Do you love the smell of clean dishes when you open the dishwasher?  I do too, or at least I did until I learned that dish soap can be one of the most toxic chemicals under the kitchen sink.  And, the lovely smell is only the product of harsh toxins.  I don’t want toxins on the dishes that I eat off of – or any dishes for that matter.

Dishwasher Detergent:

Many common dishwashing detergents show up as a “D” or “F” on the EWG database. Check your out AND consider…switching to safer!

What to avoid: Products with:

• Oxygen Bleach – adverse effects on endocrine and reproductive as well as overall adverse effects on development.
• Sodium Hypochlorite – rated an “F” on EWG’s website, this toxin has a potential link to cancer and may affect the reproductive system.
• Phosphates – high concern for the environment (especially in aquatic ecosystems).

• It’s so concentrated that you only need 1 tablespoon per load!
• Safe, biodegradable, &  plant based ingredients (such as soapberries).

Dish Soap:

What to avoid:

• FD & C Yellow 5 – potential carcinogen (cancer causing) & risk to reproductive system.
• Sodium Laureth Sulfate – potential damage to DNA & vision, potential carcinogen.
• Methylisothiazolinone – commonly found in dish soap, a synthetic preservative with a potential link to allergies. (Link)
