Product Review: Great Stuff!
Summary: 5 Stars
I live in the desert where our water is very alkaline. I put one tablespoon of this stuff in my dishwasher and it cleans even the dirtiest pot.Product Review: I was surprised how well this worked! Now it's my favorite.
Summary: 5 Stars
I use mostly earth friendly cleaning products in the house, and I was glad to stumble across this product. Not only is it less expensive that regular dishwasher cleaners, it works just as well if not better than them.
The packaging seemed incredibly small, about the size of a 7-11 Big Gulp cup, so I quickly poured a canister into an empty cup and brought out my Cuisinart measuring tablespoon and found that there were in fact 59 loads worth of powder (at 1 tablespoon per load), although the tared weight on the powder did exceed 2 lbs by a couple of ounces. That is not really a big deal to me, and if you're using a flatware tablespoon you'll probably get a bit more than 64 loads out of the canister.
I purposely left a dinner plate overnight with dried on cheese and a knife with peanut butter residue on it so I could test the effectiveness of this product. When they were loaded into the dishwasher with a full load this powder managed to clean the dishes spotless without using any added heat or prewashing like I normally would with a standard cleaner.
I have so far washed a few loads with this powder and every dish has come out clean except for one bowl still had one spot of dried on chili.
The canister says that if you have hard water you will need 2 tablespoons, and 1 tablespoon for soft water, and I imagine you could adjust those to get it to work just perfect for you.
Best of all, this product is Made in the USA, and it's not tested on animals and it has no animal ingredients. The plastic canister can be recycled when you are done, and it claims to have no negative effects on rivers, streams, plants, or wildlife. It has no artificial fragrance, colors, or preservatives, and it's biodegradable and Ozone safe. The Grapefruit seed and Orange Peel extracts in this product are pleasant and not overwhelming to me at all.
The only thing I would recommend to Biokleen is that they sell a cleaning products package consisting of a 2 month supply of this product along with laundry detergent, general purpose cleaner, and window cleaner, plus any other best-selling cleaners they have. Most people do not want to order a 2 year supply of this at a time, and I have to admit that is what prevented me from ordering this sooner. I wrote to them a couple of months ago suggesting this, but I have yet to see this offered at Amazon.
Product Review: Just okay...
Summary: 3 Stars
This dishwasher detergent is okay. I've been trying to start using more environmentally friendly products, so I tried this out. I'm the type who likes to test the limits of my dishwasher, so I often put stuff in there that has caked on food, like egg yolks and dried almond butter on the butter knives. This detergent doesn't do the trick with these things. It was also leaving small rust stains on my silverware, which I've never encountered with Electrasol All-in-1's (which is the only thing I use). I suppose if I wanted to take the time to rinse and wipe my dishes before loading them into the dishwasher, then this would be a good product. But, what's the point of that! The dishwasher is supposed to wash the dishes! So, I guess I really just test the limits of the detergent I use and Electrasol wins for me!
BUT - instead of wasting the can of this, I went to refill my sprinkly can of baking soda I use to clean the sinks and tubs in my bathrooms and thought, "What the heck! It's mild enough to use on dishes, so why not try it out as a bathroom cleaner!" So, I mixed up half of this dishwashing detergent with half baking soda and used it to clean. It did a great job! It scrubbed up my sinks and tubs with no scratches and it made them shine really nicely. The day after I cleaned my girlfriend was over and asked me what I used to clean the tub because it was so shiny and clean. I told her what I'd used and send some home with her! I might actually keep buying it to use for a "Comet" or "Ajax" type of cleaner.
Product Review: Perfect Results!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been searching for a high quality eco-friendly dishwasher detergent product for over a year and have finally found it! It washed my dishes and left them spotless and scentless. My child is extremely sensitive to perfumes and scents and this product did not bother her at all. In the past her eyes would become red and swollen when I used other detergents. I am so happy that Amazon carries this product and that others were willing to give explicit reviews. I was extremely nervous about ordering this product initially because of the output of so much money on 12 bottles for a product I had never tried before. Because of the honest reviews, I ordered it via the subscription plan and am EXTREMELY satisified with this product. It is a GREAT price on each bottle considering that it will wash at least 60 loads when using 1 Tablespoon per load. I have soft water and use 1/2 tablespoon for each dispenser cup.Product Review: Pretty good dish detergent - my present choice
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought a case of 12. I started out using just one scoop. The glasses didn't look too good and my lip gloss prints were still seen. I used 1 1/2 scoops (the half is in the 2nd wash thingy). Now I used 2 full scoops and I use the Heavy soil cycle and the dishes/glasses came out very nice. I don't know if it's economic compared to Cascade but it seems to be better for the environment and the scent is to my liking so I'm pretty happy with this product.
