Friendly Baby June Competition

Friendly Baby have teamed up with Simply for the Friendly Baby June Competition. This month we are offering you the chance to win a one-year supply of washing powder tabs from Simply.

Why have we teamed up with Simply again?

Friendly Baby teamed up with Simply in January and had such a fantastic response we are keen to promote their new product Simply Pure and remind all of us why we should use Simply products rather than more mainstream brands.

Cloth nappy users are generally keen to help protect the environment, as well as use more natural products next to their family’s skin. What better way than to do this through careful cleaning of your cloth nappies and other clothing?

Simply’s passionate belief is that an environmentally responsible choice should be available to main stream consumers. In the case of their laundry detergents they’ve used a patented SoftTab technology to create a product which cleans as well or better than the traditional brands, doesn’t cost anymore (in fact on a cost per wash basis they’re nearly half the price of Ecover) and is independently accredited as minimising it’s impact on the environment.

Simply were the first UK manufactured laundry and dishwash brands to be awarded EU Eco-Label licences by DEFRA earlier this year. The Eco-Label standards are important in as much as they include stringent tests regarding biodegradability, packaging reduction, waste water content, chemical reduction etc but equally importantly they include stringent cleaning performance tests.

Environmentally responsible products will only start making a real difference when consumers have the confidence to move from major traditional brands and that means brands will have to offer value, great performance and credible green credentials. The EU Eco-Label which is being adopted on more and more products will do the same job for the environmentally responsible sector as Fair Trade has for ethical sourcing and the Soil Association has done for organic produce.

Simply Active has a powerful biological washing action, that does not come at the expense of the environment. Simply Active's special formulation gives you all the washing power you could wish for with the minimum impact on the planet.

Simply Sensitive has a special non-biological formulation which makes it gentle on sensitive skin, but delivers all the washing power you need. Whether you're cleaning clothes for babies, young children, teenagers or adults, Simply Sensitive delivers outstanding cleaning performance.

Simply Pure contains no perfume or optical brighteners - and gives you a gentle, hypoallergenic, non-biological wash. It's ideal for taking extra care of your family's skin, and especially good for delicates. All of which makes it the perfect family laundry detergent - and it's just as eco-friendly as the rest of their range.

Every single ingredient in their eco-smart washing system is biodegradable so Simply Pure, Simply Sensitive and Simply Active place the smallest possible burden on the environment. Simply Pure, Active and Sensitive all carry the EU Eco-label - the first UK detergent to be granted this guarantee of greenness - so it's as kind to the planet as it is to your own skin. Only products which have passed demanding environmental and cleaning tests laid down by the EU can carry the Eco-label. The symbol can only be carried on products which have undergone stringent testing in a number of categories. It is your assurance that Simply Pure, Simply Sensitive and Simply Active guarantee an efficient wash, a reduced amount of total chemicals, less packaging, increased biodegradability, and limited substances harmful to the aquatic environment.

Simply Laundry is also approved by the Vegan Society, and has been dermatologically tested.

You can get much more information about the eco-credentials and why you might want to switch to Simply on their FAQ page.
