I wish I could leave a 5 star review, as I am generally an avocate for natural products, but this just doesn't cut the mustard, literally. I find that even if I wash the dishes completely before cycling them, they come out with a dull film that looks worse than before. I'm sure they are "clean" but I wouldn't want to serve my dishes to company like that. My compromise is to use Cascade to brighten everything up if I'm having guests. It does smell great, but that doesn't lift my mood as much as re-washing dishes brings it down! All the other Mrs. Meyers products I have tried have been great. I just wouldn't recomend this to anyone with lots of minerals in their water.

This review is referring to the lemon verbena gel product.
After using this soap for 3 months I have to say I am dissappointed. The dishes didn't come out clean. The scent remained on the dishes after washing. I don't like drinking my morning coffee with the scent of lemon verbena strongly wafting up my nose. This must mean that the product doesn't rinse off very well even with a fairly new dishwasher in good working condition and with the use of a rinse aid. Maybe it is the water in my area- who knows? Of course, I bought a case of the stuff and luckily I had found online another use for it. It is supposed to work well as a toilet cleaner. Anyway, I will be continuing my search for the perfect eco friendly dishwashing detergent. I am glad it works well for some of you.

"Includes a pleasant fragrance to fill your kitchen with freshness" - This products are SO STINKY we had to wash our dishes several times afterward using this product to get the smell out of the dishes and the kitchen. If you enjoy drinking a cup of tea and smelling your dishwasher soap, then by all means, this is the product for you. If you are chemically sensitive, stay away from all Mrs. Meyers products. Their "aromatherapy" is not good for anyone.

I love everything else I've tried from Mrs. Meyer's, but this stuff is awful. It doesn't matter HOW much you use. We have a water softener, and the soap still leaves a terrible film on everything. Stuff looks filthy when its done in the dishwasher, especially silverware. Also, poor marks for actually cleaning the dishes. Stuff like coffee, not dried on. If I have to wash the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, and again after its done to get rid of the film?!! I think not. I sure wish I didn't still have so much of this.

My whole house smells so good when I wash dishes. And they do come clean. We have well water - extremely hard - and I find it better or comparable to other dishwashing liquids.

I've been using 7th generation for a bit and I was getting tired of the grit left behind on glassware so I decided to give Mrs. Meyers a try. I was ready to love this, I truly was. However I was in for a rude awakening as their auto dish soap is among the worst I've ever used.

Whenever we use this, everything comes out with a film. Everything. The glassware, the mugs, the plates - there is always this thin film that requires me to further rinse the dishes before use. Now this is annoying. As if this wasn't bad enough, my regular knives come out dirtier than when they were put in! I have no idea how this happens but almost every knife has this strange white, milky residue. And maybe a green bit or two. The spoons tend to be worse. However, the forks are fine (go figure). Now before this gets chalked up to me and bad dishwasher habits, every other auto dish soap I've used has never had this problem. None. I simply do not understand what's going on.

Finally, we grabbed the Lavender soap by accident. I tend to prefer my dishes to not have any smell, but heck I don't mind florals. I'm not sure what Lavender plant they are trying to mimic but they really picked a stinky one. When the dishwasher is on, I need to leave the room as the smell gets too intense. Once the dishes are done, the odour is very minimal but still present.

Overall I want to help the environment but I also want clean kitchenware. I'll continue my search for an automatic dish soap that is both ok with the environment and good at cleaning since Mrs Meyers truly isn't working.

So I love the Mrs Meyers products in general and use all of the housecleaning products. I decided to use the diswashing liquid because it got pretty good reviews. Well I'm not sure what those folks saw but what I saw were simple rings in my coffee cups that would be easy to remove with Cascade. It did a lousy job cleaning any of our dishes and we generally rinse our dishes before they go into the dishwasher. Don't waste your money on this.

I love the way this smells. It fills the kitchen with such a nice aroma. It actually cleaned all my dishes, pots/pans included. Everything was sparkling clean and fresh. I used less of this than my normal automatic dish soap. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a healthier, effective dishwasher detergent.

I found another use for this yesterday and I had to share it. This is the best bathroom cleaner I have ever used! This cleaned the sink so well. It was the BEST toilet bowl cleaner I have ever used! The bathroom smelled so fresh when I was done, it made doing bathroom duty a real treat. So just another use for this great dishwashing liquid. A little goes a long way.

I tried this dishwasher detergent in geranium and I must say... it smells heavenly. Unfortunately I am not one who prewashes my dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, and this only did a so-so job on actually cleaning the dishes. Not terrible, but some dishes (particularly those that held anything oily) were left with a faint, whiteish film.

Not at all satisfied with Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Automatic Dishwashing Liquid. I use many other products from Mrs. Meyer's and am very satisfied. This product just does not get the dishes clean without putting them in the dishwasher already basically clean after a thorough rinse. Still looking for an environmentally friendly dishwashing liquid or powder.
