Ecos Liquid From Costco

9 years ago

Yesterday a friend took me to Costco. I went to the detergent isle to see if they carried All Free and Clear. They didn't but they do carry one called ECOS. I checked the ingredients and it didn't list enzymes and it looked like mostly coconut byproducts as the detergents. I bought a giant bottle for under $13, When I finish the Gain liquid I am going to try it. Anyone else ever tried it? How did it do?

    I have the Lavender. It's okay. Nothing social in my opinion. No color guard and doesn't make whites white. Mine includes Enzymes.

    Mine was different than the one pictured above. Don't know if it had enzymes but it didn't say "plus enzymes" like the pic. It was a magnolia and something or other smell. After using it for a few loads, I gave the bottle away. The smell was worse than your standard, strong laundry detergent (like blue Tide and the like). And the smell didn't seem to leave the clothing. I could not stand smelling it all day long.

    I was at Costco and saw the Ecos detergent the other day. I am debating trying it for the sensitive skinned people of my family. I will be following this thread.

    Ecos, IMO, does NOT clean well at all. It can be sudsy. It is not the best rinser. It can result in smelly, musty clothes. Stain removal is below average. Sorry!

    Oh my goodness and I have a whole jug. I wonder if it can be mixed with liquid Tide He and disposed of that way?

    Oh gosh don't mess up a good jug of Tide with it...LOL...can you return it?

    Ecos is a poor preformer and poor rinser...it clogs the fibers with soils it hasn't removed and with residue causing dingy clothes that soon develope an odor...return it if you can.

    Ask your friend to take it back to Costco. They take anything back, used or not.

    I also hate Ecos. I had the same experience as everyone else. It rinses really poorly and doesn't clean at all.

    I guess the rinsing poorly is why the smell hung around FOREVER. Haha.

    I'm going to take it back. I also thought I bought a VacuSealer and it was only the plastic bags, so I have to take that back too.
