We used the 5 gallon pail of powder for years. Switches to Tru Earth a few years back to save space but no complaints and very affordable.
As a fellow dishwasher powder ~~cultist~~ enjoyer this was unwelcome news as I was super happy to discover Finish was European.
But also glad you did more research. Nellie’s is outrageously expensive for a commodity product, but also I can’t go back to pods.
Great Value is obviously American, so is Cascade, and apparently Finish too fml.
Nature Clean gel might be the best option for me right now. Or suck it up and go with Nellie’s.
We use the 5 gallon Nellie's laundry powder, works great, lasts several years.
I have a small pouch of Nellie's dishwasher detergent, works great but we usually wash dishes by hand.
I’ve been using the Tru Earth laundry strips for a few years and have been pretty happy.
Rather than the subscription, you can wait for a sale and get a giant box of like 300 strips for around 80 bucks and it’ll last for ages.
Stay away from Tru Earth dish tablets. We love their laundry strips but their tablets do not get our dishes clean.
Damn! I had high hopes they were good across the board. It’s so hard to find simple dishwashing powder anymore. Everyone’s fallen hard for the dissolving pod bandwagon.
Yeah same, still happy with their laundry sheets. Their toilet cleaner sheets, I'm on the fence.

I could only find tablets
This the whole thread is the journey I am on. We used finish, so tried to switch to Tru Earth and after 10 tablets or so of not clean dishes with a layer of grease on them, we moved onto Attitude. After a few problems with our flappy door failing to open and the block being only half dissolved and the rest stuck in the hopper, we have been on a roll of clean dishes so we are hopeful. Also don't take the clear wrapper off them.
I haaate how many brands have switched to those stupid little detergent pods. My local grocery store only has like one brand that still has powder and it's American.
Will definitely take a look into the 'Unscented Company.' Edit: Ah, looks like they only have those 'tabs.' I like the power because you can measure it out.
There was a video on the youtube channel Technology Connections that went viral a few years ago spreading the gospel of the merits of dishwasher powder.
Hopefully the pod trend will reverse! You can use appropriate levels of cleaner and get a better job done of cleaning done for less! No tradeoff.
I just realized that on the Nellie’s clean site that another commenter linked; you can get a bulk order that makes the cost a lot lower, and they have free shipping in Canada that covers a bulk order.
This takes some of the sting out of the cost for me at least. I still wish there was someone selling this as the commodity it is, but I’m satisfied for now.
I don't know about powder for a machine, but we've been getting (hand washing) liquid dish soap from Food basics / metro under their own Selection Eco label.
Made in Canada, biodegradable, smells good, and is quite inexpensive. The Metro company is out of Quebec.
