Detox Me Tuesday Approved Dishwasher Detergent
Look at all of these safer options!! I get asked about safer dishwasher detergent options a lot because many of you don’t care what you use. It is a switch to safer that is easy to make when you run out of what you are currently using since there is zero emotional attachment. Many common dishwasher detergents include ingredients like undisclosed fragrance, harsh bleaches, dyes and other chemicals. You definitely don’t want nasty chemicals directly where you are putting your mouth and tons of heat which may leach it. Many of these brands also have rinse aids/boosters if you need them. I have also heard of just adding vinegar as a rinse aid. Let me know what you try! *Pro Tip: Go unscented or fragrance free here for a super clean wash. Your plates don’t need to smell like rainbows!
