Tropical Traditions Powdered Dishwasher Detergent Review and Giveaway

CLOSED

Congratulations! Winner  #11 BethElderton

Tropical Traditions allowed me to review yet another one of their many products. This time I choose to review their Powdered Dishwasher Detergent with Enzymes.

Household Traditions Powdered Dishwasher Detergent is non-toxic and environmentally safe with no harmful by-products upon decomposition. Household Traditions Powdered Dishwasher Detergent does NOT contain chlorine, phosphates, fillers or fragrances. Household Traditions Powdered Dishwasher Detergent rinses away completely leaving no residue on your dishes so you get a clean, safe sparkle.

Did you know that many states have now banned or limited phosphates in automatic dish detergents because of the harm it causes to the environment? No worries with Tropical Traditions Powdered Dishwasher Detergent. Not only does it not contain any phosphates but it also does not contain any other toxic materials such as chlorine. I know there has been much debate about non phosphate formula cleaners not getting the job doing but I did not find this to be an issue with this automatic dish detergent. It really cleaned my dishes just as well if not better then other commercial dish detergents I have used. I love that it is safe for the environment and for my family! At first I was a little unsure about this detergent being in powdered form I tend to stick to liquid dish detergents because I have had problems with powdered detergents leaving a chalky residue on my dishes. I was very pleased to find I did not have a problem with this happening with this detergent! Tropical Traditions Powdered Dishwasher Detergent has added Enzymes to help with the cleaning process as well as a naturally derived rinse agent and hard water treatment additive. This makes for a residue and spot free clean! This dishwashing detergent comes in a large 5 pound tub with a convenient scoop making, it easy to fill your dishwasher it is also fragrance free which is another positive in my book since I can't stand those citrus-y scents many commercial dish detergents add. You can purchase your tub of Tropical Traditions Automatic Dishwasher Detergent with Enzymes on Tropical Traditions website.

They also carry a variety of other non toxic household cleaners in addition to beauty products, foods, and of course their Organic Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil.

The generous people at Tropical Traditions have allowed me to host yet another giveaway. How would you like to win a 5 pound tub of Tropical Traditions Automatic Dishwasher Detergent with Enzymes?
