The Green Screen Rating

This score is a ranking based on how natural, eco-friendly, and non-toxic a product is, and is rated out of a possible total 5 stars.

STARS: 4
COMMENTS: This product is an extremely effective dish soap based on plant-derived surfactants, contains no antibacterial agents like Troclosan (which, contrary to popular belief, is NOT healthy for you or the environment- read "Problems with Triclosan"), no protease enzymes, and no synthetic surfactants, which are ittitants. This warning from the manufacturers of Dawn was particularly alarming: "Hazardous waste incineration is necessary for the Ultra versions of these products if disposal is ultimately
warranted." I am certain that I do not want to be washing my dishes with a product that warrants hazardous waste disposal!

Mrs. Meyer's dish soap also does not contain the synthetic foaming and lathering chemicals found in most dish soaps, so you may notice slightly less lathering. This is not a sign of less effectiveness, but rather, Mrs. Meyer's dish soap will rinse more cleanly and reduce the toxic residues that are left on your dishes with other dish soaps. The only non-natural ingredients are the fragrance (which is primarily plant-derived, but does contain a synthetic element) and a synthetic preservative (Mrs. Meyers justifies this by the need to inhibit microbial growth). A very good Green Screen score and fairly economical.

Personal Recommendation

I love this dish soap! It is effective, it smells wonderful, it lathers well, and my hands are not dry and irritated after washing dishes. I also love knowing that I am not leaving behind any toxic residues on my dishes. Mrs. Meyer's uses no antibacterial agents, such as Triclosan, and that is a good thing. Follow the link "Problems with Triclosan" to learn why chossing natural dish soaps is so important.
