Directions from Packaging

Keep product fresh by closing the spout when not in use. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent caking. How to get the best results from Planet Automatic Dishwasher Detergent: 1 - Load Dishes Properly. Load dishes so the dirty sides face the spray. Do not block spray to the top rack. 2 - Fill All Dispenser Cups. Use slightly more detergent if you have heavily soiled dishes or hard water. Use less detergent if you have very soft water. 3 - Separate Your Silverware. Avoid damage by separating stainless steel from silverware. Do not spill detergent directly onto silver. 4 - Check Water Temperature. Water temperature should be at least 140 F (60 C) for best results. 5 - Pre-Soak if Needed. Pre-soak hard to clean cookware with a solution of 1 tbsp. detergent to 1 pint of hot water. Do not pre-soak cast iron or silver items. Always follow dishwasher manufacturer's instructions, and make sure items are dishwasher safe before using this product.

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.
