Blueland Dishwasher Tablets Review 2023 | Zero Waste Dishwasher Tablets

Better, but not great. Given how much we liked Blueland's cleaning products, it is disappointing to report that we wish Blueland Dishwasher tablets worked better. Even though they are zero-waste dishwashing tablets with no chemicals or strong smell, they are too pricey to not work as well as other options. However, given the update regarding PVA in other brands, we believe that it might be worth revisiting Blueland dishwasher tabs. We had previously rated them a NOT buy given the product did not dissolve and was on the pricey side. Since then, other brands prices have increased faster than Blueland’s. Most importantly, Blueland is a PVA-free, convenient tablet option.

The Big Zero Waste Dishwasher Review 2023 | Dishwasher Pods, Tablets, and Powder

This was tough because there are so many good brands minimizing harmful ingredients, emissions, and plastic: Ecover, Dropps, and Thrive Market dishwasher powder were some of our best picks. Based on ingredients that were phosphate free, fragrance-free (optional), hypoallergenic, and chlorine-free. Dirty Labs is great runners up given their limited ingredients and super concentrated powder but it is on the pricy side.

Beyond Auto Dish Tabs Review 2023 | Zero-Waste Dishwasher tabs

MIXED buy from us. From the makers of Beyond Laundry Sheets, Beyond Auto Dish Tabs, if buying the 8-pack, is a reasonable option that competes with Dropps when it comes to cost. Being available on Amazon makes it easy for those that have Prime and do not necessarily want to subscribe. Ingredients on the website can sound scary, but generally are low risk. We like fragrance-free, dye-free, and chlorine-free features. One small issue we had was that we found some items that would have a white film after washing.

Seventh Generation Zero Plastic Dishwasher Tablets Review | Zero Waste Biodegradable Dishwashing Tablets

NOT a buy. We love Seventh Generation as a company and enjoy many of their products. Unfortunately, the dishwashing detergent tablets are not one of those items. We would prefer the Seventh Generation powder given the same ingredients, cheaper cost, and still plastic-free option. For thsoe who like the convenience of pods/tablets over powder, we hope that the upcoming refills may cheapen the price in the future.

Seventh Generation Zero Plastic Home Cleaning Line Review 2020 | Zero Waste Cleaning Products

NOT a buy. The Seventh Generation Zero Complete Bundle for home cleaning includes the hand washing powder, toilet bowl cleaner powder, laundry tablets, dishwasher tablets, kitchen cleaner powder and bathroom cleaner powder. For a lower price, the whole home bundle omits the hand washing powder, which we like.

The ingredients are non-toxic and the canisters are made of steel — the world’s most recycblable material. However, as an example, with dishwasher powder, we prefer Seventh Gen’s old school powder in a cardboard box, which is already pretty zero waste.
