Whole Foods where I live has em. I use their laundry soap and dishwasher "tablet" things, seems to work very well!

Oh hey, I use their delicate fabric wash (instead of the usual woolite). Woolite always left a strange residue for some reason, no matter how much I rinsed, but Ecover doesn't do that.
I didn't realize they make car cleaning products, though. I might have to try that. My car desperately needs to be clean, both inside and out.

I love the scrub. I first purchased it to try to clean the ick off of my chantal kettle that Bon Ami couldn't remove. It worked perfectly and I am hooked

My favorite brand as well! I've been using all sorts of their products for a few years now and have always been happy. Great quality, and their prices (at least here in France) are actually less expensive than regular supermarket equivalents.

Rachelmoon, the company was founded in Belgium and I'm pretty sure (as I live in France) that the name is based on French (which is spoken in Belgium), and is pronounced "ay-ko-vair", i.e. like the two English words "a cover". "Eco" for "ecological" and "ver" as in the French "vert", which means "green".

Fraise: Interesting interpretation. I've always thought of it like "recover" without the R, as in it is helping your house recover from dirt and the planet recover from toxic chemicals. But I guess the way the logo is split into blue and green probably makes my way make less sense.
