Our detergent is more environmentally friendly
Aug
Additional information obtained from the pine soap solution
Pine soap solution has “always” been considered very environmentally friendly. That’s how we’ve used it to wash our paddling vests for years. We have also checked the environmental suitability of the substance on the side of the bottles. We looked to see if there was any ecological label on the bottle.
Now, how do we wash the paddling vests? A new solution had to be found for that.
Changes in environmental classification
Studies of the pine peat solution have provided additional information on the environmental effects of the solution. As a result of the research results, the right to use ecological labels has been removed from the solution.
The resin-containing pine oil in the pine soap solution harms fauna, especially fish living in water. This soap is no longer recommended for use in bodies of water or near open water.
That’s why we got worried too. When we realized that today’s pine soap solution is without environmental classification, we immediately looked for a new solution for washing paddling vests.
The task was not as easy as we imagined because we wanted to find a domestic product. However, the solution was found “close by”. We have already used environmentally certified dishwashing detergent manufactured by Kiilo. We noticed that the same company also makes a suitable detergent for paddling vests.

Our new detergent
Kiilto Pro Green Textile
New for washing paddling vests
However, there was a small challenge in purchasing new detergent. Kiilto Pro Green Textile detergent is made for professionals. Therefore, it cannot be found on the shelves of Prisma, K-shop, or Lidl. In addition, the sales lot is also slightly larger.
With the help of Kiilo, we got to know the dealers. Pro Green Textile detergent was successful in Vantaa from the same wholesaler, where we also get other goods.
We can now also wash our work clothes with the same detergent.
Non-perfumed textile washing liquid
Kiilto Green liquid textile detergent is made from plant-based raw materials and the product is both phosphate-free and zeolite-free. The product is also not made from raw materials of animal origin and is therefore Vegan-labeled. An Allergylabel has been applied for a non-perfumed and colorless product. Color protection keeps the colors of textiles bright.
