Best Natural Dishwasher Detergent of 2026

"I'm quite fond of this product. I usually use the Seventh Generation Zero Plastic, which I adore, but it's often unavailable. I tried this one and was pleased with it. It's challenging to find dishwasher detergent without a fragrance. Like others, I wish the tablets didn't come in plastic. If not for the plastic, I would rate it five stars! Otherwise, it performs excellently."

"I'm not a fan of dishwasher tablets with a strong scent that leaves a chemical smell after washing. That's why I decided to try these tablets, which are advertised as plant-based and without a strong odor. Honestly, I didn't have high expectations for this product, but it exceeded them! There's no overpowering smell and it cleans utensils thoroughly without leaving any residue. The only downside, as others have pointed out, is the individual plastic wraps. If they could transition to paper-based wraps, it would be even better. Overall, it's a fantastic and safe product!"

"We've used an entire set of these dishwasher tablets. They leave the dishes clean and streak-free. We pre-rinse our dishes before loading them into the dishwasher. We also have hard water. We just ordered refills without the canister, so no additional plastic ends up in the waste stream. That's a win for the environment!"

"I bought this product to avoid microplastics and it's absolutely perfect for that. However, I have to deduct a star because it contains an abrasive ingredient (hydrated silica). This caused my decade-old Corelle dishes to start chipping at the edges. Apparently, this can happen when using an abrasive detergent."

"I didn't like my previous liquid dishwasher soap as it would leave a scent on my plastic containers, affecting the taste of my reheated food. These tablets don't leave any scent at all. However, I was slightly disappointed to see a bit of white crumbly residue on my glass cups. It's not a big issue as I prefer that to the taste of detergent. Despite the residue, I'd purchase these again."

"I purchased these for a more natural alternative in terms of ingredients. They clean my dishes effectively - the only difference I noticed compared to the popular name-brand is that these tend to leave some water spots (which is the only reason I didn't give a 5-star rating). However, I'm pleased with them and consider water spots a minor issue. I will buy them again."

"I was in search of an eco-friendly dishwasher detergent that actually delivers and these are a hit! I simply drop the entire tablet, wrapper and all, into the bottom of my dishwasher instead of placing it in the door compartment. My dishes come out looking great! I appreciate that there's no plastic packaging. The only downside is that they're somewhat pricey, so I deducted a star for the cost. It would be wonderful if it were more affordable to make eco-friendly choices!"

"As I replace more heavily scented household cleaning products, I've become more sensitive to the odors they leave behind. I was taken aback when the scent of the leading brand dishwasher detergent became overwhelming. I discovered Beyond and decided to try it. It cleans pots, pans, silverware, and glassware effectively... and there's no lingering scent permeating my house."
