ecostore Ultra Concentrate Laundry Liquid
(www.ecostore.co.nz)

If you are sick of powder residue on your clothes, itchy skin and overpowering fragrances in your laundry products, then it's worth trying this little gem from ecostore. This eco brand is actually cheaper, than the leading petrochemical filled products, safer for the environment, your clothes and your health, so we think it is an all round winner. Oh and did I mention; it works!

Benefits for the individual:

ecostore Ultra Concentrate Laundry Liquid is made from safer natural, plant and mineral based ingredients, making it gentle on your skin and our environment without compromising on performance. In fact, many people have had relief from eczema, skin irritations and even asthma simply by switching to ecostore’s laundry products.

Environmental benefits:

ecostore’s Ultra Concentrate Laundry Liquid does not contain toxic petrochemicals, dyes or perfumes that can get into waterways and harm marine life. In fact it doesn’t contain many of the ingredients found in most everyday laundry products including phosphates, nitrates, chlorine, optical brighteners, enzymes, EDTA or TEA.

Unlike conventional laundry products that contain bulkers and fillers, ecostore Ultra Concentrate Laundry Liquid contains only pure active ingredients, which means it’s safely ultra-concentrated and the cost per use is less than conventional liquid detergents. This also means less packaging and transport costs so it has less impact on the environment all round.

Cheap and readily available:

ecostore Ultra Concentrate Laundry Liquid is available from Woolworths, Safeway and selected green and health food stores. RRP $5.99 for 500ml

The history behind this product:

When Malcolm Rands, founder of ecostore first developed ecostore’s laundry liquid, he made it safe enough so that he could use his dirty laundry water on his own organic veggie garden! This makes it ideal for use in your grey water systems and septic tanks, an important consideration when we should be conserving water.

Planet Ark Stores
Helping you to create a
healthy, harmonious &
environmentally sound home


SAVING THE PLANET
BEGINS IN OUR HOMES….

Most of us spend over half our lives in the home.

We may have little influence over what happens at work or school, but at home we can really exercise control over the quality of our personal environment.

The choices we make today in our homes can affect our own health and the health of

the planet.

Planet Ark Stores make these choices easy and affordable. We do this by providing

the products and information necessary to make your home safer for you and the

environment.

SAVE ENERGY & WATER

With our energy and water efficient showerheads, a family of four can save 170,000

litres of water per annum.

With much less water to heat, you can save up to $300 a year in power and water bills

– saving the environment and your wallet at the same time!

We offer light globes that can last up to 10 years using 80% less electricity than

normal light bulbs.

SAFER RENOVATING

Next time you renovate, think about the wellbeing of your family and our environment


We stock plant-based paints and varnishes, floor finishes and other materials made

from naturally renewable resources

If you suffer health problems from living and working in ‘sick buildings’, you really

must use these materials.

PURE WATER

Pure water is an essential element. Look after your family’s health by

purifying your drinking and showering water with our high grade filters

and purifiers.

to home renovation.

SAFER CLEANING

You should always use products made without phosphates,

petrochemicals, fragrances & dyes.

The Planet Ark range of cleaning products are available in single packs or

in bulk. At our refill bar, if you bring in your own container [or take one

from our recycling bin], you get a minimum 10% discount!

It’s a great way to save money and resources.

We stock an extensive range of fibre technology cleaning cloths, mitts,

window cleaning tools and mops. They use special fibres and water to

clean without toxic chemicals.

We also have chemical-free high pressure steam cleaners which clean and

disinfect any surface and kill dust mites. These are essential for those

suffering from asthma and allergies.

HOW PLANET ARK
CHOOSES PRODUCTS

We look at the totality of the product: where and how the ingredients

were derived, through to their processing, packaging and ultimate

disposal. We also concentrate on the products impact on human health.


With an estimated 1 in 6 people now having some form of allergy or

environmental illness such as asthma, protecting personal health is a key

part of our philosophy.
