15 Best Non Toxic Dishwasher Soaps

Finding the best non toxic dishwasher detergent is very important to me. I started using ‘better’ detergents many many years ago. Why? Because we eat off these plates and these utensils touch our mouths! Yes you would think that the dishwasher would scour away the chemicals used in these soaps but I’m not taking a chance. And why would I when there are plenty of non toxic options out there.

I have done all of the work for you. I’ve scoured the web and researched on EWG. These are some of the most popular and best non toxic dishwasher soaps on the market today.

How Do I Define Non Toxic?

• Free of synthetic fragrances. If it’s not a natural scent then I don’t want to smell it.
• No harsh chemicals. No chlorine, phosphates, dyes, sulfates, and phthalates.
• Plant or mineral based ingredients only.
