Diane, I’m glad you found the post helpful. I still haven’t tried the 7G gel, but Ecover is my favorite so far. I haven’t had any film issues with it.

I use 7th Generation gel dishwasher detergent and have for about a year now…my biggest complaint is that it is such a small bottle…seems like they could save a little plastic by making the bottle larger…you know, less lids and handles and such…also, I have noticed that if I don’t pre-wash my glasses (especially those that contained milk) there is a terrible film. I have started using straight vinegar in my rinse aid compartment and that helps a little. Thanks for putting this info out there…I was considering changing to Palmolive Eco, but then I read that it has chlorine…guess I’ll stick with 7th Generation…maybe I’ll look online for Ecover.

Hmm. How strange that each one is wrapped in plastic. That’d be my main turnoff.

I plan to try the Biokleen soon, I think I’ll compare it to this one. I’m still loving the Biokleen liquid laundry soap.

Jennifer, I can’t remember if Whole Foods/Wild Oats had the plain powder (not tablets in plastic). But you should look there. I think you’ll like it.

I really want to try these, but wonder if any of my local stores will have them. I still like the biokleen but not the packaging, have decided I don’t adore 7th gen, and am wondering what to try next. Too bad about that plastic cover.
