Will gentle remedies for dishes and dried dirt and grease can handle nature? We tried it for you.
Washing the dishes together with washing is one of the cleaning activities that are most often performed at home. And it doesn’t matter if they’re a few pieces when you are alone at home, or if you climb a mountain after a big family celebration.
Every time we want the result to be perfect and as minimized as possible. This time we were wondering how the tests will perform in the test, which, although they are washed, but at the same time do not harm the environment.
We tried two handwashing preparations, four dishwasher tablets and two gels for dishwasher. It was essential for us to be truly ecologically certified (as we find, read in an accompanying interview), but to be well used, as well as normal means. And even though we had individual reservations, overall, they stood very well.
For hand washing
1. Feeleco tools for dishes with the aroma of lemon
49 CZK / 100 ml
Composition:
5 % or more, but less than 15 %: anionic superficial substance. Less than 5 %: amphoter surface -active substances, vegetable oils (rapeseed, coconut and partially palm and glucose), neiont surfaces, perfumes, phenoxyethanol.
Tereza:
I like it has such a fine composition that I can wash fruits and vegetables with it. Moreover, although it is well washing even a lot of dirty dishes, including a burnt saucepan, it rins a lot. And I admit that when I already had an empty sink, we also cleaned it with the middle (although I normally use another product). He managed this job to number one.
2. Frosch Green Lemon dishwashing
75,90 CZK / 750 ml
Composition:
5–15 % of anionic surface active substance, <5 % non -induced surface active substances, amphoteric surface active substances, preservatives (Lactic Acid) and perfumes (Lemonene, Citral, other perfumes), lemon oil, cosmetic dye
Tereza:
Only a few can torment as a bowl of bread. Because it has been resting in it for quite a long time, all the remains on it will solidify. I washed it after a short soaking and I was really surprised how well worked with the product. Moreover, it smells beautiful, but unobtrusively.
Eva:
I have been using this particular since it has appeared on the Czech market (over twenty years). Not only smells pleasant to me, but unlike the conventional ones (I also tried them, not that not) does not dry my hands.
In the dishwasher
1. Denkmit Nature tablets into the dishwasher
99 CZK / 30 pcs
Composition:
5–15 % oxygen -based bleaching, polycarboxylates. Less than 5 % of nonionic surfaces, phosphonates, contains enzymes (protease/amylase)
Tereza:
They are washing on two, sometimes they had a problem to cope with more dried dirt when the dishes were in the dishwasher overnight. And they leave a faded glass, although they should also contain a polish. But if you add vinegar to it into the stack, everything will shine as it should.
Eva:
I only use them occasionally, because their washing force is not the strongest. But not very dirty and disguised dishes can wash quite well.
2. Frosch eco tablets in the dishwasher All-in-1-Tabs with the aroma of the lemon
219 CZK / 30 pcs
Composition:
> 5– <15% whitening was on the basis of oxygen,> 5% of nonionic superficially active substances (surfactants), polycarboxylates, enzymes (amylase, protease), lemon extract, perfumes
Eva:
The manufacturer states that, in addition to good degreasing capabilities, the use of these tablets also prevents the limescale in the dishwasher. Unfortunately, I cannot confirm that, because I have a dishwasher, but what to confirm I can clearly, is that the dishes, even very dirty and uninhabited casseroles, were beautifully clean and on the washed glasses was not even a droplet of dried water. In addition, the dishwasher smelled beautifully after lemon. They are a bit more expensive, but it exports really well -washed dishes.
Marta:
I use tablets for a week, and so far I haven’t taken out of the dishwasher with poorly washed dishes. I only use about an hourly program at 65 ° C. They also coped with a dried bowl from roast chicken and to the brim filled with a dishwasher. The tablets are wrapped in a completely soluble foil, the dishes are glossy and perfectly washed. And as a bonus, the dishwasher smells of lemon and looks like cleaning.
