What dishwasher detergent do you moms use?

I really, really tried to love 7th Generation...I love that it's non-toxic and had no phosphates. But it sucks, it really does. Our dishwasher is only a few years old, so it's not the dishwasher. We've used the 7th Generation for over a year I'd say, and it's gotten progressively worse. Our flatwear has become sooooo cloudy, things have started to appear dirty after washing (I rinse everything perfectly clean before loading it, b/c I know the 7th Generation hasn't worked well on getting food off). Last night it didn't wash anything, literally just globbed in the bottom of my dishwasher (didn't know it before I used several of DD's bottles Chat Icon )

What "eco-friendly" detergent do you use? I gave in and used Cascade tonight, but using an "eco-friendly" one is very important to me since DD eats off of everything, and her bottles are in there.

I'm at my wit's end with it, it's gross!!

Always here for comic relief Chat Icon Chat Icon Seriously, I was gagging at the nasty dishes that I fed DD off of w/o knowing it. I put in my time with that stuff, I tried to love it. And all the while, DH was nagging me to just switch back to Cascade...he was right (gasp Chat Icon ) I just hated the way her bottles smelled, like bleach.

Sorry, I didn't want to make it seem like Cascade was bad or anything ladies, I was just trying to be socially-conscious about something Chat Icon We're back to Cascade for the meantime, unless I find another alternative that actually CLEANS like Cascade!

I use the Palmolive Eco Friendly Phosphate free stuff, don't know the exact name. It doesn't leave a film like the other d/w soap I've tried.

Well we use 7th Generation...but Sometimes when on sale I get Ecover( works the best IMO) ...and it works great! And just recently I tried Method brand ,they redesigned them..worked great but didnt like the price.

I'm no help. We use Electrosol tablets, bought in a big can from Costco. Not eco-friendly that I know of.
