In partnership with Forest Green Rovers (the greenest football team in the world according to FIFA), ecological cleaning brand Delphis Eco has launched its first laundry stain remover product to the household market.
Available from Waitrose, the laundry stain remover comes in a 350ml recyclable bottle, specially formulated using bio-based ingredients to penetrate and dissolve tough stains.
Unlike some other fabric stain removers, it’s free from optical brighteners such as peroxide, phosphate and phosphonate. It is vegan-friendly and readily biodegradable with no testing on animals.
The partnership between Delphis Eco and Forest Green Rovers is the next step in the two sustainability-focused businesses working together. The green football team already uses the cleaning brand’s Non-Bio Laundry Powder to wash the players’ kits, in addition to Delphis Eco’s washroom products across all its bathrooms and hospitality areas within the Club Stadium.
Paula Brown, Head of Commercial at Forest Green Rovers, said: “Working with Delphis Eco is a win-win for us at Forest Green Rovers as, just like us, Delphis Eco places the environment at the heart of decision-making and never stops innovating.
“We love the laundry powder, and it was an easy decision to take on board the laundry stain remover as well. We’ve tested the product and it’s superb at removing grass, mud, and blood stains from the players’ kits, and at the same time protecting the fabric. Pardon the football pun but we believe it’s a real keeper!”.
Delphis Eco’s CSO and Founder, Mark Jankovich, commented: “We are delighted to launch our powerful laundry stain remover product to the retail market. Waitrose requested to stock it almost immediately, and it will join the rest of our in-store range including our Limescale Remover and Anti-Bacterial Sanitiser and Cleaner.
“We are also so pleased to continue our laundry partnership with Forest Green Rovers on this launch. The team love the product and has been really putting it to the test with heavily stained and muddied players’ football kits. Suffice it to say they were thrilled with the results.
“Our retail product packaging always includes a quote from our commercial partners and Paula was more than happy to feature on our laundry stain remover. Plus, as a nod to the players’ away kit, which is bright pink, we’ve been able to incorporate that into the colour of the product label.”
