i've been a fan of method for a while now, using their products for the last 5 years or so. everything thing make seems to slowly make it's way into our home. i like the fact that if the cat or the girl were to ever get into any of it, they wouldn't be in danger of poisoning themselves or perhaps something worse.
i first started using their cleaning products, and then their laundry detergents and for the past month or so, i've been giving their smarty dish dishwasher detergent a try. and you know what? it works. and it works really well. without the phosphates or bleach that are dominant in your average dishwasher powder, liquid or tab. and their easy to pick up. they make their way into my cart whenever i'm swinging through target.
i love that it comes in a tab that's ready to throw in the dishwasher when you're ready to use it. i love that it's made from naturally derived ingredients so i can actually read the product label and understand what's in it instead of getting out a dictionary. and the packaging is compact and 100% recyclable as well – i do think whoever over at method does packaging for them is a genius. simple, clean, easy to see what you're getting. no overwhelming colors or logos or whatnot.
and why are phosphates so bad you ask? because that's the question i get first from my husband. whenever i introduce something new and green to our lives, he always questions how it's better than what we've been using/doing. phosphates in our water system contribute to the growth of algae which in turn depletes oxygen needed for aquatic life to survive. in fact, in some states it will soon be mandated that you only use phosphate free dishwasher detergent. this has been true for laundry detergents since 1993 when phosphates were banned from those products.
so thank you method. for not only being ahead of the non-phosphate included game, but for making a product not including harmful ingredients that actually works. and for continually making me a happy consumer.
