If you add your laundry to the washing machine before adding your detergent, or if you tightly pack your laundry into the machine, pockets can be formed to keep the detergent from proper contact with water. To avoid this issue, firstly fill your washing machine with water and add your detergent. Then, add your laundry last.

Enzymes are natural, biodegradable molecules that work to break up specific stain groups. For example, in AMWAY HOME products, we use one enzyme that naturally breaks up protein stains like blood, egg, or baby formula. Another enzyme we use naturally breaks up starch stains like rice, pasta, or pudding. Once the stains have been broken up, they can easily be washed away.

Yes, all AMWAY HOME products are safe for septic systems. They won’t cause sludge to form or disrupt the natural bacteria that keeps your septic system working.

The use of liquid versus powder is a matter of preference and personal choice. Advantages to using liquid detergent are better colour longevity and better product dispensing. Also, liquid dissolves better in cooler water temperatures. Traditionally, powder detergent offer maximum cleaning on heavily soiled garments and can be less expensive to use.

This helps reduce product replenishment lead times and to cut down on the carbon emissions of finished goods transportation as much as 70% - a point which is in line with AMWAY’s long-standing commitment to a safe and more environmentally sensitive product.

The amount of greenhouse gasses produced in our day-to-day lives through burning fossil fuels such as gas, coal or oil for electricity, heating and transportation will produce carbon dioxide. The effect of all this extra carbon dioxide goes into the atmosphere that causes an increase in the surface temperature of our planet (global warming).

No, this will not impact the formulations or packaging of the products. All products will go through the same level of commitment on sourcing and the same level of quality and production principles used in ADA. The only noticeable change is the change in address on the products’ labels.

L.O.C. Kitchen Cleaner, L.O.C. Glass Cleaner, L.O.C. Multi-Purpose Cleaner, L.O.C. Soft Cleanser, DISH DROPS Concentrated Dishwashing Liquid and SA8 Liquid Concentrated Laundry Detergent.

Certain products such as SA8 PreWash Spray Soil and Stain Remover, DISH DROPS Scrub Buds and GREEN MEADOWS Air Freshener do not carry the BIOQUEST logo because GREEN MEADOWS and SA8 PreWash Spray are tested as "ultimately biodegradable" (it does degrade eventually but not fast enough to meet the strict "readily biodegradable" definition). DISH DROPS Scrub buds are steel and therefore are not biodegradable.

U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s Safer Choice Programme promotes high performing products, which are safer for people and the environment.

It means the product contains ingredients with more positive health and environmental characteristics than conventional cleaners that are safer for people and the planet, and uphold the high standards of environmental responsibility set forth.

The above products are still available for sale but not branded under AMWAY HOME as their existing formulations do not yet meet the BIOQUEST Formula and Safer Choice criteria. However, there are ongoing R&D efforts to review the formulation.

AMWAY HOME range is highly concentrated compared to supermarket brands. For example:

• Just one litre of L.O.C. Multi-Purpose Cleaner is the equivalent to 10 litres of cleaning solution.
  
• Just one 3kg carton of SA8 Premium Concentrated Laundry Detergent is equivalent to 11kg of OMO 2X concentrated front loader.
  
  Because you use less to achieve the same result, you save money.

AMWAY’s concern for the environment began over 50 years ago. Our products use up to 18 times less packaging than competitors and the high concentration means that less waste is released back into the environment.

Simply put, our home range out-performs the competition. We deliver unbeatable customer satisfaction and provide real value for money.
