For the past year, I have lived somewhere without a dishwasher, so finding non toxic dishwasher detergents wasn’t even in the picture. But, as we are about to make a big move, my hubby and I decided that a dishwasher is a definite non negotiable. How we survived our final year of our bachelor’s degrees, while raising a toddler, and finding time to wash all those dishes by hand is a mystery to me.
As I prepare for this major upgrade to my cleaning routine, I want to ensure that the products I’m using within it are going to get the job done without sacrificing quality. There are obviously some expensive non toxic dishwasher detergents on the market, but if you do some digging, you can find some really good products that are comparable to the price of top names in the major dishwashing brands.
Trying to sift through every company’s ingredient lists and finding non toxic dishwasher detergents that fits the budget can be a daunting task. Luckily, I’ve compiled a list of some of the best out there for you to try. I’m sure you will find one that not only fits the budget, but helps you take one more step towards a healthier and simpler life.
Without further ado, here are a few of my top picks for non toxic dishwasher detergent swaps.
Molly’s Suds
Molly’s is always a safe choice when it comes to household products. Here are a few reasons I like Molly’s Suds:
- They are free from Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) and SLS
- Free from Parabans, Phosphates, and Pthalates.
- Love that they are free from artificial dyes and synthetic fragrances.
Clean People
Quick tip, if you buy a bigger pack, you save significantly more on price per pod. A few other things I love about Clean People:
- Free from Parabans, Phosphates, and Pthalates.
- No Dyes
- Septic Tank Safe
- Vegan and Cruelty Free
- Uses Natural Fragrances (if using a pod with scent)
ECOS
If you don’t like dishwasher tablets, this would be a great alternative, and it’s much cheaper per unit. Here are a more reasons why ECOS is a great brand:
- Paraban and Phosphate free
- “No Nasties” commitment. They don’t use anything of the 500+ banned list
- Climate positive product
- It uses plant derived, eco friendly products
