New street & walkers. By the wandering Scott. I think it was about $19.99 or that might have been the Eco green stuff, that smelt nice too.

We used to use Persil non-bio in the UK, but we use Eco-Vert here.

Re: Washing detergent.
I stand corrected. I remember when the enzyme thing came along; the ads showed these little pacman-like enzymes chomping away on dirt. Actually I remember when becoming biodegradable was a big deal too. I just go to the Sears bargain centre and buy a huge jug of Extra for $5 and use a bit more in the wash.

Re: Washing detergent.
Dare I ask the question, which is the best one for cleaning? Iron minerals in water here in NB makes whites hard to bring out white and cant seem to find a detergent that cleans without adding a stain remover - used to get really white clothes using Bold and lovely camomile and lavendar smells...hmmmm. But then I did have a gorgeous Miele washing machine which was my major sacrifice on moving to Canada - yes they are that good! and my life is solely home based so these things are very important ;-)

Re: Washing detergent.
I don't think bio and non bio means biodegradeable. It means biological. In the UK detergents with enzymes are labelled biological, but I haven't noticed that distinction in Canada, which is unfortunate, since my husband is allergic to the biological powders.

Re: Washing detergent.
Some sort of iron filtration on your water system will do more good, as Novo and I pointed out earlier all these laundry detergents are more or less the same, chemically speaking.
