Customer Reviews of GrabGreen Automatic Dishwashing Detergent, Thyme with Fig Leaf, 24 Loads, 15.2-Ounce
Customer Review: Impressed!
Summary: 5 Stars
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! :)
