Nellie's Dishwasher Powder - 50 Load - Plant-Based Dishwasher Detergent - Septic Safe, Fragrance-Free - Easily Penetrates Grease & Food Particles - Phosphate-Free - (Made in Canada)

This container lasted us 9 months for a family of 7 who cook often. The biggest thing I've noticed since switching over from the plasticy colored pouches is that there is no residue on the dishes once they have finished their cycle. The dishes always come out clean and there is no funky smell or smudge on the dishes. They are just wonderfully clean. This gives me peace of mind knowing that my family is not ingesting chemicals and plastics from the other dishwasher detergents.

This is a great non-toxic dishwashing powder. It cleans really well, doesn’t leave residue, and my dishes come out truly clean. Most importantly, the water in glasses doesn’t smell or taste like chemicals. I’ve tried making my own DIY dishwasher powder with little success—mostly cloudy glasses and inconsistent results. This works reliably and gives clear glasses every time. If you’re looking for an effective, non-toxic dishwasher detergent that actually performs, this is a solid choice.

I love this stuff. It's not the cheapest but I'm on my third bag & it's the best dishwasher soap I've used in 30 years. About 1 tablespoon (via enclosed measuring spoon) gets off all food, leaves the inside of the dishwasher clean, and leaves no water-spot or crusty-powder residue behind. And I'm happy knowing it's not adding unneeded chemicals to my septic system.

This dishwasher powder does not have the strong smell as other dishwasher powders. It works well and leaves less residue than other brands, but I still find some residue on certain dishes. The tin that it comes in looks great, but it is a bit hard for me to open. I have arthritic hands though, so maybe it's not a problem for others. That's the reason I took away one star. I will continue to use it, unless I find something better. It is definitely better that products with heavy scents that bother my sinuses.

This powder did not clean my dishes. My dishes smelled horrible and had a film all over them when I took them out of the dishwasher and I had to wash them all over by hand. I want to be friendly to the environment but it is a question of sanitary vs unsanitary and I have to go with the health of my family. Its a shame. Anyone else have this problem?

I absolutely love this product, and I don’t think I can ever go back to anything else. Cuts grease and leaves dishes sparkling clean!

I only used it once, but my dishes came out clean. It's a great value for the money. I will use it from now on.

Love this! I wanted a low tox alternative to dishwasher pods. I use the laundry products they make, so I thought I would give this a shot. The tin is so cute. I’m a sucker for appealing packaging as a side note. I am really impressed! I have hard water so I do need a rinse aid for pure sparkle. But no biggie, that’s easy and happens with any dishwasher products I have used over decades and my choice on that is Lemme Shine. I rarely write a review but this really is a great product and it feels good knowing I’m doing something that is better for my family and the environment. The tin lasts a very long time, I haven’t kept exact track but way longer than what it says on the can. Last point, we tried blueland but the pods never fully dissolved and my dishwasher tech said powder was the best way to go.
