Dishwasher Powder

I gave the filter a good cleaning out and it worked brilliantly.
When I first used this the pots didn't come out clean and I had to re-clean them. I went back to my usual well known product but that was also leaving some pots in some areas of the dishwasher with bits ( some blue) in them. I noticed that the tablet had a blue plastic wrapper and realised this wasn't dissolving properly in the wash and when I cleaned the filter there were lots trapped in it. I gave the filter a good clean in some greenscents washing up liquid and after re-insertion used the greenscents dishwasher powder as directed and hey presto! it worked. I've re-checked my filter and now there are no 'blue bits' clogging it up. Will be re-ordering some new product and will use this from now on.

I now use organic white vinegar instead of rinse aid with the dish powder, does the job and no chemicals.

When I read about how bad for our health the chemicals in dishwasher powder/tablets were, I switched to Ecover and have used it for years (I found it as good as Finish powerball with less of the chemical smell and overly shiny glasses and squeaky crockery and cutlery) but don’t like the excess packaging. Greenscents dishwasher powder is great - I’m so pleased to have found a product that has limited packaging and doesn’t release toxic chemicals into the environment. Thankyou for making a sustainable product that is nearly guilt free!! I can chuck all the dirties in the dishwasher and enjoy unstacking the clean ones, safe in the knowledge I’m not poisoning our water with chemicals that don’t break down.

I have mixed opinions on this. We are a full on cook from scratch family and love cooking. If the pots aren’t too dirty they do come clean. I do remove and food off. But if there’s a dish with say burnt on, it definitely won’t bring clean. I put vinegar in the rinse aid compartment and went back into to the kitchen half an hour later to find water and suds coming out the bottom. I opened the door and it was like a jacuzzi inside.. I had put apple cider vinegar in, obviously not compatible. I love the idea of non toxic, non chemical but it’s not consistent in cleaning.

As reviews seemed mixed I wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm delighted with this product. We have medium water and all my items came out just as clean the branded pods I'd been using, but without the horrible chemical residue and genuinely only need a teaspoon of powder. Eco friendly packaging too. Will 100% be buying again!
