Most dishwasher pods use PVA plastic film that doesn't fully dissolve — a form of microplastic that ends up in water systems. Many conventional tablets rely on SLS and synthetic fragrance. Our powder does neither: four targeted enzymes, a natural hard-water chelator, and Florida lemon essential oil. Nothing that shouldn't be near your plates.
Each with a specific food-residue job — engineered for dishwasher temperatures and pH.
Sodium gluconate binds mineral ions before they spot your glassware.
Cold-pressed Florida lemon essential oil — not synthetic fragrance.
No PVA film, no plastic pods. Powder dissolves completely.
Powder, pods, tablets, gels — what's actually in them.
Compared by format, not brand — because the format determines what has to be in it.
Comparison describes general characteristics of each detergent format based on published manufacturing literature and publicly available ingredient disclosures as of 2026. Individual products vary — some tablets are formulated to minimize binders. Always check the specific product's ingredient list.
Every dish type covered, every food residue treated — not just enzymes added for a label claim.
One customer mentioned hard water. Instead of ignoring it, we improved the formula — adding sodium gluconate, a natural chelator from glucose fermentation that binds calcium and magnesium ions before they leave mineral residue on glassware and dishes.
Biodegradable, non-toxic, and effective at standard dosing in any water — soft, hard, or anywhere between.
Because the standard we hold ourselves to doesn't have a ceiling.
Hear it straight from Katie — what goes into the formula, what we deliberately leave out, and why a powder beats a plastic pod every time.
Observation first. Claims last.

Precise dosing. Every dish type covered.
Add powder to the detergent compartment — not the pre-wash. Sodium gluconate handles hard water at standard dosing, so there's no separate rinse aid to manage.
Questions, answered.
What customers actually say.
"Dishes, especially glassware, are so clean. No hard water film or spots."
"My wife loves the clean lemon smell and the lack of residue on glassware. Product fully dissolves and cleans dishes very well."
"Works VERY well! If I rinse the dishes first, I only use ½ a scoop and it works great."
"The best! Dishes come out clean and spot free."
Even the best detergent can't out-clean a clogged filter. Most dishwashers have a removable filter at the bottom that traps food debris — and it works best when it's rinsed out regularly.
Twist it out, rinse under warm water, give it a gentle scrub with a soft brush, and pop it back in. A quick monthly rinse keeps your glassware spotless and your dishwasher running fresh.
