Palmolive Eco+ Gel Dishwasher Detergent

Palmolive%20Eco.jpg I was sent some of Palmolive's phosphate-free Eco+ Gel Dishwasher Detergent.

It's said to be more environmentally friendly than regular dishwasher detergent. It has a strong bleach-y smell, I kind of liked it, but it made me wonder how that could be more "eco-friendly", but. I'm not sure.

I like that it doesn't have phosphates, but I'm not sure that is the only requirement to make something "green".

I liked it. It did a fine job of cleaning dishes, comparable to my regular detergent, and, it was a little runnier than I thought it'd be, but that wasn't a show stopper. I didn't have to use more or less than I usually do to get the dishes clean.

Eco+ is available in three scents, Lemon Splash, Citrus Apple Splash and Lavender Splash.

I am all for eco friendliness, so I went and bought this Palmolive eco+ dishwasher. The performance is worse...It did not clean 80% of my dishes properly. I have a one year old DW that always cleans my dishes very well. I am very disappointed with this product.

Maxine:

I tried palmolive eco as well and it ruined my dishes. i emailed the company and they sent me a check for four dollars and some coupons. What about my ruined dishes? Don't buy this product

Jasmin:

I do not recommend this product. I got the lavender kind and it leaves white marks on dark dishes and does not clean everything. I love the fact that it eco friendly but I don't want to waste all the extra water by having to wash my dishes AFTER I already washed them. I'd rather get an eco friendly dish soap and do them myself.

Joe:

I'm real surprised to see such negative reviews of Palmolive Eco+. I was NOT eager to try this when it first arrived at Wal-Mart, mostly because I am so conditioned by brand loyalty that I just assumed it would not work as good as my usual, which is either Cascade or Electrasol powder. What a surprise I received! I find it does a GREAT job of cleaning to a spotless and squeaky-clean shine, and passed my "torture test" of lasagna/spaghetti sauce/baked macaroni & cheese with flying colors. The only thing I don't like is the name of this site - there are PLENTY of men like me out there who work full-time plus run a household and are involved in lots of activities! Busypeople.net is more appropriate.

Hi,

I just reviewed Palmolive eco+ gel on my site -- http://1greenproduct.com/2008/07/kitchen-palmolive-eco-gel-dishwasher.html

Hope you and your readers find my perspective useful!

Did not like this product AT all....left a weird white film on all my dishes, meaning I had to rinse them in the sink, THEN rewash them in the dishwasher after going out and buying something different. I've never had a problem with any other soap but this one in my dishwasher. Will not be using again!
