Seventh Generation Automatic Dishwasher Powder, Free & Clear, 75-Ounces Boxes, Case Pack, (Pack of 8)

Works as well as Cascade or store brand dishwasher detergent for us, yet is non-toxic and without phosphates and chlorine. We have city water. We get spots on soft plastics like Gerber sippy cups, but we did with Cascade and store brand, too. Using a rinse aid and adjusting the detergent amount per the instructions helps.

I have used this for several years now & am happy with how it cleans. I have well water with no water softener & a low amount of minerals. I use around 1 tablespoon (no less) in each detergent cup in the dishwasher. I split the case with a friend who has city water with a higher amount of minerals & she has to use more to effectively clean the dishes, but she is happy with it as well. I keep my detergent in a plasic container rather than the original box (so there is no worry of the box getting wet & clumping the powder). When I first started using this I expected a cloud of lung burning dust like my old detergent when I refilled my container. I was surprised & pleased that there was hardly any cloud & no smell. Also, when the dishwasher exhausts steam, there is no smell then either. The subscription price for this is great as well.

Great alternative to more caustic diswashing detergents. I have been using it for several years. I feel good about using it and my dishes come out great.

I tried and really liked other Seventh Generation products, but this was just terrible. Yes, I have hard water. I filled both cups like the instructions said to do with hard water and also used a rinse aid (instructions recommended for hard water) but it left white scum all over everything! I was very disappointed. I wanted to use something eco friendly, but at this rate I'll be using my electrosol again.

Unless the dishes are perfectly clean before going into the dishwasher, this detergent doesn't work. It didn't clean my tea cup, which Cascade does. It didn't remove a bit of cake residue on a glass pan; of course, after the pan has been through the entire dishwasher cycle, and the brown bits are still stuck to the pan, they are much, much harder to remove.

Sorry; I tried to be "green". But if I have to run a lot more hot water and use a lot of soap in the sink to perfectly prewash each and every dish before I put it in the dishwasher, that's not too green, either. And since the dishwasher is supposed to be a labor saving device, this soap is causing it to become a more labor intensive device. I cancelled my automatic shipment option on this, and I'll be forced to go to one of the "big box stores" and stock up on Cascade.

Don't waste your money.
