Seventh Generation Free & Clear Auto Dishwasher Detergent Powder - 45oz: No Fragrance Added, Dye-Free, Phosphate-Free

A: I’m no expert, but I think more plastic would be in the pods, which are covered in a plastic wrap that disintegrates during the wash, and potentially traces can end up left on your dishes and silverware. This is one reason why people avoid the pods and only use the loose dishwashing powder.

A: Hi JC, we appreciate your query regarding which option has more plastic per load, a powdered detergent box or detergent pods with their packaging. We’re committed to delivering high quality experiences, and your input is valuable to us. Your satisfaction is important to us. Please connect with our Consumer Services team at (Consumer.Services@Unilever.com) with your contact details and the ref ID: (52896139), so we can address your concerns promptly.

A: It's actually a lot more than what the 'expert' says. The pods from the same brand are 0.5289 oz each, and if you use the equivalent amount of powder, for a box of 45 oz you get 85 loads.

A: Thanks for reaching out about our Free + Clear Auto Dishwasher Detergent! Based on volume of product and that standard dishwasher detergent compartments hold 1 oz. of detergent, will handle 45 loads. Actual loads handled can vary, based on size of load and amount of detergent used, based on how heavily soiled dishes are. We hope this helps!