3. Ecover tablets to the dishwasher all in one
199 CZK / 22 pcs
Composition:
<5 % Noni surface active substances, 5–15 % whitening agent based on oxygen, enzymes, perfumes, lemonne
Eva:
The manufacturer states that tablets (as the only one of the tests we test must be needed to remove from the plastic packaging before inserting them from the plastic packaging). He did not suit me much because of the long wash time, because I needed to wash more dishes than fit into one wash batch. Therefore, I chose a short cycle with a temperature of 50 ° AI at a shorter wash time the tablet managed well with a oily bowl and a container from home prepared mayonnaise. So fats dissolve completely reliably.
4. FROSCH GEL TO ASPELL ALL IN ONE LIME
299 CZK / 650 ml / 40 washing cycles
Composition:
5 % of nonionic superficial active substances; enzymes (protease, amylase); perfume
Tereza:
I admit that this was my first meeting with the gel in the dishwasher. I was a little fighting with the dosage, because we have only 20 and 30 ml in the magazine and here is used a maximum of 18 ml. But I really like the possibility of dosing, because I can only use as much remedy as it really requires. And the washing was definitely number one.
Eva:
Also for me it was the first meeting with the gel in the dishwasher. Because the manufacturer states that it is also suitable for short washing cycles, I tried its skills for lunch freshly emptied baking form from borosilicate glass and launched the dishwasher to a short program with a temperature of 50 °. I was a little troubled with the dosage, because the measurement of 16 ml is not easy and when you pour the gel from a measuring cup into a wash hole (usually a tablet), you have to wipe the measuring cup with your finger, which is nothing comfortable. But the result pleased me, because the gel coped well with the pitch and washed in less than 30 minutes. For the second time, I used the amount of gel from the eye and the glass and plates after the classic two -hour cycle gloss directly exemplary.
5. Feeleco tablets to the All-in-One dishwasher
349 CZK / 70 pcs
Composition:
Less than 5 % non -ionic surface -active substances based on vegetable oils (eg rapeseed, coconut and partly palm), enzymes. 5 % or more but less than 15 % sodium percarbonate
Tereza:
The testing came just as I cooked for a few days for the whole family, and was preparing a few breakfasts and snacks for a glass. In the dishwasher, the pot came after cooking legumes, a pan from cream sauce and a saucepan with remnants of melted chocolate. And the tablets obviously had no problem with it. The biodegradable foil sometimes sticks to the magazine – when it is a little moisture. But I already have a good trick. I put the tablet on the bottom of the dishwasher.
Eva:
In addition to the fact that I was surprised by the appearance of the tablets (usually are three -color and these are beautifully white), the result was absolutely perfect. But the truth is that in my case, the tablet did not have to fight with any extremely soiled utensils, because it turned into pure only plates and glasses.
Marta:
It is great that the tablets contain all three components, ie that you do not have to pour extra salt and pour the polish. The dishes werehed well, only on the cup remained traces of tea. I would appreciate any smell. Even so, this is a surprisingly high -quality and cost -effective choice compared to common non -ecological products!
3 Questions for Markéta Terčová
Commercial and Marketing Director of Frosch
How should we choose ecological detergents?
Look for natural ingredients in the composition and if you do not know them, you can follow the official European or Czech certificate. These are Ecolable and Ecocert. Such a seal is a guarantee that at least the content of the product is in accordance with sustainable principles.
Can we follow the cover?
Better not. A number of manufacturers will wear the product in white or green, or just slightly modify the original recipe, add a leaf to the cover and pretends that the product is ecological. Strive to find out how individual brands approach the production and composition process and find one that actually meets the requirements of sustainability and ecology. Then it doesn’t matter if you’re looking for a wood cleaner or detergent.
Is there anything else?
Do not only look inside the bottle, but on the entire production process. Interest where the manufacturer buys raw materials and if they do not carry them over half the world. This does not increase the carbon footprint and at the same time supports the local economy. Ask other questions. Does the product contain microplastics? Is it produced on the same line as conventional products? And look at the cover itself. It can also be completely made of recycled material and therefore does not create other unnecessary waste.
