Directions from Packaging

FOR BEST RESULTS Read the manufacturer's instruction booklet that came with your dishwasher, then follow these simple directions: Load Dishes Properly. Soiled surfaces should face spray. Do not block spray to top rack. Fill All Cups Completely For heavily soiled dishes or hard water, use slightly more detergent. Use less detergent for very soft water. Avoid Dishware Damage; Separate stainless steel from sterling silver. Do not spill detergent directly onto silver items. Detergent may cause dark spots (removable with silver polish). Check Water Heater Temperature. Optimal water temperature is 140ºF or 60ºC. Pre-soak When Required. For tough to clean cookware, soak in a solution of 1 tablespoon FINISH Detergent to 1 quart hot water (do not pre-soak silver or cast iron items).

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.
