Free & Clear Automatic Dishwashing Powder Seventh Generation Free & Clear™ Automatic Dishwashing Powder has absolutely no chlorine and no fragrances which can pollute the air in your home. Our new formula has been improved to reduce spotting and filming in hard water, and granulated to ensure that it stays free-flowing, making it much easier to use. Independent tests show our auto dish powder cleans as well as the traditional leading brands but without phosphates or chlorine. No dyes or fragrances. Rinse aid recommended in areas with very hard water. Our Free & Clear automatic dishwasher detergent gets dishes sparkling clean yet is gentle on the earth. Unlike conventional automatic dishwasher detergents, ours won't create fumes that may be irritating to breathe especially for people with allergies or asthma. Wondering Why We Are Not Calling This Product "Natural" Anymore? When we introduced our phosphate-free and chlorine-free Automatic Dishwashing Powder we knew there were two ingredients that were not naturally derived . One was a petroleum-based surfactant and the other a petroleum-based, non-toxic polymer. We felt then, and now, that the environmental advantages of a phosphate-free and chlorine-free autodish product outweighed the disadvantage of including a petroleum-derived ingredient. In 2004 we changed the surfactant and the polymer to what we believed were Natural (plant-derived) alternatives. After packaging was printed, we learned that the non-toxic polymer, in fact, was not replaced by a Natural ingredient. We also learned that the non-toxic polymer is not readily biodegradable. Therefore, we had to remove these claims from our package. We also changed the "No petroleum-derived ingredients" claim to "No petroleum derived cleaners" to acknowledge that the new surfactant is plant-derived although the non-toxic polymer is not. We have been working hard on replacing the non-toxic polymer and restoring our Natural and Biodegradable claims. We need to ensure that the excellent product performance is maintained and have gone through several formulations trying to maintain performance while using more natural and biodegradable ingredients. Once we are able to do this, we will again add these claims back on our packaging. We apologize for the confusion.
