly those who want a fabric conditioner kind to skin and the environment.

I really love the pump action as mentioned above it is great way for less spillage and waste as you can easy pump couple squirts into wash or get your kids to help you as long as you supervise them as some may over pump it or try eat it.

It did make my clothes feel a tad softer but didn't notice a big major difference to the clothes they felt lovely and soft how clothes normally come out but this all depends I guess on washing powder too.  

The product is great for value with it lasting upto a year but you may go through it quicker if you wash clothes all day everyday like most of us do who have endless amounts of washing to do all the time.

So basicly overall I do love ecoegg brand itself and I have tried a few of their products now for me this is a great product however it wasn't one of the best ones I have tried from eco egg  so isn't one I will rave about other than for the great value for money and kind to skin. So overall it is not a bag product or anything like that just a personal preference that I like stronger scents.

Eco Egg Fresher For Longer Discs

Eco Egg Fresher For Longer Discs

Hey Guys and Girls I am back sorry for delay been having my kitchen refitted so been stressed may has been stressful for me i needed up starting smoking again, sad times, but will be giving up again when I can, also I am on iron tablets and vitamin d tablets.

Anyway today I am reviewing a product sent to me by eco egg.

Fresher For Longer Discs

Ecoegg have sent me fresher for longer discs which go inside the fridge to keep your food fresher for longer, also they can go in the fruit bowl to keep your fruit fresher for longer. So far I have noticed a difference regards to my fruit and vegetables in fridge they do seem to be lasting a lot longer than usual which is a bonus for me, Because I hate waste and I hate the horrid smells food produce when they are going out of date.

About The Product

(Info taken from eco egg website)

Waste less, eat more healthily and save money

Each disc lasts for 3 months

Great results: independently proven

No harsh chemicals

Our Fresher For Longer Discs are proven to prolong the life of your fruit and vegetables.

The industry secret is now available at home The same technology that cruise ships use to keep their produce fresh whilst at sea for weeks on end is now available in your own home.  Ever wondered how supermarkets keep fruit and veg fresh for so long? It’s this technology they use in their vast fruit warehouses.

Breaking the vicious circle It’s ethylene gas that’s the enemy. As fruit and veg start to go off they give off ethylene gas.  The problem is that ethylene gas also causes fruit and veg to go off – so you get a vicious circle. That’s why, when fruit and veg start to go off, they go off very quickly! The discs break the cycle by absorbing the ethylene gas, slowing down the decay process and keeping your food fresher for longer.

Lasts 3 months They are so easy to use – just pop one in the fridge, fruit bowl, lunch box or cool box – then forget about it.  It’ll then keep working hard – for the next 3 months – absorbing the ethylene gas and keeping your fruit and vegetables fresher for longer. They’ll extend the life of your fruit and vegetables so you’ll get a chance to eat them before they go bad. If you are trying to eat more healthily, or just want to save money, these are perfect for you. This is a great value kit which contains 4 discs.  And with each lasting for 3 months, that’s a year’s supply!

DID YOU KNOW?

Eco egg recently won a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation 2016.

The Queen’s Awards are made annually by Her Majesty The Queen on the advice of the Prime Minister, who is assisted by an Advisory Committee that includes representatives of Government, industry and commerce. Eco egg are thrilled to have been recognised by Her Majesty The Queen as one of the most innovative businesses in the United Kingdom.

Overall Verdict

I am super impressed with these one of the best inventions ever. Not only my food last longer in the fridge, the product is nice and nifty and not big and bulky so doesn't make the fridge look cluttered or take up room. I love the fact it clips to door or in the fruit bowl to keep the food fresher for longer. Which means no more food waste and nasty smelly out of date food. The only downside if i wanted to be critical would be the price as it seems a lot for a small product, but when you think of out much money you will save by not having to throw out food the price seems a little more reasonable.

Before You Go !!

Eco egg have an amazing deal on these fresher for longer disc over on qvc.

These are both products

First of all both products are pretty much the same apart from ones allergen and fragrance free, and the other is non bio lightly fragranced. For me I had pretty much the same results clean great selling clothes although I did use my lovely comfort washing conditioner with my washing because I had the same results I am not going to go into too much detail but instead break up in bullet points the product details, then of course my overall verdict.

• Ideal for eczema and sensitive skin sufferers and baby
• Globally patented technology
• Unit dosed in a dissolvable sachet
• Made in the United Kingdom

Overall Verdict

After using both products I am very impressed with how well my washing came out.

The washing smelt clean, and was clean too although if you have heavy soiled stains ie mud etc you may want to use a stain remover with the tabs to ensure you get the stains out properly.

I was impressed how i only needed 1- tablets per wash as currently I was using a whole draw full of powder as well as a few squirts of laundry gel to get my washing clean.

The fact I only needed 1-2 tablets made me shocked to how well it cleaned my clothes.

Im also really impressed with how well they dissolve.

My favorite out of the 2 products was the allergen free purely because they are ideal if you have any skin allergies like eczema etc.

The only downside for the product for me is the price as I am not used to paying out a lot of money for my washing things as i normally get discounts and deals on bulk buys.

Though these tabs would be great for when you travel to stay with friends and family if you want to wash your clothes in allergen free or didn't want to use your family's washing powder if you felt it would leave them short.

I defo recommend buying the tablets though purely because allergen free and because they easy to store and transport if need be.

Overall verdict 8 out of 10 because of the price.

MY REVIEW

Thoughts about the product before it arrived.

well being ocd and loving bleaching door handles, floors and cleaning the worktops over 30 times a day I do love to clean and it is my escape from depression and over thinking.

anyway my first thoughts about the product was omg its not gonna be as good as my products I own ie beach and touch grease cleaners, I guess i was a bit skeptic cos it is a natural cleaner I get paranoid about germs at the best of times.

First impressions when it arrived.

just like chloe's expression here i was still abit skeptical.

Wow this looks great, great size product and feels heavy for a product of its size.

I was still a bit skeptic about how this product could clean as well as other products I own.

I opened it had a whiff not to bad smell smells a bit citrusy and another smell I can't place my finger on so not a bad smell at all nothing too strong like what I own, so again still a bit worried to how this was gonna clean anything as well as bleach.

First impression on first time using it.

just like chloe's expression here i was overjoyed.

Wow I wish i had of got a photo I had this weird sticker residue stuck to my window

which bleach washing up liquid etc couldn't get rid of so we left it there on the window.

So anyway we placed a little bit of the eco egg hard surface cleaner on the dampened sponge and wiped over in a circular motion and off came the sticker residue I couldn't believe my eyes at all hubby was in shock and was like how? wow this is good stuff.

Overall Verdict

photo courtesy of think milk design

Well From the first time using it it had me and hubby in disbelief to how it could get rid of stubborn sticker residue on the window when more powerful cleaners couldn't.

I love the scent of the product which is not lethal like 95% of the products on the market.

I Also love the fact that you only need a small amount which gets rid of stubborn dirt,

meaning the product lasts longer than most products we all own meaning it is not only good for your health with being a natural cleaner it is good for your pocket too saving you money not only because it lasts ages but because it works too.

I am not sure what else to say other then I am still in shock to how it works,

really well compared to strong more expressive products I own.

the eco egg hard surface cleaner is £9.99 to buy from eco egg.

( hard surface cleaner was once on qvc and sold out on the first couple of airings)

Before you go ahead and buy don't tell anyone I told you.

There will be a offer on on the 5th of december,  stay tuned on eco egg site to find out more about the huge deal on all the products on their site they have coming up.

I wouldn't want you to miss out on it.
