Is dishwasher detergent toxic?

Is dishwasher detergent toxic?

To avoid toxicity and ingredients harmful to nature, steer clear of dishwasher pods (which contain polyvinyl alcohol or PVA in their wrappers) and sheets (for the same reason). Powders are a better option because you control the amount used for each wash.

Koala Eco makes a dishwasher powder that’s tough on grease but easy on the environment. Our Natural Dishwasher Powder with Lemon Myrtle and Mandarin (packaged in a recyclable box) works better than mainstream products: no harsh chemicals, no artificial fragrance AND it gives the assurance of being biodegradable and totally septic safe.

Our powder will make pots and pans, glassware and dishes sparkling clean, by two of nature’s top performing antibacterial botanicals. No waste, no PVA wrapping of detergent pods, just terrific results; and a kitchen filled with the creamy citrus scent of Lemon Myrtle and the sweet tang of Mandarin.
