Nellie's Dishwasher Powder, 3.5 lb (1.6 kg)

I’ve been using this powder for 8 months and I love it. I like that it doesn’t have plastics, phosphates (environmentally friendly) and that it’s made in Canada. It cleans excellent. Hint.. I do also make sure I have a rinse agent in the DW auto dispenser. That is also important as I have read that if you start having moisture or streaking left on your dishes check the prince agent amount. Also cleaning out the filter/screen helps. I’m still on the first container and one scoop is enough so price point is also good. I’m a slight bit mixed on the can container .. looks nice. It arrived with a dented top (presumably from shipping) and it is hard to get off so I have it under the sink and the lid on loose. Perhaps if the lid wasn’t dented it may go on/off easier. Good that it’s a recyclable container. I’m am overall very satisfied and highly recommend this product!!

This container lasted us 9 months for a family of 7 who cook often. The biggest thing I've noticed since switching over from the plasticy colored pouches is that there is no residue on the dishes once they have finished their cycle. The dishes always come out clean and there is no funky smell or smudge on the dishes. They are just wonderfully clean. This gives me peace of mind knowing that my family is not ingesting chemicals and plastics from the other dishwasher detergents.

I bought this because our tap water is pretty hard, and most dishwasher pods either leave a cloudy film or don’t dissolve properly. After using Nellie’s for a couple of weeks, I’m honestly impressed. One small scoop is enough, and it actually dissolves fully, even on the quick wash cycle. The biggest difference for me has been the glassware. With other detergents, I’d usually get those annoying white spots or streaks, but this powder leaves everything clear. Plates come out clean, and cutlery looks brighter too. I still give anything with baked-on food a quick rinse first, but that’s pretty normal with hard water anyway. The powder can clump a bit if you leave the lid loose, so I keep the tin closed tight and it’s fine. The tin itself is solid and nicer than the plastic tubs most detergents come in. Overall, for hard water, this has been one of the best detergents I’ve tried. Simple, unscented, and it actually does the job.

Its so hard to find a good more natural dish cleaner. I was using clean people and I loved them. However, they use plastic for their pods and dont have a powder only option. I got tired of buying them and cutting the plastic off. They say the plastic melts and is safe but it clogs my dish washer. Also I dont want harsh chemicals on my kids cups and things. This brand doesnt leave a film and is a really good product. I think it cleans my dishes well and the price is agreeable. Is it more money than powders at the store, yes but is it worth my piece of mind and knowing we are safe for using a more natural product, yes. I love this tin BTW! Its just a little hard to open, but I have small children so that's fine. I keep it locked away anyways. I want to buy the soap butter dish as well and switch my liquid soap too. I will be buying as long as they are selling. Great products!

I’ve been using Nellie’s Dishwasher Powder - 100 Load for a few weeks now and I’m genuinely impressed. First off, the tin container is adorable and super practical — it looks great on my shelf and is way better than bulky plastic tubs. It’s easy to scoop from and seals well to keep everything fresh. As for performance, it cleans dishes beautifully! Glasses come out clear, no cloudy residue, and even the more stubborn pots and pans are sparkling clean. I love that it’s a more eco-friendly option too — less packaging waste and no harsh chemicals. A little goes a long way, so I can definitely see this lasting the full 100 loads (if not more). Highly recommend if you’re looking for something that’s effective, eco-conscious, and stylish to boot!
