Customer Reviews

Works well
I am trying to use eco friendly products. But they have to work just as well as normal products.

I first tried the Seventh Generation liquid gel detergent. That was unacceptable (left white film, didn't clean).

So I was surprised that this worked well. The only warning is that I think it tends to affect aluminum things (makes them darker). It disclaims this on the packaging. Otherwise it's perfect.

I used to use Electrasol tablets so these tablets are about the same size and perform similarly.

EDIT (Aug 2009):
I reviewed this years ago before the appalling price hike. I still use this but I buy it locally until Amazon sells it directly (eligible for free shipping) for the old price.

How GREAT are these?
I spent months looking for an ecologically friendly citrus-free detergent because I thought I wasn't supposed to use any citrus products on my silverware. Then I talked to the silverware company and learned that it was only lemon I was supposed to avoid. After checking the Ecover tablets box in our local store, I couldn't find any indication that there was lemon present, so I went for it despite the citrus.
I LOVE these things! I've never used dishwasher tabs before, and it's so easy to put them neatly into the dispenser! The individual packets the tabs come in are made of recyclable plastic.
And what's really great: our old detergent was leaving powder all over everything, especially our glasses. These tablets don't leave powder--and, even better, they get things really gloriously clean! I don't think my silverware has been so shiny and gorgeous since just after we got it! Needless to say, I am impressed.

VERY IMPRESSED
I began searching for an environmentally friendly dishwasher detergent a couple months ago. I tried Seventh Generation powder & it failed. I also tried and have been using Bi-o-kleen, until now. Bi-o-kleen worked great except for leaving residue on a couple peices of plastic. One plastic cup has stayed in the dishwasher since using bi-o-kleen (about 1 month) because it left a powdery residue on the bottom that wouldn't come off. I placed in front & back of top rack, front & back of bottom rack and it always left the powdery residue). After 1 use with Ecover tablets, the cup sparkled and has no residue anywhere. Ecover has a light fragrant scent, not chemical, and leaves the kitchen smelling great. I will use this from now on. I hope Amazon continues to keep in stock. At this great price, I'm stocking my cleaning closet! You will not be dissappointed with this!
