This is among my favorite "natural" dishwasher detergents. I've used it in three different dishwashers and it's worked well in both, cleaning most of my dishes quite well (and I don't pre-rinse unless something is really bad). I've also tried the citrus-scented version of this, which works equally well (the scent in that appears to be just orange peel oil, which I can barely smell and can't at all after washing--unlike the heavily-scented "conventional" detergents with synthetic fragrances). I have previously used Seventh Generation's powdered unscented dish detergent but got the citrus one on sale on Amazon a while back. I was so impressed that I kept using it and switched to this one when the citrus one became hard to find. The ingredient list is very similar to Seventh Generation's.

You don't need much of this detergent compared to others. The directions recommend 1 tablespoon per load (splitting it evenly between the regular and pre-wash detergent cups if you have two), or 2 tablespoons for hard water or heavy loads. I normally use a heaping tablespoon and put about 1/3 of it in the pre-wash cup, but your needs may vary depending on your water. It doesn't come with any measuring device, but I just re-purposed an old plastic measuring spoon I had for this purpose. By the way, the container is almost full to the brim, which is nice so they don't waste packing, but it also means that if your spoon has a handle it won't fit nicely into the jar until you've used a bit of the detergent--not necessarily a problem, but something you might want to consider.

All things considered, I find this a good detergent and would buy it again. Unfortunately, it's almost doubled in price since I first found it on Amazon (no longer see it in Subscribe and Save, and Prime Pantry is still more than it was before). I've switched back to the Seventh Generation powder since it's easier for me to find, and I can buy it locally. I wouldn't hesitate to switch back if the Biokleen detergent became more readily available, but both work well for me!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cleans crazy stuff

I fried some eggs, and then some hash browns, in the frying pan, which always leaves a bunch of burnt-on stuff to clean up. I put it into the dishwasher hours later and tried this out on it. It was COMPLETELY clean, which was a relief, because if this hadn't worked I would have gone back to my chemical-bomb cleaner to avoid that mess.

What's kind of weird and cool, though, is that when I would use the chemical-comb cleaner on the same scenario, there would be big clumps of the burnt mess in the dishwasher filter. Which is fine and all, that's what the filter is for. But this powder just disintegrates all that, and the filter is totally clean. Must be the enzymes or something.

Anyway, I'm so grateful to have this. I'd been using Biokleen's dishwashing gel before I got a dishwasher, and it worked great, so I'm glad this didn't disappoint. I don't miss the weird oily chemical residue the chemical bomb cleaner would leave, or how my dishes would smell and taste chemical-y.

One thing I've noticed: every now and then some dishes will not get clean, but it's always been because I didn't position them well for my dishwasher. I don't know if that could be the cause for other people's troubles, but my dishwasher is not a beast and if you just slightly block another dish, it won't get clean. But if I take care to position everything well, it doesn't matter how dirty they are.

So: this gets everything very clean in my mediocre portable dishwasher. Thumbs up from me.

"Ecstatic" is not a word I ever thought I would associate with dish washing detergent, but there you go. I was ECSTATIC when I discovered this dish powder. It is good for everyone in my home, good for the environment, and ultimately good for my wallet - though I did a lot of number crunching before I would believe it given the cost of what seemed a small container and the large amount of detergent I had needed to use with previous products. One tablespoon and my dishes were clean and sparkly. We're talking the kind of clean and sparkly you see in commercials that are never true-to-life. Except this time. I was surprised and thrilled and happy and, well, ecstatic.

I don't pre-clean my dishes. A quick scrape and into the dishwasher they go. I also wait until the washer is fully loaded, since I don't see the point in running it for just a few dishes. And also, I confess, I don't run it every night, so some of that left on food was there for more than 24 hrs.... Even with all that, sparkly-and-clean-like-a-commercial dishes were mine. I started buying everything biokleen after experiencing the dish powder. (I also strongly recommend the bathroom cleaner!)

4.0 out of 5 stars No scent, and it works!!
Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2018

I'm very pleased with this, so far, having washed about 10 loads. I bought this because I can't stand the scented dishwasher detergents. Maybe I'm more sensitive to it than others, but for me it was more than a scent, I could taste the fragrance in foods stored in containers washed with scented detergent. Silicone containers and gaskets seem to pick it up the most. After using this, the smell is gone from my dishes. As for cleaning, I'm mostly pleased. I've had a few dishes that didn't come clean, but I can't say for sure that my previous detergent would have succeeded either. Guacamole can be very tenacious! I'm still using Jet Dry, since I have a huge bottle from Costco. After it's done I may try Biokleen's version. I need a rinse aid with the water here (RVA city water).

I like this product but always feel that the Ecover tablets do a better job of cleaning. When I use this product by itself it seems to still leave some stuck on food particles on the dishes. I did like using this product with the Ecover tablets by putting this powder in the pre-wash cup and then putting the Ecover tablet in the main washer cup and it always cleaned the dishes really well. If you want to clean with a product by itself I suggest trying the Ecover tablets first.
