Auto Dish Pods

**Update in the comments section (page 2).** To say I'm impressed, is an understatement! I LOVE THIS DISHWASHING DETERGENT!!! Before I tell you about it, let me just say I'd almost buy it for its lovely smell of essential oils. You really can smell it as the dishwasher is running and when you open up the door, you just want to stand there for a little while and take in the beautiful scents! I've showed my friends this detergent and they, too, love the scent! They will stand there sniffing the bag and taking in the scents! I know, we're weird. I wish my whole house smelled like this all the time. As for my review, I was very skeptical it would clean when I saw the ingredients, because a couple of the ingredients are the same as BioKleen Automatic Dish Powder, Free And Clear 32 oz (907 g) . Biokleen left a horrible residue on all my dishes. I used vinegar in the rinse and that helped a bit, but overtime, we found the white powder was actually still on the dishes. Sound yummy to you? In case you're wondering what the ingredients are, let me list them for you, since at the time of this writing, Amazon does not list them: Soda Ash (Natural mineral water softener) Sodium Metasilicate (Natural mineral aids cleaning) Non-ionic Ethoxylate (Biodegradable cleaner + degreaser blend) Sodium Sulfate (Mineral cleaning agent) Sodium Citrate(Mineral derived from citrus used to aid cleaning) Sodium Percarbonate (Made from natural soda ash, it uses oxygen to remove stains + adds alkalinity to assist cleaning) Silica (Mineral based anti-caking agent) Sodium Iminodisuccinate (Biodegradable water softener) Sodium Polyaspartate (Biodegradable mineral rinse aid) Organic enzyme blend (Breaks down protein + starch based stains) **Fragrance contains essentials oils: thyme + violet leaf + sage Soda ash, sodium percarbonate, and sodium citrate are the ingredients in Biokleen that I was skeptical about with these pods. However, I do notice that this product has a mineral rinse aid, which is likely the reason we never see the white residue on our dishes, like we did with Biokleen. After much research, I have a theory as to why this product works so well over Biokleen and other "natural" dishwashing detergents I've tried (i.e. Seventh Generation was absolutely the WORST I've ever tried). I believe I have semi-hard water. I have read numerous reviews and articles that suggest many natural dishwashing detergents are made for those with soft water. Thus, if you have soft water, almost any of them will work just fine for you. However, those of us with hard water need one that softens the water as it cleans. If you look at the ingredients of this product, you notice it has a biodegradable water softener, which is the key for those of us with hard water. I don't know if this is true, but it certainly seems to be the answer for my dishwashing problems! If you don't mind, I'd like to share with you my brief story of dishwashing detergents. :) A while back, I was a faithful Melaleuca customer for about five years. I enjoyed their products during those years until I began to do some research on their product ingredients and became unimpressed with their logo, "The Wellness Company". So much for "wellness". Plus, they would not list their product ingredients for several of their products, like their dishwashing detergent I loved, and that concerned me. There were a few other reasons why I finally decided to end my membership with the company, but I haven't really missed it since. Before I ended my membership, I did stock up on a few products to use up my "bonus" money I had earned with their program. (If you've ever been with Melaleuca, you know what I'm talking about.) I had the bonus money, might as well use it up. For some reason, I decided to stock up on dishwashing detergent. I stocked up well enough for a good year's worth of detergent. Just before it ran out, I began looking for other natural dishwashing detergents. I don't remember the names of the ones I had used early on, but after several months of undesirable results, I almost gave up on finding one. I never realized how well Melaleuca's dishwashing detergent cleaned until I had my experience with several "natural" detergents that just didn't do the same kind of job as Melaleuca's. To say I was discouraged, is an understatement, because I did not want to go back to something like Cascade. If Melaleuca taught me anything about dishwashing detergents, I learned that Cascade eats through aluminum foil! Mmmm, that sounds yummy to eat food on your dishes with now doesn't it? :) As I mentioned, I had tried Biokleen, which was okay, but the residue was a big problem. After that, I tried Seventh Generation and wow, that was the worst I had tried! Not only did it do a terrible job of cleaning, it CAKED on the food, and made it more difficult to get off your dishes. We had to scrub to get it off. Might as well wash your dishes by hand to begin with! At this point, I began to miss Melaleuca for its dishwashing detergent! And that's where I come back to THIS lovely product!!! Not only did this product clean my dishes better than Melaleuca did (which I was impressed with theirs), but it also got off the CAKED on food from Seventh Generation! Remember, we had to scrub it off to remove the caked on food it would leave behind, but GrabGreen got it completely off and shining again in just a few washes! It even impressed my husband! He was on the verge of enrolling himself back into Melaleuca, getting the detergent stocked up, and then discontinuing our membership again. :) He was just as frustrated as I was, but not with this product! We are both thrilled with it! All that to say, if you've been as frustrated as I've been in finding a good dishwashing detergent with natural ingredients, I believe that you will LOVE this product! Whether you have hard or soft water, it appears this one is great for both! If you love beautiful scents to fill your home, here's one to fill your dishwasher! Haha! You may find yourself standing at the dishwasher, just smelling the air, knowing those dishes are getting squeaky clean! :)

These Grab Green Automatic Dishwashing Detergent Pods are awesome! I love that they’re plant and mineral based and truly non-toxic, so I feel good using them around my family. They clean dishes really well, cut through grease, and leave everything with a fresh tangerine lemongrass scent. They dissolve easily, don’t leave residue, and give dishes a brilliant shine. Great choice if you want powerful cleaning without harsh chemicals!

