Ecoforce & Dishmatic review and competition

By 277 Comments

A couple of weeks ago, we started a massive house clean and when the people from Ecoforce and Dishmatic got in touch and asked, if we wanted to try some of theircleaning products, we jumped at the change.

We received the following products:

  • A Dishmatic device plus 3 refills
  • EcoForce Recycled Super Absorbent Quilted Multi-purpose cloths (2 pack)
  • EcoForce Recycled Non Scratch Kitchen Scourer Pads (3 pack)
  • EcoForce Recycled Super Absorbent Sponge Scourers (2 Pack)
  • EcoForce Recycled Peg Basket & Pegs (24 pegs)
  • EcoForce Recycled Super Soft Dusters (10 pack)
  • EcoForce Recycled Clothes Line
  • EcoForce Recycled Bag Grips

EcoForce manufactures and supplies eco products that made from recycled materials, which means that they are greener, more sustainable and more environmentally friendly than alternatives on the market.  I hadn’t heard of EcoForce before, but I am glad that I have been introduced to them. I have tried and tested the products for a couple of weeks now and I have to admit that I am really surprised by their quality and durability.

I had the misconception that all products that come with the label “eco” are dull, made from brown and grey fibrous materials and altogether are not as good as their competitors. I don’t know where that idea came from, but I have to hold my hands up and admit that I was wrong.

All the products that I received in my cleaning kit have attractive and vibrant colours and are made from really sturdy materials. They feel like they’ve been created with the user in mind and convince through their ergonomic design as well as their easy usage. To say it short and sweet: All products are doing exactly what you would expect them to do, just like any other cleaning product, but some of the items are clearly beating their competitors. Let’s have a closer look at them:

The Dishmatic device came with 3 refills (around £3 for the device and £1.50 for refills) and is my new favourite cleaning product. I hate scrubbing sauce pans and this clever little invention makes it so much easier and fun. I was quite fascinated by the fact that you can fill the shaft with washing up liquid that then goes straight into the sponge and onto the surface you want to clean – how clever is that? I love it!

Another product I have been really impressed with is the Super Absorbent Quilted Multi-purpose cloth (£1.49 for a pack of two). The cloths from EcoForce can be used wet or dry for washing up, wiping up, mopping up, polishing and dusting. They’re a bit of an all-rounder and super soft. I really like them, because I only need one swipe to mop up spills that would have needed two or three swipes with my usual cloth.

I know this one sounds a bit strange, but I was really excited about the peg basket that I received. The pegs are amazing and yes, I really mean that. Why? Because they don’t have any of these nasty little springs that break after two uses or leave rust stains on your clothes, because you left them on the washing line for too long. Also, they have a really strong grip and make sure that your clothes stay where they are even in the heaviest of storms. What’s not to like? I don’t know how much the basket is, but the pegs retail at £1.25, which is great value.

All in all, I am really happy with the entire range, especially the products that I have pointed out to you. I am quite sure that I will repurchase these once I have run out. But now the exciting part for you: You can win a fab cleaning kit worth £50 for yourself. All you have to do is fill in the Rafflecopter form below. Incomplete entries will be deleted!

  13. Cleaning L's kitchen.. he lives with to other guys. Between them all, I'm the only one who buys the cleaning products for their flat and actually cleans it! It's so disgusting, I can't cook there unless I fully clean it first!

  48. Erm…..you're going to find me rather strange – I love cleaning!
    In fact, I've been on house cleans and I've always opted to do the toilets and kitchen as they're the ones I love to do. No idea why!
    I think if anything, perhaps Ironing is something I could live without but not too bothered by it lol

  71. I hate ALL housework! I would love to win the lottery so I can employ a housekeper. Failing that, winning this prize would be the next best thing as it would give me so much encouragement to do it!

  86. I should say ironing but as I now almost never iron anything now, I'd have to say cleaning the cooker, especially the oven

  90. I don't think I really hate any household chore, I find cleaning quite relaxing. I suppose I dislike the mouldy shower grout and sealant, and cleaning that is a pretty thankless task because even though its better as a result it is still discoloured and looks horrible…but of all the DIY tasks in the world, replacing grout and sealant in the enclosed shower cubicle is a terrible terrible thing hahaha!

  118. Cleaning the bath, when we bought the house it was a great selling point, state of the art, fixed shower screen, overhead shower with foot spa and jacuzzi, however the only way to clean it is to stand in it, as it is impossible to reach the tap end by leaning over the side!! So I usually end up covered in Cif!!

  242. Ironing – well, the idea of it anyway!
    I hate the thought of it and find it hard to get started – the pile just gets bigger and bigger … but when I actually get round to it it's not too bad 🙂
