<p>Hi James.</p>
<p>Most UK washine machine tablets/powder should be phosphate free now. But check to see if they have</p>
<p>sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) on the pack. If they do then that is phosphate.</p>
<p>Some will say they have Phosphonates in them, and there are some concerns about this additive. Optical brighteners give some people concern as they are made with stilbenes.</p>
<p>Which brands have you looked at?</p>

<p>Hi Theo, what about washing machine tablets? I can't tell which ones are phosphate-free 'cos they aren;t labelled. I used to get Ecover washing tablets, but I'm finding it hard to get them any more. Are alternatives like biological tablets phosphate-free?</p>
