Dirty Labs | Dishwasher Detergent and Booster | Scent Free | 48 Loads (1 lb) | Ultra Clean, Spot Free, Quick Wash Optimized | Hyper Concentrated

I switched to Dirty Labs Dishwasher Detergent and Booster, and it has truly become the "best friend" of our dishwasher. As a parent who prioritizes safe ingredients for my family, I love that this formula is bio-based and non-toxic while still delivering professional-grade results. The Aestival scent is wonderful—it’s light, fresh, and doesn't leave that overwhelming "detergent smell" on our plates and glasses. What impressed me most is the cleaning power; even on our toughest loads, everything comes out spot-free and crystal clear. It effectively removes dried-on food without needing a pre-rinse, which saves us so much time in the kitchen. The ultra-concentrated powder means a little goes a long way, making it a very efficient and eco-friendly choice. If you want a dishwasher detergent that is tough on stains but gentle on your family and the planet, Dirty Labs is a total home run!

Dirty Labs dishwasher detergent uses enzymes to clean dishes instead of chemical solvents. I've used it for a few months and so far it has been able to clean my dishes as effectively as my previous detergent pods. Glasses come out clear and without residue. The packaging is made of recyclable cardboard and includes a small metal tray (appears to be aluminum) and wooden spoon for measuring the powder. The box is labeled as 100% recyclable, though the specific material composition of the tray isn't explicitly stated. The detergent has a faint citrus scent that isn't overpowering. The measuring process adds a few seconds compared to tossing in a pod, but the cleaning performance and better eco footprint make it a worthwhile trade-off in my opinion.

I’ll be honest—I wasn’t expecting to have strong feelings about a dishwasher detergent. But Dirty Labs Dishwasher Detergent and Booster surprised me in the best way. It actually works. Like, really works. Greasy plates, baked-on food, cloudy glasses—everything comes out clean without needing to pre-rinse. Even my glassware looks noticeably clearer, and there’s no weird film or residue left behind. What I appreciate most is that it manages to be effective without being harsh. A lot of “clean” or eco-friendly detergents either don’t clean well or leave dishes looking dull. This one somehow avoids both problems. The ingredients feel thoughtful, and it’s nice knowing I’m not washing my dishes with a bunch of aggressive chemicals. The scent is light and fresh, not overpowering, and it doesn’t linger on the dishes—which I love. The powder dissolves easily, and the booster is great for those extra messy loads when the dishwasher needs a little help. Even the packaging feels intentional and simple, which is a small thing but still nice. It doesn’t look out of place sitting on the counter. Overall, this is one of those products you don’t realize you’ve been missing until you use it. Dirty Labs Dishwasher Detergent and Booster does exactly what it promises, and it does it well. I’ll definitely be sticking with it.

I love that this detergent is completely scent-free, leaving no chemical smells on my dishes. It cleans exceptionally well, removing all food particles and leaving absolutely no residue or water spots—everything comes out sparkling. It feels very safe and effective. The only downside is that it is on the expensive side per load compared to standard brands. However, for the clean ingredients and high performance, I think it's worth the extra cost.

I love it, has no plastic, cleans great! It has great eco friendly, organ ingredients that do a good job. Easy to use it comes with a little spoon and it docent leave any residue or stickiness on it.

I've been very concerned about using dishwashing detergents that have harmful ingredients. I was looking for a "clean" one for a long time and tried various brands. 1. Dirty Labs cleans well - which was an important criteria for me. 2. It leaves no residue - I was frustrated when the other brands I tried left residue on plates, glasses and cutlery. This one doesn't. 3. It has no fragrance, which is what I wanted. Yet the dishes comes out without odor issues. 4. It doesn't come in plastic pods - another important criteria since I want less plastic in the environment, and also don't want microplastics as a result of dishwashing. I don't have to worry about microplastics with this detergent. 5. It comes with an easy to measure attractive wooden spoon and paper container that holds perfectly well.

This is an excellent product and is very effective at removing food residue and getting plates and pans to shine. As a biochemist, this is the cleanest dish detergent I was able to find on the market. I still rinse dishes out of the dishwasher once or twice before using just to ensure all residue is removed, but I would trust this with not rinsing long before any soap or dish soap used in handwashing. I had severe gut issues that started up a year or so ago and although I don’t think they were caused by my detergent at the time (standard store brand), they have started healing while using this, I can eat so so many more foods now — which is a good sign (easier to help break something than to fix it / play a role in reversing it). The product lasts for forever, I only had to get a refill recently [8-10 months after the first] which was a shock to me. The scoop that is included makes dosing a breeze, I only use 1 scoop per full dishwasher load. It dissolves within the first several minutes of turning the dishwasher on, I’ve never seen any undissolved material in the dishwasher and sometimes I’ll open it quite early in the cycle. There is no smell. Elderly / those with low hand dexterity may have trouble initially opening the container to get the little tin insert holding the scoop out, it is in there relatively tight — a butter knife wedged in between the insert and the container to help pry the insert out could help in this situation. I would highly (and have highly) recommended this product to people.

I have been using this daily for several months. I started because the grocery store stuff was leaving a chemical soapy taste on my dishes. This stuff is natural, has a light scent, and doesn’t leave a taste on my dishes. The best part is that it leaves them sparkling clean. Honestly, the cost gives me some pause, but I think it’s worth it.
