Frequently Asked Questions

About detergents

Are your products safe?

Our products are developed with a focus on effectiveness, safety for people and animals, and respect for the environment.

We use used cooking oil as a plant-based raw material, combined with other carefully selected ingredients to balance cleaning performance, safety, and sustainability.

All products comply with applicable European legislation and are formulated for safe household use when used according to the instructions.

In our online store, you will find the full list of ingredients in the description of each detergent, with complete transparency.

Is it safe to use detergents obtained with EcoX solutions?

Yes. When used in accordance with the directions on the label, EcoX detergents are safe to use in both domestic and professional settings, as they are laboratory-tested by certified scientists.

The SOAPY® Kit has also undergone dermatological testing by independent third parties, confirming its safety for adults and children.

Are detergents tested on animals?

Our products have V-Label Vegan certification, which guarantees the absence of animal-derived ingredients and compliance with strict criteria regarding the non-performance of animal testing associated with certified products.

Are your products suitable for sensitive skin?

Our products are developed with a focus on efficacy, safety for people and animals, and respect for the environment.

We have not yet carried out specific dermatological tests. However, we are working on developing additional tests with the aim of continuously enhancing the suitability of our products for different skin types.

Nevertheless, our products are used by customers with various skin sensitivities, including cases of atopic skin and rosacea, with no report of any significant issues associated with their use. You can read a recent testimonial from a customer here.

In our online store, you will find the full list of ingredients in the description of each detergent, with complete transparency.

We also offer a Trial Kit, which allows you to test the detergents on a small scale before using them more regularly.

Why should I recycle used cooking oil?

When not properly disposed of, used cooking oil has a negative impact on homes, public networks, the climate, aquatic environments, and soil.

According to Quercus data, one litre of used cooking oil is enough to contaminate one million litres of water (an amount sufficient for a person's survival for 40 years).

If used cooking oil is used to make detergents, won't it contaminate the water?

No. Oil in its normal state is a contaminant because, by not mixing with water, it creates a layer on the surface, preventing oxygen exchange with the atmosphere and the entry of solar radiation into the water.

With EcoX solutions, oil is completely transformed into fatty acids and glycerol, which are miscible with water.

Can I use any oil in the SOAPY® and use it immediately after frying?

EcoX solutions are developed and laboratory-tested to work with various oils such as vegetable oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, corn oil, and olive oil.

The oil can be used immediately after frying, but you should let it cool to room temperature. After it cools, filter out any solid particles using a napkin or a strainer.

After using the mixer or hand blender in the SOAPY® process, can I use it to cook?

Yes. The process of transforming used cooking oil into cleaning products will help sanitise the mixer or hand blender.

However, we recommend washing the moving parts with plenty of water after each use.

Can I use your products with a septic tank?

Our products are developed with special care to minimise their environmental impact and are also safe for people and animals when used correctly.

We do not have specific studies regarding their use in septic tanks or equivalent systems. Nevertheless, many of our customers use the wastewater from washing with our detergents for purposes such as watering plants or in septic tank systems, and no significant issues associated with their use have been reported.

Why might product and packaging colours vary?

The colour may vary slightly from product to product, and this is part of EcoX's circularity.

Our products are developed from recovered used cooking oil, a raw material that can have different characteristics depending on its origin and composition. Therefore, there may be natural variations in the product's shade.

Our packaging is also produced with certified post-consumer plastic, made from materials that have been used before. For this reason, the shade of the packaging may vary, and there is no absolutely uniform colour standard.

These variations are exclusively visual and do not compromise the quality, safety, or performance of our products.

At EcoX, we believe that circularity also means accepting some natural variability, without compromising what really matters: effectiveness and quality.

Why do your products have hazard symbols?

Hazard pictograms are assigned according to the composition of each product and current legislation, identifying the risks associated with its use.

Therefore, we always recommend that you follow the directions for use and the precautions indicated on the label of each detergent. In our online store, in the description of each detergent, you will find the complete list of ingredients, in a fully transparent manner.

Our products are developed taking into account their effectiveness, respect for the environment and the safety of people and animals, when used according to the instructions.

Are your perfumes natural? Where do they come from?

The fragrances used in our products are of synthetic origin.

All ingredients comply with applicable European legislation and are carefully selected to ensure safe use when the products are used according to the instructions.

Consumer safety and respect for the environment are priorities in the formulation of our products.

USAGE QUESTIONS

Which detergent do you recommend for baby clothes?

For washing baby clothes, we recommend the Delicate Laundry Detergent, as it contains no perfume, enzymes or bleaching agents.

However, if the baby shows no signs of sensitivity or skin problems, you can also use the detergent you normally use for the rest of the family's laundry.

We do not recommend using fabric softener on newborn clothes, as it is released in the final stage of the wash and can leave residues in the fabrics, increasing the risk of irritation to such delicate and sensitive skin.

What products can I use on wood?

For cleaning wooden surfaces, varnished or unvarnished, we recommend Multisuperfícies Citro.

For best results, we suggest applying the product to a cloth first and only then cleaning the surface, avoiding direct application to the wood.

Alternatively, you can use our Floor Detergent, provided it is properly diluted in water. We do not recommend using it undiluted.

We recommend always testing the product on a small, inconspicuous area before use to ensure compatibility with the surface.

What products can I use on marble?

The best product for cleaning marble depends on the type of dirt you want to remove.

For simple cleaning, we recommend Multisuperfícies citro, but if you want a deeper clean, it is best to use our floor detergent (at the recommended dilution) or the hand-washing-up liquid.

About your account

I forgot my password. What can I do?

In the Login area, you must access the link that says “Forgot your password?” and follow the steps indicated to generate a new password.

How does the EcoXpert points program work?

The EcoXpert programme starts when you create an account on the EcoX website with your email and password.

When you create an account, you immediately earn 200 points, and for every €1 spent, you earn 10 points. If you visit the website twice a week, you receive an additional 14 points.

All the points you accumulate can be exchanged for discounts on products. How? By clicking on the EcoXpert icon (which appears in the bottom corner), you will see the option to convert them into a discount (you can only exchange points when you have at least 500).

Find out more here.

Where can I check my points?

To check your points, simply log in to your account.

In the bottom left corner, you'll find the "EcoXpert" button, where you can check your available balance.

Whenever you want to use your points, you can exchange them for a discount code, which is automatically generated for you to use at checkout. You can exchange points starting from a minimum of 500 points.

How can I return my empty packaging?

Don't have the option to buy in bulk? The Re-EcoX program is for you: it's free and allows you to reuse all 0.85L, 5L and 20L containers, promoting their reuse and contributing to the reduction of single-use packaging consumption.

Prepare your empty containers in a box and fill out the DPD form, selecting the home collection or delivery to a pickup point option.

If you opt for home collection, you will only have to wait for the collection on the scheduled date. If you choose a Pickup point, simply present the QR Code you received.

Can I refill the packaging I return?

For now, the Re-EcoX programme works by collecting packaging free of charge after use.

Once received, it undergoes a process of assessment, cleaning, and preparation for reuse.

To ensure the immediate availability of products and avoid waiting times associated with the collection and reconditioning process of the packaging, new orders are shipped in packaging prepared for this purpose. In this way, the returned packaging is not filled as soon as we receive it, but rather according to the timings of its care process.

Do I get discounts or benefits for returning packaging?

Currently, there are no benefits or discounts, but we are continuously working on developing the programme with the aim of introducing benefits.

At present, the main benefit of the Re-EcoX programme is that it allows packaging to be returned free of charge, helping to promote its reuse and reduce the use of single-use packaging.
