    Seventh Generation Ultra Power Plus dishwasher packs! I purchase them at Target. I love them! I was hand washing my son’s bottles, binky’s, silicone plates, etc. up until he was about 9 months old ( he is 14 months old now). I finally gave up because the skin on my hands were shriveling up and became super dried out! The cascade we were using seem to give an odd taste to his food when I washed his silicone plates in the dishwasher. So, I decided to find an eco friendly dishwashing pod. I have also tried a couple of the Method pods. But, with our dishwasher, they leave an white crust on just about all of our glassware ( plastic and glass). So far, we have had no issues with the Seventh Generations pods!

    I’ve always had a working dishwasher but we ALWAYS wash everything by hand, and the dishwasher’s sole purpose is used as a drying rack.
