Wannabee's  Eco friendly Dishwashing Powder is highly effective and safe for your dishwasher, septic system, our waterways, your health, and your dishes.
Our waterways are very important to me, and commercial detergents are a toxic mess to both flora and fauna.  If aquatic plant life is being contaminated and fish consume it, just imagine the toxins we consume when we eat fish!  Using more eco friendly detergents make a hugely positive difference.
Toxic ingredients in commercial detergents and pods can cause a variety of negative effects from skin irritation, an allergic reaction, and eye damage to triggering asthma, as well as being harmful when entering rivers, lakes, and oceans. Here are a few names to look out for:
Bleaching agents like sodium hypochlorite.
Chlorine such as sodium dichloroisocyanurate.
Formaldehyde which may appear on labels as methanol, methyl aldehyde, and methylene oxide.
Preservatives like methylisothiazolinone. It can even be found in products labeled as natural.
Surfactants (which make foam) like sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate, commonly found in shampoos, can also be found in detergents
Sodium metasilicate is caustic and can cause skin burns, eye damage, and respiratory problems.
Triclosan is an antibacterial agent that is a known endocrine disruptor and as it is bioaccumulative, meaning it stays in our bodies and accumulates each time we use a product with it as an ingredient, can persist in your body and the environment.
