Directions from Packaging

Pull tab to open package & remove product. Place one pre-measured capsule in the main detergent cup and close. It is important that both QUANTUM and the detergent cup are dry. The capsules are wrapper-free and are designed to release their contents when they come into contact with water. Do not pierce or attempt to unwrap the capsules. Close packaging lid tightly. Store away from heat and moisture to protect the remaining capsules. Make sure all items are dishwasher safe and separate silver from stainless steel. Wash metal items according to manufacturer's instructions. The optimal water temperature is between 125-140 degrees F. Use on full wash cycle only. In hard water conditions, it may be necessary to continue to use FINISH JET-DRY Rinse Agent for optimal results. SAFE TO USE ON CHINA AND GLASSWARE


Warnings

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. CAUTION: HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. EYE IRRITANT. Avoid contact with eyes. DO NOT ingest.

This product is not certified as a green cleaner.

Unknown:

Leading international certifiers PETA and Leaping Bunny have no information concerning this company’s use of animal testing.



Understanding scores

EWG provides information on cleaning product ingredients from the published scientific literature, to supplement incomplete data available from companies and the government. The ratings indicate the relative level of concern posed by exposure to the ingredients in this product - not the product itself - compared to other product formulations. The ratings reflect potential health hazards but do not account for the level of exposure or individual susceptibility, factors which determine actual health risks, if any.

HOW WE DETERMINE SCORES

Hazard score

The Healthy Cleaning ingredient hazard score, from A to F, reflects known and suspected hazards linked to the ingredients. The EWG VERIFIED® mark means a product meets EWG’s strictest criteria for transparency and health.

Score legend
WEIGHT-OF-EVIDENCE APPROACH

A product’s hazard score is not an average of the ingredients’ hazard scores. It is calculated using a weight-of-evidence approach that factors in all of the hazards or health impacts associated with the ingredients.