I'll start by saying that I have been using cascade for over 15 years. I must have tried over 12 other brands to try to either save money or use a less chemical brand. None had worked nearly as well and some not at all. About 2 years ago I became really sensative to smells and I started making my body wash, shampoo, hand soap, laundry and all my cleaning supplies fragrance free. And let me tell u it has not been easy. I can smell even the slightest smells that other people can't. Needless to say I have found a brand for all of the aforementioned products but it took a long time. The last product I need was a dishwasher detergent. I tried only one other brand because they are hardly ever in the supermarket. That brand was awful. So what I started doing is putting my powerful whirlpool air purifier on in front of the dishwasher when I ran it. Needless to say it really didn't work well and it was making me dread running the dishwasher. So I went on amazon and did a search and I found a few brands. This one and another one were tied in the rating. So I literally just picked this one to try first. I am so glad that I did! I tried it twice already and it cleaned my dishes as good as cascade and without the stink! No more air purifier needed. I used to have to rise all my dishes to get the stink off not to mention all the chemicals. And I love the little drop in instead of the gel and powder. Plus it looks like it hardly uses any chemical most enzymes to breakdown the food. Amazing! I love it, it's perfect! I don't need to try any other brands. Even with my super smell I can only smell the slightest bit of soap if I open the dishwasher right after. But if I let it sit for an hour or 10 hours, I almost couldn't tell if I even ran the dishwasher because there is no smell lol. I only could tell because all the dishes and cutlery were very clean. This is really a perfect product, so I had to write a review.

I've been using the Cascade dishwashing pods for awhile now and decided to try an environmentally friendly product. I am so far very pleased with this product. My Cascade pods left my dishes very clean, but they also left a noticeable "filmy" feeling on the dishes afterward. I haven't noticed the same issue with the Grabgreen pods. I do have some white melamine dishes that I often have to run through twice, but I had the same issue with my Cascade pods. I think those dishes just show stains easily. I'd like it if I could find a dishwashing detergent that got rid of those stains the first time around, but I'm guessing the dishes are the problem, not the detergent. I ordered the thyme and fig leaf pods, and the smell is very nice. I was standing in front of my dishwasher yesterday while it was running, and I could smell the pod. It wasn't overwhelming, though--just pleasant. One drawback, which is why I am giving this product four stars: The pods' shape are not as consistent as Cascade (which is the only other pod I have used). Some of them bulge a little more awkwardly than others, which makes it hard to close the detergent trapdoor, and in trying to get the pod to fit, I have caused it to burst before. I didn't think I was applying that much pressure, either. I still use the pod when this happens (I presume I can?) but I never had a Cascade pod burst before. Overall, I'd say that if you're trying to go green, you should feel comfortable making the switch from your regular brand pod to the Grabgreen pods.

Este es el mejor detergente que he utilizado hasta el momento para mi lavavajillas. Es poco probable que deje manchas de comida. Con mi anterior detergente era desagradable el olor a huevo que terminaba en varios platos. EN cambio, los platos ya tienen un olor a fresco en el 95% de las veces. Espero que esté pronto de nuevo para volver a comprarlo!!!! No se pueden arrepentir de la compra. Mi esposa es muy estricta con el olor a los platos y este pasa la prueba sin problemas.

Product Review I recently switched to this detergent, and I couldn’t be more satisfied! From a quality standpoint, it is just as effective as other top detergents in removing grease and tough stains. However, what truly sets it apart is its natural formulation. Unlike many popular detergents that leave behind harmful chemical residues on dishes and utensils, this one ensures complete cleanliness without compromising the health of your family. Knowing that this detergent is safe and free from harsh chemicals gives me peace of mind, especially for long-term use. It’s a great choice for anyone looking to combine effectiveness with healthier, eco-friendly options. Highly recommended!

These work great. We'd been using the Seventh Generation gel in a new apartment and our dishes were really needing to be pre-washed before going through the dishwasher in order to actually get clean. I find that to be intolerable -- I'll just hand wash everything at that point. So we tried these based on the reviews and they work! The only time there has been anything left is when I threw in a dish that had been used for something starchy and then left for a few days, so that seemed reasonable. Will definitely be buying these regularly.

Excelente!!... limpia igual que el cascade platinum, huele súper rico, y claramente describe cada uno de los ingredientes que tiene (naturales todos). Espero que siempre lo tengan disponible porque no pienso volver a comprar cascade

Best natural dishwashing powder I have found so far. Not all the scents are nice but thats personal taste.
