Meet Ecostore
If you value clean ingredients at home and on your skin, Ecostore delivers everyday essentials that work without compromise. At Wholefood Merchants, we carry a carefully chosen selection of this New Zealand-born brand's plant-based cleaning, laundry, and personal care products. Gentle formulas, thoughtful packaging, and reliable performance make Ecostore a natural fit for households that care about what they bring through the front door.
What Makes Ecostore Special?
Ecostore builds products around plant-based and mineral ingredients, steering clear of harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, and unnecessary fillers. The result is a range that cleans effectively, feels pleasant to use, and sits well alongside your other health-conscious choices. Packaging is designed with sustainability in mind, including refill options and recycled materials.
What stands out is the balance between gentleness and genuine cleaning power. You do not have to choose between effective and responsible - Ecostore brings both to the same bottle.
Choose Your Ecostore Essentials
The range covers several household needs, so start with the areas that matter most to you.
- Laundry: Liquid wash and powder options for everyday loads, sensitive skin, and delicates
- Dishwashing: Liquid for handwashing and tablets or powder for the machine
- Surface cleaning: Multi-purpose sprays and bathroom cleaners for daily wipe-downs
- Personal care: Body wash, hand wash, shampoo, conditioner, and moisturisers
- Baby care: Gentle washes and lotions for little ones, alongside brands like Weleda for a complete nursery shelf
Pick one or two categories to start with and expand as products run out.
Before You Switch
Transitioning to plant-based products is straightforward. Use up your current supplies first to avoid waste. When you switch, give new products a few uses before judging performance - your surfaces, fabrics, and skin may respond differently at first as residues from previous products wash away. Most people notice the difference within a week.
Using Ecostore Day to Day
Follow label directions for dilution and dosage. A little goes a long way with concentrated formulas.
- Laundry: Measure according to load size. Use warm or cold water depending on the fabric. For stubborn marks, pre-treat with a small amount of liquid wash before loading.
- Dishes: A single squeeze handles a full sink of handwashing. For dishwashers, one tablet or the recommended powder dose keeps glassware sparkling.
- Surfaces: Spray, let sit briefly, then wipe with a damp cloth. Buff dry on glass and stainless steel for a streak-free finish.
- Personal care: Lather body wash or shampoo in your hands first, then apply. Rinse thoroughly and follow with conditioner or moisturiser as needed.
Keeping Products at Their Best
Store bottles upright in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight. Seal caps tightly after use to preserve freshness. Concentrated formulas last well, so a single bottle covers more washes than you might expect. If you use refill pouches, rinse the original bottle before topping up to keep things clean.
Common Questions
Will plant-based cleaners handle tough jobs?
Yes. For heavier grime, allow the product to sit for a minute or two before wiping. Repeat for stubborn build-up. Pre-treating laundry stains also helps with set-in marks.
Are these safe around kids and pets?
Ecostore avoids harsh chemicals and strong fragrances, making the range a sensible choice for busy households. As with any cleaning product, store bottles out of reach and let surfaces dry before little hands or paws get involved.
Do I need separate products for every room?
Not necessarily. A good multi-purpose spray handles kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas. Add a dedicated bathroom cleaner if you prefer targeted formulas for soap scum and limescale.
Where Ecostore Works Hardest
Every room has a job for plant-based cleaning. Here is how to get the most out of your favourites.
Kitchen
Multi-purpose spray on benchtops and splashbacks after cooking. Dishwashing liquid for the sink load. A quick wipe of the stovetop while it is still warm saves scrubbing later. One spray bottle and one squeeze handle most of the daily mess.
Bathroom
Keep a bathroom cleaner and cloth within arm's reach. Spray the basin and mirror after your morning routine and buff dry. Tackle soap scum on shower glass once a week before it builds. Consistent small passes mean you rarely need a deep scrub.
Laundry
Measure liquid wash according to load size - more product does not mean cleaner clothes. Cold water handles everyday loads and saves energy. Pre-treat stubborn marks with a small dab of liquid wash ten minutes before loading.
Living Spaces
Door handles, light switches, and remote controls collect grime fast. A damp cloth with a spray of multi-purpose cleaner once or twice a week keeps high-touch surfaces fresh. Open windows afterwards and let air do the finishing work.
Who Benefits Most
- Families looking for effective cleaning without harsh chemicals
- Eco-conscious shoppers who want sustainable packaging options
- People with sensitive skin who prefer fragrance-free or gentle personal care - also worth exploring MooGoo for ultra-sensitive formulas
- Renters and apartment dwellers who want simple, multi-purpose products
- Anyone simplifying their household products into fewer, better choices
Simple Tips for Best Results
Use the recommended dose - more product does not mean better cleaning. Microfibre cloths pair well with plant-based sprays for streak-free results. Wash laundry on cold when possible to save energy and protect fabrics. Refill where you can to reduce packaging waste. Rinse cloths and sponges after each use to keep them fresh.
