Compared to traditional dishwasher powders, Seventh Generation Dishwasher Detergent Packs offer a pre-measured dose that eliminates mess and waste. While many conventional brands use phosphates to soften water and chlorine to bleach stains, Seventh Generation utilizes enzymes that break down proteins and starches naturally. This results in dishes that are just as clean but without the lingering chemical scent often found with major commercial brands.
