You could try using ecover washing up liquid, it works well in washing
machines and is not irritant like traditional detergents or soap.

Its one noticeable limitation is it has no antifoaming additive, so
dont put too much in or it may get carried away 2 tablespoons is
somewhere about right for a full load.

It hasnt got all the usual additives in, but still does a decent job.
For grimey stuff just add a spoonful of trad powder as well.

Oh, and dont try using cheap washing liquids.



Um - why not use Ecover non-bio laundry liquid? I would assume it is no
more irritant than Fairy or wahing up liquid? The Ecover biological
tablets are a bit vicious mind (if you are susceptible to Bio products)



The only reason I didnt suggest it was just that I dont know whats in
it or how effective it is, and it is less available than ecover
washing liquid.

FWIW it wont be similar to Fairy etc.
