Oxy-Dish Automatic Dish Detergent

Containing no phosphorous, bleach or “other cheater chemicals.” Oxy-Dish is well liked by reviewers. It dissolves well, doesn’t clump (a problem with some brands) and can be used in hard or soft water. It’s very concentrated, so you use half as much. “Tested on scientists, not critters.” $13 and up at ecogeeks.com.
