Dishwasher Detergent Pods | Unscented | 28 Count

These are great dishwasher pods. They work really well and I appreciate that they are Environmental Working Group verified, so I know they are a high quality natural option. I wanted to specifically write a review, because they are also a really solid company. I ordered these in January and when I went to open a new package this weekend (it came in a three pack), many of the pods had burst in transit. I emailed the Aspen Clean customer service about the issue and they got back to me right away (on a Saturday no less), and told me this was a known issue and that they would replace the box of pods right away. I sent them a screen shot of my Amazon order and they let me know a replacement was on its way. I felt it was worth noting this, because good customer service isn't aways a given. This company identified an issue and they are actively working to fix it, and are quickly resolving the problem for customers. That means a lot and I was very impressed. High quality product with a high quality team behind it. Thanks Aspen Clean!

I stopped using non eco-friendly dishwasher detergent years ago. I have tried many eco-friendly ones, and I ALWAYS count packaging in my choice. I will not buy plastic bags or big plastic tubs of even the most eco-friendly product. And until recently I was happy with Seventh Generation powder, the boxed version. But in the newest batch I was using, I had increasing problems with dishes coming clean and also a residue left on dishes. I was about to get a new washer, but instead looked into alternate detergents. I am now trying two--AspenClean and Dropps. Environmental Working Group rates Aspen more highly than Dropps. I am finding so far that both work very well. Dishes feel clean, no food residue, easy to use. AspenClean is kind of pricey but I'm willing to pay more to keep noxious chemicals out of the environment. If my evaluation changes as time goes on, I will update this review.

I love this product. I am on well water with high mineral count and these pods work very well while very easy to use.

It works pretty good , but sometimes it leaves a residue

These dishwasher pods are great. They have no odor. When I open the dishwasher after running the cycle, the smell doesn’t set off my allergies. I was concerned about how clean my dishes and glasses would be. They are better than the Cascade that I used for decades. Great purchase!

Initially I rated this 5 stars when I started using it 18 months ago. Unfortunately over time it clogs the washer drain with a grey odorless sticky residue. It feels like the glue on the back of a roll of duct tape. It forms thick films that prevent the washer from draining/cycling properly. You could address the issue by frequently scrubbing that filter, but it's quite difficult to remove because it's sticky like glue. It's nothing like the sort of food residue you'd normally expect to be on the filter. I suspect it's coming from the "Polyvinyl Alcohol Polymer" in the wrappers. The wrappers feel extremely gooey and sticky if you touch them when wet. The material doesn't seem to be toxic, but looking at the uses for it, it does look like it would have the ability to cause exactly this problem. Edit: It's been around a year since I switched to Blueland pods, and they don't have this problem. They don't have a wrapper at all, which I think is the key difference.

Update: after trying these for several months now, the pods have started geting stuck in the dispenser so i often have to run two cycles. Additionally, i yet again received a package with a bunch of loose powder inside. I didnt even bother this time checking to see how many damaged pods there were this time. I will just return it. The condition of the product upon arrival being so inconsistent and the fact it is not fully dissolving during cycles anymore made me decide to switch to a different product. Too bad because i wanted to love this product! Original: I have been gradually switching out all of our beauty/cleaning products with "cleaner" products and dishwasher detergent was next on my list. It is ewg verified which means no hidden ingredients - excellent start. My first purchase arrived and when I opened the Amazon packaging, the lid was off and all the pods were loose in the bag. I went thru that first container and have been very happy with the results so I decided to subscribe. My second order of these arrived and the container only had 4 pods in it! The Amazon packaging was well sealed, so either somebody swiped 24 pods and then returned an almost empty package OR someone in Amazon swiped them. Either way, based on these two experiences, I would suggest that this company may need to find a better way to seal their containers so they are more secure/tamper proof. The replacement order for the second one with only 4 pods in it arrived in perfect condition with all pods in tact. I will continue to use unless there are consistently issues with not receiving the correct amount of pods.

Love these! They get our dishes clean (most of the time). The only issues we sometimes have with residue are things that are really caked on. If you do a quick rinse before loading dishes into the dishwasher, you are good to go! I like that they are EWG verified, and unscented/no smell. We’ve never had an issue with the pods caking together, and they are powder-filled vs gel. We have been using these for 2 years and have them on auto-reorder!

These get my dishes super clean and have absolutely no scent, which I love. No leftover film or residue either. Great product!

100% vegan formula 99.6% of the total ingredient are from natural origin. Reviewing this product after couple of uses, I am really impressed with the results doesn’t leave any residue and any smell. Clean and EWG verified. I like the packaging which is 100% recycled paper. I recommend this product if you are concerned about harmful chemicals then this is the best product for dishwashing.

Best clean and nontoxic dishwasher pods we’ve used! We tried so many and were unhappy with their efficiency, smell or both. But the aspen pods are great! They clean well, don’t leave any residue, and don’t smell strange.

There were no pods to even try. It was all just powder everywhere. Read the reviews before and saw this was a common problem but I thought meh how bad could it be... no it bad. It real bad. Don't do it and save the hassle

A household favourite! We have tried many other pods and these are the best. Cleans very well even with our water which is on the harder side and dishwasher loads that are always over flowing. No residue after washing! Please note we do wash on the prowash setting.
