Dishwasher Detergent and Booster,Scent Free,48 Loads (1lb),Ultra Clean, Spot Free, Quick Wash Optimized,Hyper Concentrated

I love that this detergent is completely scent-free, leaving no chemical smells on my dishes. It cleans exceptionally well, removing all food particles and leaving absolutely no residue or water spots—everything comes out sparkling. It feels very safe and effective. The only downside is that it is on the expensive side per load compared to standard brands. However, for the clean ingredients and high performance, I think it's worth the extra cost.

We’ve been using Dirty Labs dishwasher powder for our everyday loads — mostly dishes, glasses, silverware, and plastic containers (we don’t run pots and pans through the dishwasher) — and it’s been working very well. One of the first things I noticed is how little you actually need. A small scoop goes a long way, which makes the jar last longer than I expected. It feels a bit different from pods or gels — more like you’re dialing in the amount based on the load — but that’s been easy to adjust to. Cleaning performance has been solid. Dishes come out clean, no noticeable residue, and no strong chemical smell. Plastics and glassware look good. The packaging is also a plus. No plastic, and it comes with a small wooden scoop. It’s a nice touch, though after a couple of purchases you may find yourself with more scoops than you need. (We’re starting to accumulate a small collection.) Part of the appeal here is that it seems like a more environmentally thoughtful option — less plastic, concentrated powder, and biodegradable. Overall, this has been a positive switch for us.

This is an excellent product and is very effective at removing food residue and getting plates and pans to shine. As a biochemist, this is the cleanest dish detergent I was able to find on the market. I still rinse dishes out of the dishwasher once or twice before using just to ensure all residue is removed, but I would trust this with not rinsing long before any soap or dish soap used in handwashing. I had severe gut issues that started up a year or so ago and although I don’t think they were caused by my detergent at the time (standard store brand), they have started healing while using this, I can eat so so many more foods now — which is a good sign (easier to help break something than to fix it / play a role in reversing it). The product lasts for forever, I only had to get a refill recently [8-10 months after the first] which was a shock to me. The scoop that is included makes dosing a breeze, I only use 1 scoop per full dishwasher load. It dissolves within the first several minutes of turning the dishwasher on, I’ve never seen any undissolved material in the dishwasher and sometimes I’ll open it quite early in the cycle. There is no smell. Elderly / those with low hand dexterity may have trouble initially opening the container to get the little tin insert holding the scoop out, it is in there relatively tight — a butter knife wedged in between the insert and the container to help pry the insert out could help in this situation. I would highly (and have highly) recommended this product to people.

I've been very concerned about using dishwashing detergents that have harmful ingredients. I was looking for a "clean" one for a long time and tried various brands. 1. Dirty Labs cleans well - which was an important criteria for me. 2. It leaves no residue - I was frustrated when the other brands I tried left residue on plates, glasses and cutlery. This one doesn't. 3. It has no fragrance, which is what I wanted. Yet the dishes comes out without odor issues. 4. It doesn't come in plastic pods - another important criteria since I want less plastic in the environment, and also don't want microplastics as a result of dishwashing. I don't have to worry about microplastics with this detergent. 5. It comes with an easy to measure attractive wooden spoon and paper container that holds perfectly well.

I used Costco Kirland pods for dishes for a long time but I always wanted to try something less toxic. I am pretty impressed by this product. *GOOD* 1. I am able to control the amount I am dumping. I don't use the full spoon. I try to match the amount based on how full the racks are. Generally speaking, unless you have super dirty dishes, half spoon or less will be enough. 2. It's almost toxic-free. I am no chemist, but most if not 99% of the ingridents are not toxic to ingest alone Things to be aware: 1. You need to wipe or clean your plates/silvewares/cups before you load into the rack. Occasionally stain/food residues are found after full cycle. Unlike traditional detergrents, this product does not use harsh chemicals to dissolve residues, so don't expect your pasta to disappear. Do your best to wipe clean and maybe soak a little before dumping in. No matter how much detergent you put, again, lack of harsh chemicals means residues. You have to adjust your behavior. That's the whole point of switching to this type of product 2. This product does not have rinse agents so even in double dry mode (hello borsh users), you need to dump a bit rinse agents. Obviously if you switch to this product, you don't want the agents with harsh chemicals. So expect some water pool from time to time and get a dry clean rag ready when you are done with the cycle. 48 loads is generous if you watch your usage. I am already well beyond 48 loads and I still have 30% left in the package. Again, even at full load if the dishes are mostly wiped clean, you can just use 2/3 of the spoon and should be enough....
