There are also eco dishwashing products, Simply Dishwash Citrus and Simply Dishwash Active, both incorporating eco-smart SoftTab technology including rinse aid, glass protection and water softener.
With eco labels, you may be used to paying a heavy price to save the earth, but Simply Washing's products are actually cheaper than the major brands (both eco-friendly and eco-unfriendly). Now it's even cheaper for you: get 10% off your first order with Simply Washing; just enter code 'Ecomaniac1' at checkout. Offer expires 30 April.

Bin the plastic bags in 2008 with a trendy trolley from Rolser. In the UK shopping trolleys used to rank just above Zimmer frames in the fashion stakes, but chic Europeans have been sporting them for years, especially in sleek designs and distinctly un-grandmotherly fabrics. (I have a soft spot for Rolser's hot pink trolleys and of course the green ones.) Visit Rolser.co.uk to see the entire collection.
Make a new year's resolution to grab your smart shopper and walk to the high street instead of driving to out-of-town superstores. It might help with any resolutions about shifting the excess Christmas pounds – rumour has it Santa's not the only one with a belly like a bowl full of jelly.
The [Accidental] EcoManiac has a smart Rolser trolley to give away. The award-winning 'Plegmatic' design folds from the size of a large handbag (less than five pounds!) into a spacious cart that can carry everything without the wrist-burn that's the bane of carrier bags. The trolley
is made in Spain, waterproof, sturdy and smart enough for fashionistas. After all, nothing looks more un-chic in 2008 than a lass laden with armloads of plastic bags. The winner can choose from these three black-and-white designs: funky floral, classic polka-dots or sensible stripes.
THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED. The winner is: Tara Walker, and she'll receive her trolley by the end of the month. Congratulations, Tara!
