Phosphates are what had me originally search for green alternatives. I wanted to say no to detergents that would foster the overgrowth of foul-smelling algae from choking lakes and rivers. I could not find a phosphate free or chlorine free automatic dish powder anywhere.
The automatic dishwasher powder I use now has absolutely no chlorine.
One container of our product equals 2 – 1/2 boxes of Cascade! Wow!!
AND it was the only thing on the market at the time that I could use in my dishwasher that was phospate free.
