Fragrance-free, dye-free, EPA Safer Choice certified. The bottle that lives next to our sink for everyday dishes.
Plant-based concentrate. A few drops in a sink of hot water handles cast iron, roasting pans, and the worst of the cooked-on stuff. Lasts forever because you use so little per wash.
Plant-based formula. Refills ship in paper cartons instead of plastic bottles, so you're not throwing away another bottle every six weeks. Mild scent, gentle on hands.
Why fragrance-free or Safer Choice?
The shortcut on the label is simpler than the "clean dish soap" category makes it look. Fragrance-free formulas skip the synthetic scent mixes — useful if anyone in the house has sensitive skin, eczema, or asthma, since fragrance is a top trigger for all three. The EPA's Safer Choice program independently reviews ingredient lists against criteria for human health and the environment; products that carry the label have cleared that bar. Both signals are easy to spot on the back of a bottle.
How much to actually use
Most people use about three times more dish soap than they need. The cleaner formulas above are also more concentrated than conventional brands — a half-pump in a sink of hot water is plenty for a full load of dishes. Dr. Bronner's Sal Suds is the most concentrated of the three; start with five drops, not a squeeze.
