But why Phosphate Free? What is so bad about Phosphates?
From Yahoo Green:
When phosphates wind up in waterways like rivers and coastal areas, they can “fertilize” algae populations, leading to large algal blooms which in turn can choke out plant and animal life in aquatic ecosystems. This is called eutrification, and along with agricultural runoff, can contribute to aquatic dead zones.
Sounds like a pretty good reason to me, but will a phosphate free detergent get rid of the peanut butter stuck on my knife and the 100% juice ring in the bottom of my glass?
This one will!
All you have to do is drop one light-weight oval shaped powder pellet in the main detergent compartment of your dishwasher and wait for the cleaning magic to occur. I don’t know what their secret is but whatever it is, I love it (and my sparkly clean dishes).
Eric Ryan and Adam Lowry are the creators of the people-safe, environmentally aware, and animal-friendly Method product lins; they have an amazing ability to make products that smell amazing, work extremely well, are biodegradable, are naturally derived, and are packaged in an environmentally smart way. They also use humor (something near and dear to my heart) in their advertising.
Method products are quickly becoming the staple green cleaners in my home.
Are you a Method lover too or is there another green cleaner that you are excited about? Do you have other informational links concerning reasons for going green? Share away via the comment section.

My current dishwasher detergent is almost out, but I've tried other "green" products that just don't cut it in hard water.
Has anyone tried this method product with hard water with any success?
I don't have a dish washer but some of the other products I enjoy and are easier to use.
