Eco-labels Tip of the Month: The truth about phosphates in laundry detergents. If the label says "No phosphates", don't be fooled. Phosphates were largely eliminated in powdered laundry detergents in the mid 90's — and liquid laundry detergents never contained them in the first place.

Our Eco-labeling Center lets you search more than 100+ eco-labels on popular food and personal care products, wood and paper, as well as household cleaners.
