Recommendation for Automatic Dishwashing Detergent

[cheriede]

I have made the switch over to a "greener" dishwasher detergent, but I haven't been too happy with the results. I tried the homemade version--borax and washing soda and now I'm on to Bio-Kleen. The Bio-Kleen seems to be a little better at cleaning my dishes, but it doesn't always do the job. I will look to switch to another brand the next time. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks!

I don't have a dishwasher but I have heard good things about the 7th Generation dishwasher detergent

Hope that helps

I was just going to post this same question!!! I'm moving in 2 weeks, and will own my very first dishwasher!!!

Thanks for the recommendation for 7th Generation. I think I will try it next. I just order Ecover laundy detergent, so I may look at their dishwashing detergent if I seem to like the laundry detergent.

Mix equal parts - baking soda and borax.

I mixed equal parts washing soda and borax, but I mentioned in my first post that I wasn't impressed with the results. Would equal parts baking soda and borax be better mix??

I really don't know. I don't know what washing soda is. I did however miss that part of your thread. I just read through it quickly.

Thanks! I may just give the baking soda and borax a shot to see if I yield better results. God knows I have enough baking in the house

I've heard good things about Method brand, but I haven't tried it myself. HTH
