Long has been my struggle in trying to find an automatic dishwasher detergent that 1) I can ethically feel good about and 2) actually cleans the dishes! I’ve gone through half a dozen brands with unsatisfactory results – and there really aren’t too many non-toxic dish detergents out there to begin with! While the conventional brands clean really well, the packaging also states “Harmful if swallowed – call poison control if swallowed”. What? Aren’t I using this product to clean items to put in my mouth but the product itself is poisonous? I’m not saying it should be straight edible but non-toxic would be nice!
So one day, I’m browsing the aisles at my local Tar-jay and I see this cheery package “Made and for People Against Dirty”:
Now, I’m a sucker for clever packaging and copy (as I am a copywriter!) so I pick up a bag. It promises no phosphates, no bleach, no dirty chemicals to clean my dishes. Sold!
I take the stuff home and pop the little tablet in my not-so-great apartment standard dishwasher loaded full of pots, pans, and dishes with some food particles still on them. (Hey, it’s why I own a dishwasher, right? Heavy rinsing beforehand is just wasting water anyway!)
My dishes came out clean. Even the pot with burnt garlic, dried tomato sauce and greasy meat residue. It was clean!
And at just about $6.50 per package, I get 20 truly clean loads of dishes from a non-toxic wash.
Did I mention I barely rinsed those dishes? Love it!
