Organic dishwasher detergent?

Be Still and know He’s God asked:
K, I could never figure out why our dishwasher did a junky job cleaning dishes. I have been buying organic dishwasher detergent for years. Well, I decided just once to buy non-organic. Cascade actually. 1/2 the price, and twice as big! Anyways, it TOTALLY washes my dishes. Works SOOOO well. Problem is, it smells like a chemical bomb when it’s washing them, and when I take out the dishes they smell like that too, especially all my daughters plastic cups. I have to decide between 1) really clean dishes that may be harmful to our health or 2) not clean dishes that cost a heck uva lot more.

Anyone out there find any organic products that work, or perhaps non-organic that is maybe not so chemically bad?

I use Cascade but never found that odor you are talking about. If you want organic products look on line and do a search of “organic cleaning products for the home” and you will find a multitude of websites that sell organic cleaning products for the home.

I would hand wash all plastic, wont matter what you use, it will smell, there all much the same, Do not use Joy dish soap for hand washing , It all so leaves a smell on the dishes, Best by far is Sunlight dish soap, and it s mild on your hands, I wont have a dish washer in the house, I only use a dish pan and hot water and sunlight dish soap and dishes are clean and done in no time .

I like the “Everyday Living” brand that I get at Kroger. This is not an organic brand, but it is very inexpensive and doen’t have as strong an odor as cascade. However, if you can afford a good organic brand that would probably be the best for your health.

I’ve been using Seventh Generation for a while now, and dishes still get clean, and don’t have that chemical odor. I use ALL Seventh Generation cleaning products throughout my house.
