Nellie's Dishwasher Powder, 3.5 lb (1.6 kg)

I bought this because our tap water is pretty hard, and most dishwasher pods either leave a cloudy film or don’t dissolve properly. After using Nellie’s for a couple of weeks, I’m honestly impressed. One small scoop is enough, and it actually dissolves fully, even on the quick wash cycle. The biggest difference for me has been the glassware. With other detergents, I’d usually get those annoying white spots or streaks, but this powder leaves everything clear. Plates come out clean, and cutlery looks brighter too. I still give anything with baked-on food a quick rinse first, but that’s pretty normal with hard water anyway. The powder can clump a bit if you leave the lid loose, so I keep the tin closed tight and it’s fine. The tin itself is solid and nicer than the plastic tubs most detergents come in. Overall, for hard water, this has been one of the best detergents I’ve tried. Simple, unscented, and it actually does the job.

I’ve been using this powder for 8 months and I love it. I like that it doesn’t have plastics, phosphates (environmentally friendly) and that it’s made in Canada. It cleans excellent. Hint.. I do also make sure I have a rinse agent in the DW auto dispenser. That is also important as I have read that if you start having moisture or streaking left on your dishes check the prince agent amount. Also cleaning out the filter/screen helps. I’m still on the first container and one scoop is enough so price point is also good. I’m a slight bit mixed on the can container .. looks nice. It arrived with a dented top (presumably from shipping) and it is hard to get off so I have it under the sink and the lid on loose. Perhaps if the lid wasn’t dented it may go on/off easier. Good that it’s a recyclable container. I’m am overall very satisfied and highly recommend this product!!

Very happy with the dishwasher powder. I was looking for a “clean” non-toxic option for our dishwasher. I’m always hesitant that a powder will leave a cloudy residue on my dishes. However, Nellie’s not only cleans well but leaves no seen or felt residue on the dishes.

I have used this dishwasher powder in both a portable dishwasher and now a built-in one, and it has performed well in each situation. When I was using a portable dishwasher, it worked perfectly every time and always provided great value. I never had issues with residue and everything came out clean. After moving into a home with a standard dishwasher, I tried pods, liquid detergents, and Nellie's cubes, but I kept running into unclean dishes or leftover film. I switched back to this powder because it had been the most reliable for me. In my current dishwasher, I do see some residue at times, but running a sanitize rinse removes it completely. Once that cycle is used, dishes come out clean and glassware looks clear. The plant-based and fragrance-free formula is a nice plus, although it is not a major factor for me. This container lasts a long time. When I was running my dishwasher between one and three times per day, a single tub still lasted more than four months, which makes it excellent value for the price. I would recommend this powder to anyone who wants a dependable and cost-effective detergent, especially if they are using a portable dishwasher or have struggled with pods or liquids leaving residue. Pros: - Excellent performance with portable dishwashers - Works consistently in both portable and built-in dishwashers - Cleans well when used with a sanitize rinse - Long-lasting container with great value - Plant-based and fragrance-free Cons: - Occasional residue unless sanitize rinse is used

This container lasted us 9 months for a family of 7 who cook often. The biggest thing I've noticed since switching over from the plasticy colored pouches is that there is no residue on the dishes once they have finished their cycle. The dishes always come out clean and there is no funky smell or smudge on the dishes. They are just wonderfully clean. This gives me peace of mind knowing that my family is not ingesting chemicals and plastics from the other dishwasher detergents.
