Automatic Dishwashre Detargent – Natural & Safe
Some residue from Automatic Dishwasher Detergent remain on dishes.
Most of the Automatic Dishwasher Detergent products which claim “safe and natural” contain harmful chemicals rated higher than 2 in EWG health risk scale: 1 as totally safe and 10 as the most dangerous. When I write “safe“, it means that the ingredient’s EWG risk scale is 1, the safest level.

iHerb seems to have the best price overall. They have sale throughout the year, and also they give you points for every order which can be applied for your next order.
I’ve been using Better Life Dishwasher Gel with vinegar on rinse cycle. I’ve been happy with the product. I’d like to try Mama Suds, but because of the high shipping cost, I haven’t tried it yet.
