Customer Reviews

I was surprised how well this worked! Now it's my favorite.
I use mostly earth friendly cleaning products in the house, and I was glad to stumble across this product. Not only is it less expensive that regular dishwasher cleaners, it works just as well if not better than them.

The packaging seemed incredibly small, about the size of a 7-11 Big Gulp cup, so I quickly poured a canister into an empty cup and brought out my Cuisinart measuring tablespoon and found that there were in fact 59 loads worth of powder (at 1 tablespoon per load), although the tared weight on the powder did exceed 2 lbs by a couple of ounces. That is not really a big deal to me, and if you're using a flatware tablespoon you'll probably get a bit more than 64 loads out of the canister.

I purposely left a dinner plate overnight with dried on cheese and a knife with peanut butter residue on it so I could test the effectiveness of this product. When they were loaded into the dishwasher with a full load this powder managed to clean the dishes spotless without using any added heat or prewashing like I normally would with a standard cleaner.

I have so far washed a few loads with this powder and every dish has come out clean except for one bowl still had one spot of dried on chili.

The canister says that if you have hard water you will need 2 tablespoons, and 1 tablespoon for soft water, and I imagine you could adjust those to get it to work just perfect for you.

Best of all, this product is Made in the USA, and it's not tested on animals and it has no animal ingredients. The plastic canister can be recycled when you are done, and it claims to have no negative effects on rivers, streams, plants, or wildlife. It has no artificial fragrance, colors, or preservatives, and it's biodegradable and Ozone safe. The Grapefruit seed and Orange Peel extracts in this product are pleasant and not overwhelming to me at all.

The only thing I would recommend to Biokleen is that they sell a cleaning products package consisting of a 2 month supply of this product along with laundry detergent, general purpose cleaner, and window cleaner, plus any other best-selling cleaners they have. Most people do not want to order a 2 year supply of this at a time, and I have to admit that is what prevented me from ordering this soon. I wrote to them a couple of months ago suggesting this, but I have yet to see this offered at Amazon.

WORKS GREAT & MADE IN THE USA
Very effective at cleaning dishes. Only takes 1 Tablespoon to wash entire load with no residues or spots. If residue is left on the dishes reduce the amount of cleaner and this will solve the problem. I like the fact that it's MADE IN THE USA & has environmental benefits. The smell is quite nice, but I like citrus smells. I've found this item cheaper at other online sites when it's on sale. If it's not on sale elsewhere Amazons price w/free shipping is the best. I'd like to see it offered in 6 pack cases as 12 containers should last anywhere from 12 to 24 months depending on how many loads you wash per day. Not sure about shelf life of storing the containers that long. Plastic container is nice because it can be recycled and doesn't allow moisture to enter as has happened with cardboard containers. I also use Ecover & think that both products clean the same but I prefer the Made in America brand given all the recent problems with products made overseas.

This is a great product
I really like this detergent.....the package is smaller and is recyclable, which is always a plus. As far as cleaning goes, its performace is great! My dishes get as clean as they do with conventional detergents. The citrus smell is strong but not unpleasant......at least to me, if you are sensitive to scents, it might bother you. All in all a fantastic product!

Bamboo Dishtowels
I recently purchased Bamboo towels for the bathroom and they are the BEST towels I have ever owned. They are soft, absorbant and very thick. I decided to buy the bamboo towels for the kitchen and they are just as thick and soft. They do not fray and they don't smell like other kitchen towels.

Wonderful!
Best dishtowels ever! These are soft and absorbent, with a beautiful sheen. The color is exactly as pictured.

They soak it up and don't get smelly
These are my favorite dish towels. Actually I use them more for hand towels in the kitchen. They get my hands dry remarkably faster and dryer than cotton and they last longer than cotton before they smell like they need laundering.

Amazon.com Product Description
DII's Claret Bamboo Dishtowels are earth-friendly products for the home. Made from a blend of 65 percent bamboo and 35 percent cotton, the towels are approved by eco-conscious consumers.

Customer Reviews

Top rated CReport review was correct
Consumer Reports had this as one of the top rated dish soaps, I agree. My hands and lungs thank me for how gentle this is.

I was disappointed.
This was supposed to be a years supply for my family of 7. Although I doubted it would last that long once the bottles were received, I would have been content if it would have lasted 6 months. However, out of 12 bottles we have already used four in just 8 weeks. Although I love buying green, I need something that works great so I don't have to use a bunch. I have had to rewash so many dishes with this soap, it's a waste of water. I have even bought special scrubbers, still no help. I never had this much trouble using Dawn or even Joy! I will not buy this product again.

LOVE, LOVE this product!
I like the simple smell and non-greasy, mean-cleaning formula. For some reason, I'm also attracted to the packaging. Not sure why. I have added it as a permanent fixture with the rest of my organic/all natural cleaning arsenal.
