Real experiences, shared to help you choose

The products we bring into our homes can matter in unexpected ways. These personal stories share what MGL customers changed and what they noticed.

Family story Dishwasher Powder

“Nappy Rash Cured!”

One family’s experience after changing what they used to wash their child’s bottles and feeding equipment.

MGL Dishwasher Powder product range
Within a few days of switching to MGL Dishwasher Powder, our child’s harsh, blistering nappy rash completely cleared up.

We replaced our regular dishwashing tablets with MGL Dishwasher Powder, and within a few days our child’s harsh, blistering nappy rash completely cleared up. Suspecting it might just be coincidence, we switched back to the store-bought tablets — and the painful blisters and inflammation promptly returned.

Looking more closely, we noticed the conventional tablets left a visible film on the bottles and feeding equipment. We became concerned that tiny amounts of residue might be ingested with every feed. We wondered whether ingredients in the store-bought product could be contributing to irritation and whether that sensitivity might be connected to the severe inflammation on our child’s skin.

MGL Dishwasher Powder uses a milder, plant-based formula with glucoside surfactants and oxygen-based bleaching agents, and contains no chlorine or phosphates. In our experience, it rinsed much cleaner and left far less visible residue on the bottles. After we made the change, the blistering rash disappeared.

This experience forced us to think hard about what we put into our bodies — and how we had done so without real thought for years.

Customer story Oven Cleaner & Degreaser

The iron that finally came clean

One determined customer, one stubborn iron and a cleaner with something to prove.

MGL Oven Cleaner and Degreaser product range
Lo and behold — the grime surrendered immediately. Apparently, nobody had told this plant-based cleaner it was supposed to be gentle on dirt!

My iron had become less of a household appliance and more of a stubborn cleaning challenge. I had tried all sorts of products, but the grime simply refused to budge.

Then I bought MGL Oven Cleaner & Degreaser and decided to give it a go. The result was immediate: the mess lifted, the iron came clean and I was left staring at it in delighted disbelief. Plant-based, yes. A pushover? Clearly not.

Customer story O2 Washing Powder

Fresh laundry, no running commentary

A simple laundry swap brought comfort to sensitive skin — and peace to the household.

MGL O2 Washing Powder product range
The itching stopped — and, rather wonderfully, so did the post-laundry moaning!

My husband has sensitive skin, and freshly washed clothes often left him itching and uncomfortable. Clean laundry day was followed by a familiar soundtrack: scratch, grumble, repeat.

Then I switched to MGL O2 Washing Powder. The difference was hard to miss: the clothes came out clean, my husband was comfortable and the household became noticeably quieter.

It made us think differently about laundry products. Our clothes sit against our skin all day, so what is used to wash them — and what may remain after rinsing — deserves more thought than we had been giving it. We cannot know which ingredient was responsible for his previous irritation, but this simple change made a very welcome difference for us.

Customer story Dishwashing Liquid

When washing up stopped leaving its mark

He always enjoyed washing dishes by hand. His sensitive skin was considerably less enthusiastic.

MGL Dishwashing Liquid product range
I changed the liquid in the sink — and one day realised the familiar psoriasis streaks on my hands had vanished.

I like washing my dishes by hand, but I have lived with mild psoriasis for most of my life. After spending time at the sink, the dry, irritated streaks on my hands were simply something I had learned to expect.

Then someone gave me a bottle of the green MGL Dishwashing Liquid. It was a gift, so I switched products without expecting anything more than clean plates.

The plates certainly came clean — but the real surprise was my hands. After using the MGL liquid, I suddenly noticed that those familiar streaks had disappeared. Washing up was still satisfying; it just stopped leaving a visible souvenir.

Customer story Eco Stain Remover

When the white wash came out covered in black ink

One forgotten pen, a tumble dryer and a load of white washing that suddenly looked beyond saving.

MGL Eco Stain Remover product range
By morning, the black ink was gone. The washing was white again, with no marks and no damage to the clothing.

Keeping a load of white washing white is stressful enough. This time, I had unknowingly left a black pen inside my white backpack before putting everything into the washing machine.

I still had not spotted it when the load went into the tumble dryer. Only when the dryer finished did I discover what had happened: black ink blotches were scattered across everything, as though somebody had splattered paint over the entire white wash.

I treated the marks with MGL Eco Stain Remover, gave the worst areas a gentle rub and left the clothing to soak overnight. By morning, everything had come perfectly clean. The ink marks were gone, the washing was white again and the clothing had not been damaged.
