Ecover Natural Plant-based Automatic Dishwasher Tablets, Citrus, 45 Count

AMAZING! A must buy. I changed to eco-friendly because I have a toddler and I found that our dishes had a chemically smell after the dishwasher ran. Switch was the best thing ever and this product has NO bad smell and actually cleans the dishes BETTER! No residue no weird smells... I'm a lifer.

I was previously using the Ecover All-in-One Dishwaster Tablets, but found that they left a silky residue on everything that was washed. This made me a little paranoid since I don't wish to be ingesting any of the chemicals that made the surfaces silky. I've since changed over to this range of tablets, and find it just as effective minus the silky residue. It comes without rinse aid and salt action (that's found in the All-in-One, but which we don't require in Singapore anyway), and I suspect those might be the causes of the silky residue. In any case, a more economical and eco-friendly alternative than the usual established brands out there.

Value for money and reasonable price

Great

Alright I understand while being an eco-friendly product it still has its faults, most specifically the fact that they are individually wrapped. But I think people need to understand these are natural & when these pods get tossed around in warehouse + transit they can lose their shape & powder chips off. I think if they weren’t wrapped we’d be seeing a lot more complaints about when they arrived they were essentially powder in a box which defeats the use of a tablet in the first place. So to me the eco pros outweigh the cons.. the wrappers are still recyclable! Plus the ingredients are biodegradable, natural AND water/fish safe which is huge for me as a diver. What other detergent brand have you ever seen that’s actually fish friendly???! For my specific situation I have a countertop dishwasher as my small kitchen has zero room for a normal one but dishes are my least favorite (essentially intolerable gross chore—wet food just freaks me out tbh). With that said, I’m especially conscious about the detergent I’m using as it drains right into my sink & I need everything to dissolve appropriately. You’re not supposed to half tablets (although I’m sure I could) these are AMAZING!! They could easily clean a normal sized washer worth of dishes. Everything comes out clean & spotless!! I’ve put my small glass Pyrex in here, SPOTLESS! I put a 2.5qt crock dish with impossibly caked on brown rice residue that I tried & failed to hand scrub many times before… also came out perfectly clean & gleaming! I could not recommend this dishwasher detergent more! Even in my small machine the tablet is dissolved & it doesn’t leave residue.. not to say these tablets aren’t powerful, obviously! My machine has a window so I can see how much soap/foam is inside & it’s a big amount which makes me fully confident in saying it’d also do work in a full size machine. As for the scent, I don’t really smell it but I don’t need my dishes to smell good unless I’m smelling the food I put in them so that’s no issue for me. The lemon ones just happened to be cheaper at my time of purchase otherwise I would’ve gone with fragrance free anyways.
