Palmolive Eco Dishwasher Detergent Gel, Lemon Splash - 45 ounce (Pack of 3) - Packaging May Vary

I actually like this dishwashing detergent quite a bit. The stores around me don't carry this anymore, but it was a reasonable cost to order on Amazon. Gets my dishes clean, works well with the Bosch dishwasher. I don't understand the love for Cascade. It stinks to high heck and is unnecessarily dyed blue, which stained my dishwasher. I had to scrub the dishwasher afterward, and I wound up throwing the rest of the bottle away. I happened upon this detergent, and it worked like champ. Bonus that it seems to be slightly less toxic to the environment than the other detergents. Have not yet had a problem with it not getting the dishes clean. My only complaint is that it's more expensive by about $1 each on Amazon than what it typically costs in the stores. If I find a store nearby that carries it, I'll stop buying it on Amazon.

Okay, so we have been having a really hard time with staining inside our toilet bowls where we can't reach(I blame my 3 little kids flushing habits). My housekeeper recommended that we buy some of this stuff for dissolving it. I was totally skeptical but believed in her enthusiasm. She had been cleaning a house and ran out of toilet bowl cleaner, this was the only thing available in the woman's house. She squirted it in the toilet bowl and came back to scrub it sometime later and it had completely dissolved everything yucky in the toilet. This detergent works where other products and manuel scrubbers have failed to reach and resolve. I hope the manufacturer reads this because they don't know what an awesome product they have created, LOL! One caution is don't squirt it and forget about it, it does dry and get kind of stuck. Not a huge deal because it does come off with a toilet brush, but I do worry a little bit about it weakening the porcelain finished in the very long term. I have not used it in my dishwasher because of the cost and that we are not unhappy with Cascade from Costco, but I am sure it probably works great. Probably the cost issue would be different if I bought it from a local retailer.

When we make a purchase, we really need to evaluate numerous conditions that apply, both to what we seek in the product, the conditions under which it will be used, and so forth. I had been using Cascade dishwashing liquid, but found that it just seemed to not get stuff as clean as I wanted. I tried this Palmolive Eco, and immediately noticed a dramatic improvement, first load I ran with it.But it's not always easy for me to find this in my local stores. Some just don't carry it at all, others where I have found it, seem to run out. At times I've tried the generic big box brands. Poor performance. Recently I was completely out, and I had to go back to Cascades blue gel, I think it's called Complete. Just so disappointed with that. The coffee mugs ... I make strong, fresh roasted coffee ... my mugs don't even come out clean.I was delighted to see Palmolive Eco offered through Subscribe and Save, and I just got my first 3-pack. And once again, the mugs that have been coming out time after time with coffee residue on them, 100% clean with Palmolive Eco.Now I think Cascade Complete might be a very good product under different conditions and circumstances. There's something about the Palmolive Eco that just seems to work very well with the moderately hard water that my municipal water company provides. But even when I added LemiShine with the Cascade, it still did not make up for Cascades weakness with the mineral rich hard water.So, if you haven't tried Eco, if you have moderately hard water, I definitely recommend you give this product a try. I am very very pleased with it. And now that I've got Subscribe and Save, I'm hoping I never run out again.

I usually buy this dishwasher detergent at a local store, but it has been out of stock for several weeks. Seeing it on Amazon, I figured I would order. I did read several other reviews that the product leaked in shipping, but was hoping the seller would have figured out how to resolve this issue. Sadly, my order arrived with leaked detergent all over the 3 bottles, despite the “gripper” sticker/tape used to secure the lids closed. Thankfully, all the leaked detergent was contained in the plastic bag the 3 bottles shipped in, but they all still needed to be cleaned, and the smell of the detergent is awful on my hands! (It does not have the same odor when running through the dishwasher; I think it is the bleach, but I am not positive.)As far as the actual detergent and its performance, I think it does a great job. This is a bleach based cleaner, so it is not as effective if you leave food on your dishes for the dishwasher to clean (find an enzyme based cleaner and you will be much more pleased!) But if you pre-rinse your dishes before running the dishwasher, this is a great, cost effective option. I am sensitive to smells, and this doesn’t leave my dishes with a cleanser odor, like other brands do, when coming out of the dishwasher, either.4 stars just because of the shipping issue.

So none of the local stores around me carry this anymore, but it really is the only dishwasher soap I’ve ever used that clean dishes immaculately and also don’t leave a yuck residue. I won’t ever use a different dishwasher soap.Now… the packaging… since I have had to order it before, I’ve gotten the joys of ordering it before and found it shipped with leaky bottles and all sorts of issues! Not here!!! This was delivered in a package that looked like a sophisticated gift, and was well padded inside so that none of the bottles leaked and there wasn’t a mess!!! A+++ for packaging and shipping. 100% will reorder.

I really like the product, but the price was way to high. More than doubled the price in discount stores. I will not buy from here again.
