Ecover Dishwasher Tablets

I have yet to find an Ecover product that I don’t love, but their Dishwasher Tablets went above and beyond my expectations.

I’ve tried several other natural dishwasher detergents before, but I always ended up reluctantly switching back to one of the big name detergents when my dishes just didn’t get cleaned well.  Ecover Dishwasher Detergent cleaned my dishes, and made my glasses sparkle.  I love the faint citrus scent that fills the kitchen while the dishwasher is running.  And I love that it’s completely biodegradable.

Ecover Dishwasher Detergent is not tested on animals and is approved by the Vegan Society.   The box is made from 95% recycled paper and the tablet wrappers are made from recyclable plastic.  In my local grocery store, Ecover Dishwasher Tablets are actually less expensive than the chemical laden name brand detergent I used to use.  I won’t be switching back to my old detergent.

  1. Great tip! My husband and I have had the same problem finding an environmentally safe dishwashing detergent that actually cleans. We’ll be trying this!

  5. Try running your dishwasher empty with some white vinegar every once in awhile. It’ll clear things up and you shouldn’t have any problems with Ecover tablets after that.

    (Make sure not to ever mix vinegar and bleach, because the fumes are toxic).
