Well, if you use your dishwasher a lot. I think you may consider making your own. This is as simple as mixing equal parts borax and baking soda and adding it to your dishwasher. To make your dishes smell fresh, add a small amount of lemon juice to the rinse bowl. This is a great way to get the dishes clean in a pinch.

If you rather purchase a Dishwasher detergent, then you may want to go with increasing concern about the environment. You naturally want to make the greenest selection. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to determine the most environmentally friendly dishwasher detergent since a complete list of ingredients isn't always included on dishwasher detergent packets. One area of concern is detergents that contain phosphates which are often added to soften the water. Phosphates that end up in the lakes and other bodies of water can potentially have severe environmental consequences. One solution is to buy a detergent that's phosphate free. These can be found at most local natural food markets. One example is Seventh Generation dishwasher powder which contains no phosphates, chlorine, or other toxic substances. It's also not tested on animals.
