Have you ever wondered just what your sending down the drain when you squeeze the dishwasher detergent into the machine? Turns out there’s a lot of chlorine and phosphates in regular dishwasher powder and dishwasher gel. Both are nasty pollutants, and they’re released into our environment by millions of American households every day. I found this chlorine-free and phosphate-free automatic dishwasher detergent at Seventh Generation. In addition to no chlorine and phosphates, Seventh Generation automatic dishwasher soap is non-toxic, dye-free, contains no NTA or EDTA, is Kosher-certified and is not tested on animals. The full ingredient list of this environmentally friendly detergent is available at Seventh Generation’s website.
