As far as appliances go, I don’t give my dishwasher much thought. And I don’t think too deeply about the detergent I pour into it. But I should have.
My previous eco-friendly dishwasher detergent always left unsightly spots and streaks on my utensils and dishware. And far too often I found food particles clinging to what should have been clean plates and bowls. But I gave my former brand a pass, thinking, well, at least it’s ecologically green.
I know better since discovering Dropps. This USDA-certified, biobased dishwasher detergent is powerful stuff. It leaves my utensils more spot free and clean than ever, and my dishes have a sheen I haven’t seen since they were new.
Almost all the ingredients that Dropps use are plant or mineral in origin, and their UltraWash Plus enzyme formulation is tough enough to clean food that’s been stuck on for 24 hours!
I put this claim to the test recently by leaving unrinsed bowls of chili out overnight. The next morning, I ran them in a dishwasher cycle with a Dropps pod. To my amazement, they came out sparkling clean and residue free. My previous brand failed miserably at these tasks, even though I thoroughly rinsed every dish, glass, and utensil before loading in the dishwasher. With Dropps I’m not only saving time; I’m also saving water.
Dropps is a Certified B Corporation that’s been around for over 30 years developing products made from renewable, bio-derived ingredients. Their detergents are free of chlorine, phosphates, dyes, and phthalates. Their products are septic safe and never tested on animals.
Dropps comes in an unscented or lemon citrus scent in either UltraWash Plus or UltraWash. I’ve been using unscented UltraWash Plus.
The difference between the two is UltraWash Plus includes a rinse aid, stain and starch removers, and the capacity to clean 24-hour stuck-on food. With all this dishwashing ability, I won’t be giving my detergent another thought. And now I don’t have to!
A 64-count (64 pods) of UltraWash Plus retails for $30 for a one-time purchase. Subscription prices are also available at a reduced rate.
