Finish Powerball Tabs

Finish is a top-rated detergent brand, and the brand's tabs are phosphate- and bleach-free without even claiming to be super-green (though parent company Reckitt Benckiser says it will reduce its carbon footprint 20 percent by 2020, and plant 2 million trees). It isn't free of dyes and perfumes, though. $10.15 at amazon.com.

Stay tuned for updates to this feature, as our friends at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute release new results of testing for phosphate-free detergents.
