Dirty Labs | Dishwasher Detergent & Booster | Scent Free | 48 Loads (1 lb)

I bought this product because I'm trying to get away from dishwasher products that left a weird smell and white residue which freaked me out. So far, this product has done really well. All our dishes have come out clean, without water spots or any white residue. It's easy enough to figure out, one scoop in the tray. The measuring spoon is easy to use and no spills so far. We've had a couple of cooking utensils come out with a little food left on, but the package says to use two scoops for heavier/stuck-on messes, and in both cases I had only used one scoop. The other thing is I absolutely love the smell. It's light and fresh, almost reminds me of a baby scent. Not overpowering at all. As far as quantity goes, it won't last as long as my costco dishwashing pods lasted for the price, but I do feel much better using a product that is better is so many ways. I plan to repurchase once we're finished with this container.

Wow! Something natural, that cleans great, that smells nice and is safe for stainless steel dishwashers! I can finally go back to a scented detergent! I used GG (Grab Green) for years. In a high temp wash...it worked fine for some time. Lately, it's been leaving spots. Maybe it's my water??? We are careful never to load dishes with food on it, so we only used half a scoop as directed. The primary issue I have with GG is that the only one that doesn't dull the stainless tub was their unscented one. And, I for one, missed the fresh scent that made me feel my dishes are truly clean at the end of the cycle. I've been reading reviews on and off for months looking for a new natural detergent. I came across this one during Prime days recently. Taking a chance on the reviews here, I ordered it. I've now been using it for a couple of weeks and I'm happy that I took that chance! This one smells SOOO darned fresh and leaves my dishes clean...with no spots and leaves my stainless tub shiny. The ONLY downside for me is that it's a little costly. I hope they consider lowering the price some. You can wash up to 80 loads with Grab Green for the same price...this one only does 48 loads. Hopefully, I won't have to start looking for another one again. Well, here we are almost 2 years later and I'm STILL a fan! Due to the price, I kept looking and trying other natural dishwasher detergents since my first review of DL. They couldn't be compared. Some even contained Ethoxylate...so that's a hard pass. That stuff is bad for the lining of your gut! In the end, just I kept coming back to Dirty Labs! I learned that I don't have to use vinegar in my rinse aid compartment with Dirty Labs...that's how well it does in my dishwasher. Glassware is always sparkling clean! I just do it, (when I remember), for plastic containers to help with spots from hard water. To reduce the cost by a couple of dollars, I subscribed and get one on my doorstep every 2 months. Dirty Labs has surpassed my expectations in every way. Therefore, I've concluded that it's worth the money for my piece of mind.

I get consistently great results from the scent free version! Even with slightly hard water from my well my dishes come out clean and with minimal spotting. The size and texture of the mix seems to dissolve well since I don’t get leftover crumbles or build up in my dishwasher. I also appreciate that the container is tough enough to survive getting bumped around under my sink without spilling or leaking. The wooden measuring spoon is cute and I save them for various craft projects. The 1 lb size lasts for about 4 months in a household that runs the dishwasher approximately 4-5x per week so it is a good value. Really love that there is a scent free version that doesn’t make the kitchen smell during the wash cycle.

I used to use dishwasher pods but felt like my dishes were left with some residue and also always had a smell to them. Once I switched to Dirty Labs, the funky smell was gone, dishes are always clean and my dishwasher cleans better. The filter at the base is barely ever gunked up. Though this is pricer then most detergents it is worth it.

As a lover of the OG Dirty Labs scent for laundry detergent and how great it cleans, I thought give this a shot for dishes. I will say that initially it cleaned well but then a few cycles didn’t clean as well. However I did appreciate my dishes didn’t have like a soapy smell or taste from harsh chemicals in normal detergents for dishes. I found I had to put a half scoop of this powder in my pre wash compartment, the. A full scoop in my detergent spot. That prewash addition made a HUGE difference and have no issues whatsoever

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.

ZERO STAR REVIEW. This product was recommended as a “healthier” all natural detergent. I have gluten issues and a sensitive stomach. It got me researching how the chemicals in detergents can enter the body and disrupt the GI system. (Not here to sway anyone on this topic, this was just my journey). Dirty labs fit the bill right down to working well in hard water (which I have). I purchased this product twice now. I finished the first container and absolutely adored the results it gave me. In my mind it was definitely a 5 star review. Great results and no negatives. Since I was so happy with it I repurchased when I saw it on sale during Amazon days. No brainer, right? WRONG. THIS PRODUCT NEEDS BETTER QUALITY CONTROL. The new container gives vastly different results. I have white residue streaking all of my silverware, glasses, bowls….its everywhere. It became noticeable after the third use. I continued using the product for several washes and It gets worse with each use. The powder on everything is visible on fingers when you touch it and the streaks DO NOT COME OFF no matter how much I soak and scrub it. Most of my silverware is ruined. It’s now pitting/spotting, but that’s the least of my concerns. My pets bowls were washed in this. Being white, you can’t see the signs. But both of my Siberian Forest cats became severely sick two weeks ago. They stopped eating for almost a week, requiring professional attention to stop their vomiting and deal with the resulting electrolyte imbalances. Thankfully they are recovering now. I purchased new slow feeder bowls for them since they will not go near their old bowls. Smart cats. My decision to use this product impacted the health of my fur babies for which I will always carry guilt. It was purely luck I was not affected. I have been using the leftover paper plates so none of my good plates were used/washed with the second container and I did not consume it like my cats did. It is not often I write a harsh or extremely negative review for a product. I try to analyze the good and the bad. But when the health of a pet is jeopardized by a product, it needs to be shared. (For reference, my cats are a large breed: weighing in at 17lb and 14lb). Clearly the quality control is not what it needs to be with this product. One batch is perfect and the next is horrible. I do not trust this brand and will no longer use any of their products. I tossed all of their products in the trash before writing this.

Love it! It cleans immaculately, smells fresh, does not leave stains on wine glasses, contains healthy ingredients, and is packed in bio degradable box.

Good dishwasher detergent, smells really nice, had to make sure it was on full cycle and not half if I want to do a full scoop because the scent is a bit strong on half cycles. Works great, makes my dishes nice and clean

Delighted with this dishwasherpowder. Expensive but I believe worth it. A gorgeous smell too.

This is so much better than pods

Good product. I like being able to choose the amount to use.

Excellent product, with great smell and cleaning performance. My dishwasher can't cope with tablets or gel packs, as it leaves them behind part-undissolved. It's now almost impossible to find dishwasher detergent in liquid or powder form in UK supermarkets, so this was an ideal solution.
