Tide laundry detergents and products

Dawn dishwashing

Ecover might be an alternative for laundry detergent and dish soap. Their website doesn't have anything overt but I'm not sure if they're any better than P&G. I use their laundry detergent and it seems to work fine.

Looks like it's owned by SC Johnson & Son. I haven't heard anything overtly woke from them or any of their brands, so that could work as an alternative.

One interesting note is that I find private, family-owned companies are a lot more resilient against wokeness than publicly-held ones. For example Goya, MyPillow, Yuengling, Papa John's (formerly) and many others.

Interesting, thank you. How do you tell if a company is privately owned?

I usually just look it up in Wikipedia. In the sidebar, it will say "Public" or "Private". You can also tell if a company is owned by a larger corporation, which is often important
