Grab Green Automatic Dishwashing Detergent Pods, 60 Count, Fragrance Free, Plant and Mineral Based, Superior Cleaning, Powerful Grease Removal, Brilliant Shine[Amazon-developed Certification] Compact by Design

I'll start by saying that I have been using cascade for over 15 years. I must have tried over 12 other brands to try to either save money or use a less chemical brand. None had worked nearly as well and some not at all. About 2 years ago I became really sensative to smells and I started making my body wash, shampoo, hand soap, laundry and all my cleaning supplies fragrance free. And let me tell u it has not been easy. I can smell even the slightest smells that other people can't. Needless to say I have found a brand for all of the aforementioned products but it took a long time. The last product I need was a dishwasher detergent. I tried only one other brand because they are hardly ever in the supermarket. That brand was awful. So what I started doing is putting my powerful whirlpool air purifier on in front of the dishwasher when I ran it. Needless to say it really didn't work well and it was making me dread running the dishwasher.So I went on amazon and did a search and I found a few brands. This one and another one were tied in the rating. So I literally just picked this one to try first. I am so glad that I did! I tried it twice already and it cleaned my dishes as good as cascade and without the stink! No more air purifier needed. I used to have to rise all my dishes to get the stink off not to mention all the chemicals. And I love the little drop in instead of the gel and powder. Plus it looks like it hardly uses any chemical most enzymes to breakdown the food. Amazing! I love it, it's perfect! I don't need to try any other brands.Even with my super smell I can only smell the slightest bit of soap if I open the dishwasher right after. But if I let it sit for an hour or 10 hours, I almost couldn't tell if I even ran the dishwasher because there is no smell lol. I only could tell because all the dishes and cutlery were very clean. This is really a perfect product, so I had to write a review.

The best dishwasher pods I ever purchased. Dishes are clean and dishwasher smells nice and fresh.Great product, will definitely buy again, thank you

I have tried others and sadly for a while went back to the bad name brand one with -YIKES- BLEACH! Ugh! But then I found the reviews for this product and it comes in PODS! YAY! YES, some of the pods are empty because the casing for each pod is very fragile. It has to be in order to dissolve in your water and do what it's supposed to do, peeps! :-) When all the intact pods (which is most of the container and I bought the BIG one) are all gone I'll use the remaining powder the old fashioned way. <insert sarcasm> OH MAN! THAT IS GONNA BE SOOOO HARD! ;-) I saw the reviews that many people's product came severely damaged and Amazon must have taken note of that too because my shipment came bubble wrapped as if it were fine china. It was actually quite funny but I understood why because I had read the reviews. Anyway, back to the product. So far about a dozen washes and have found no powder residue at all and very sparkly dishes! I'm very , very pleased with this product and feel really good that there is no longer any bleach residue on my clean dishes. Oh and I have a mediocre dishwasher (new but CHEAP) and I do not notice any lingering smell on my dishes.Update: September 2016 I still absolutely LOVE these little dishwashing pods by Grab Green! They are superb to any other I have ever used green or otherwise, including Casc*d* and any of the other mainstream ones. The pods recently got EVEN BETTER!! They are now using something different to house the detergent (ie the outer shell). It is shaped better for fitting in the dispenser better and they dissolve as well or the same. I've never had any trouble with mine dissolving except the last batch that was exposed to some moisture (my fault) and when they dried they hardened to cause them not to dissolve well but they still cleaned my dishes amazingly well. I was going to throw this dishwasher out to the curb (brand new and all) before this brand!! The only thing about this newer version is the packaging. Although it is more convenient the velcro seal doesn't stay sealed well unless you're very, very careful and when you've got kids that doesn't happen, let's face it. So...I use a very strong clip and roll it down to make sure they seal well and don't get damp. This is important in FL. It works great and I'm a very happy homemaker!

I've been using the Cascade dishwashing pods for awhile now and decided to try an environmentally friendly product. I am so far very pleased with this product. My Cascade pods left my dishes very clean, but they also left a noticeable "filmy" feeling on the dishes afterward. I haven't noticed the same issue with the Grabgreen pods.I do have some white melamine dishes that I often have to run through twice, but I had the same issue with my Cascade pods. I think those dishes just show stains easily. I'd like it if I could find a dishwashing detergent that got rid of those stains the first time around, but I'm guessing the dishes are the problem, not the detergent.I ordered the thyme and fig leaf pods, and the smell is very nice. I was standing in front of my dishwasher yesterday while it was running, and I could smell the pod. It wasn't overwhelming, though--just pleasant.One drawback, which is why I am giving this product four stars: The pods' shape are not as consistent as Cascade (which is the only other pod I have used). Some of them bulge a little more awkwardly than others, which makes it hard to close the detergent trapdoor, and in trying to get the pod to fit, I have caused it to burst before. I didn't think I was applying that much pressure, either. I still use the pod when this happens (I presume I can?) but I never had a Cascade pod burst before.Overall, I'd say that if you're trying to go green, you should feel comfortable making the switch from your regular brand pod to the Grabgreen pods.
