Looking out for greener detergent is not just about reducing the environmental impact of the product and helping the planet; it can help you, too, in many ways. For instance:

• Today's compact detergents are lighter than their predecessors, so they are easier to carry home from the supermarket.
• The boxes are smaller, too, so they take up less space in your car and in your home.
• They last longer, so you save money.
• They allow you to wash at lower temperatures, so your electricity bill won't be so high.
• Washing at lower temperatures will also allow you to properly clean delicate items without risk of them breaking or fading.
• If you use tablets or liquitabs then there is no fiddling about to get the right dose, saving you time.
• If you use all-in-one dishwashing tablets then you don't need to worry about adding extra ingredients into the wash - another saving in time and money.
• The formulation of today's powders and liquids makes them less prone to leaving marks on your laundry.
