Howzit. Saw the new Probac laundry detergent @ the local PNP. Checked their website and they have all kinds of house cleaning agents. The main driver behind their products it seems is using friendly bacteria to break down dirt and grease.

Anyone have any feedback on these products? Looks like Probac is a locally developed product and is earth friendly, or even good for the environment as it introduces friendly and useful bacteria into the water treatment systems? The plant derived soap also bio degrades in 7 days.

Sales pitch has more spin than a Mac Maharaj speech...

That being said, perhaps its better than the average product out there? Difficult to tell.
 
Well I can't comment on Probac but the sales pitch does sound a bit rich.

However my wife went on a testing spree recently after what we used before was taken off the market and the new stuff's smell irritated all of our noses.

So we've been using this from the Wellness Warehouse. I'm the last to believe "natural" or organic is automatically better but this has proven to actually work. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1416762530.390534.jpg

I actually use their shampoo and conditioner. Though it does not seem to be sold by the PNP in my area anymore.

Have used them... lick, rub, wipe and clean... not much else to say really...
 
Yes, I use a lot of their products. I think they are fantastic.
 
I also want to know about these products? They are well established by now.

The phrase: ‘finished product not tested on animals’ got me interested. Individual ingredients tested on animals is not acceptable to me either.

It seems like the latest tool to boost profits is selective wording and semantics to make products appear more green/organic/eco than they can ever hope to be!

Greenwashing.:laugh:
I have tried their carpet cleaner; I thought it was really expensive for what it was.
 
Yes exactly! Greenwashing. It’s a dirty habit! All you have to do is mention a couple buzzwords, biodegradable, earth friendly! And you got people!
