I have used these tablets for the past year or so and I am very happy with their cleaning performance. The really hard, caked-on stuff doesn't come off completely sometimes but I don't know how well any of the not-so-eco competition would perform, so I'm willing to do a little scrubbing now and then to get the environmental benefits. I have to say that the price for five boxes here on Amazon ($69.99 as of this review) is highway robbery. You can get five boxes from HerbTrader for around forty dollars! Amazon usually has competitive prices, but not in this case.Get more detail about Ecover Automatic Dishwashing Tablets, 18-Ounce Box (Pack of 5).
This is the best dishwashing liquid I've ever used! My glasses get so shiney, I cannot believe it. That proves to me that it leaves no soap residue behind.
Remember it's not the suds that count. I does make suds but they don't last the longest. The dishes get super clean so there are no worries.
I let them soak (if needed)for about 15 minutes and then it's super easy washing.
It's also not harsh on your skin which I appreciate!!

By far, the best dishwashing foam hand soap for my family. We don't use the washing dish machine so, this is very effective. Plus it is gentle on skin. I'm wondering why amazon did not offer the refill up to date. This is something they need to look into.Get more detail about Dawn Direct Dishwashing Foam Hand Soap, Fresh Rapids, 10.1-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 12).
After trying many "eco-friendly" products, especially dish liquids, I was becoming very disappointed. I was so chemically sensitive, I would often feel bad for the rest of the day if I spent much time in contact. The skin does absorb the chemical ingredients. I eventually figured out that the SLS or SLES(anything with lauryl or laureth or similar terms) were the ingredients that were making me spacy and fatigued. And they are right in there in many of the so-called healthy alternative detergents!
One company, Seventh Generation, uses flowery, eco-obfuscating language; they never tell you that their product actually contains sodium laureth sulfate (similar in structure to sulfuric acid), the cheapest of sudsing agents, which is found in almost all "mainstream" personal care items; dish detergent, body wash, shampoo, etc.
When I went to their website to complain, they replied that they use "a mix of functional descriptions and specific ingredients on...labels", to "allow us to refine formulas without the expense of having to reprint labels with each refinement". And just try to uncover from their website, what the actual ingredients are. I am admittedly not a computer genius (read brain fog), but it took an unreasonable amount of digging to uncover the ingredient list.
The point of my review here for Dishmate Liquid is, after I found it to be so body friendly that I could have prolonged contact without sensitivity symptoms, I decided to try it as a body wash (my skin was irritable no matter what I used to wash it). It was great! I no longer felt "bad" after taking a shower. It was only a matter of time before I tried it as a shampoo and, surprise, it doesn't hurt your eyes (as gentle as a baby shampoo), and my hair is beautiful!
I no longer buy any soaps, body washes or shampoo. I add a few drops of essential oil to diluted Ultra Dishmate as a hand and body wash. I have recommended (and gifted) this liquid to anyone I know with allergy, chemical sensitivity, or skin problems.
The best part of this is, since I have minimized contact with major sources of irritation, the entire chemical sensitivity problem has become much less prominent in my life. This Dishmate Liquid has actually improved my life! Try this. It may be a change for you too!
p.s. It works just great on greasy dishes, pots and pans, too.

I felt that its a good earth friendly product and hence I bought a carton-full. I still prefer Ecover.
