![Beyond Auto Dishwasher Tablets [32 tablets] - Fragrance & Dye Free - Certified Biobased. Powerful. Plant-Based Ingredients](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71NV+DWDIXL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
I had been searching for a product that works after the required reformulation of dishwasher detergents a few years ago. I found that Cascade Platinum worked great but was extremely fragranced, to the point that the storage cupboard smelled, even with the package sealed shut. When using the Cascade, the dishwasher and dishes themselves also smelled and you could taste the detergent when drinking from glasses. I could not stand having the Cascade in the house.
It can be hit or miss when it comes to some of the natural detergents/cleaners. I was very happy to find that this Ecover Zero works great! I use 1/2 of a tablet and dishes, including glasses, get very clean with no food residue and no detergent residue/smell. I unwrap the tablets (kind of a pain and not environmentally friendly that they are individually plastic wrapped), cut in half (score both sides with a table knife and then press down) and store the 1/2s in a glass jelly jar so they are ready to use. I have stopped rinsing dishes before loading and I rarely have any dishes or silverware to rewash due to food residue. I really like that this product is unscented and leaves no smell on dishes. It is also biodegradable / eco-friendly.
I would recommend trying this product with 1/2 tablet for no detergent residue on dishes, but I'm sure performance varies depending on brand and age of dishwashers.
Updated 12/31/15 to add method for cutting in half that I posted to another review comments. Also adding that I still love this product and am reordering.
To cut tablets in half... I do this on the floor since it does take some pressure to press down on the tablet. Note: this method works for me - use your own judgement and do at your own risk when cutting your own Ecover tablets.
Remove tablet from plastic wrapping and put onto a flat metal plate/tray or other firm surface (that you do not care about possibly damaging in the process) to contain dust. Score the tablet by sawing a line with a table knife (or sharper knife if your table knife is very dull) on one large flat side of the tablet (saw back and forth over the line until it is maybe 1/16 or 1/8" deep) then flip over and score a line on the opposite side. Then press straight down onto the line with the table knife or use the end of the tines of a fork and the tablet should break in half (this may take a fair amount of pressure, depending on the depth of the line. If too difficult, continue sawing the line deeper first). Alternately, you could also continue sawing the line on the second side until the tablet breaks in half. There will likely be a small amount of powder generated from the sawing process but just add it into the dishwasher detergent compartment to use it up. This method works to cut tablets fairly nicely in half. If you do not care so much about having more equal halves, just pressing down onto the tablet with high force should work, eg using a metal putty knife and a hammer.
I cut a bunch of tablets in half at once and store in a repurposed Bonne Maman jelly jar.

****DONT FOLLOW INSTRUCTUONS ON THE BOX LISTEN TO ME****
I gave this a terrible review and then updated it. When you use the amount of powder they recommend it leaves soap residue on the dishes. I put in half or a third and they come out literally perfect. Shiny clear glass. I've never had dish detergent work this well honestly.I used to use the little individual packets but those were hard to open and waste so much plastic. Love it now.ALSO they use the little pull out metal spout so it pours well too and I dont make a mess.
