But no, it was actually cheaper than standard dish detergent ounce per ounce so I bought it, still cynical that it would barely suds-up and be weak and watery. But I was feeling adventurous.
After one load of dishes, I was a Bio-D junky. And here's why:
Bio-D Dish Detergent (Washing-up Liquid)
Super sudsy. No film. Smells good. Cheap. Lasts a really long time. No nasty chemicals. Cool bottle. Looks cool, too.
Vote: Major thumbs up.
So after this happy experience we decided to try their laundry detergent. Now, laundry detergent is a bit of a tricky one in our home as my husband is allergic to them all, apart from one called Fairy, for sensitive skin. But he's the one who actually spotted Bio-D laundry liquid and brought it home to try out.
Bio-D Laundry LiquidNo chemicals or dyes. Same price as mainstream stuff. Smelled a bit earthy at first. After first wash I was hooked. Clothes were incredibly clean and smelled like they had been washed in a mountain stream - no stuffy perfumes. No irritation to my husbands skin.
Vote: We're hooked.
The next Bio-D trial was after a good wander in the new, massive Whole Foods that just opened in London. We went to get more Bio-D dish detergent when a pump bottle of Bio-D wood polish caught my eye. I had been looking for a healthy wood poish option for about 2 years and never found anything. It was a bit more expensive than the Pledges of the world, but was in a massive bottle and no aerosol or nasty chemicals. Of course I had to try it.
Bio-D Household Polish
Really buffs up the wood. Not streaky. Great shine on some of my antique furniture. No build-up so far. No nasty chemical smell after a clean.
Vote: Keep it coming!
If you see it, and are feeling like a change, have a try and let me know your verdict.
