Method Smarty Dish Plus Dishwasher Detergent Packs Tough loads are no match for Smarty Dish Plus, with triple-action cleaning power. Each naturally derived detergent power pack dissolves fast, unleashing mineral-based cleaners to target tough stains and tackle stubbornly sticky food, even in hard water - all without phosphates or chlorine bleach. What’s That Smell? Method believes clean smells free and clear of perfumes and dyes. In a world where cleaning products often smell at best, bland and boring, and at worst, noxious and offensive, Method takes pride in making products that smell great. About Method Founded in 2000, Method creates premium and design-driven home, fabric, and personal care products. Formulated with naturally derived, biodegradable ingredients, Method cleaners put the hurt on dirt. Method is headquartered in San Francisco, CA. Non-Toxic Method believes in happy, healthy homes where potentially toxic chemicals don’t live. That’s why every ingredient used in Method products is comprehensively evaluated by independent environmental research institute MBDC (McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry) for people and planet safety. Phosphate-Free While phosphate is a naturally occurring nutrient and a cheap and effective way to clean dishes, it also acts as plant food. When it gets into waterways via waste water, it can cause algae to grow more rapidly, resulting in slimy, stinky rivers and lakes, starving fish and other aquatic life of oxygen. It’s an ingredient that Method doesn’t use. Biodegradable* Method uses ingredients and formulas that degrade into simple and benign components in the environment and follows the highest technical standard for defining biodegradability, whereby at least 70% of organic ingredients break down within 28 days. Cradle To Cradle Cradle to Cradle is Method’s mantra for the design of products. That means Method products - how they’re designed, what’s in them, and where they go after use - are all assessed to help support the company in creating products that are “more good,” not simply “less bad.” Never Tested On Animals Method believes guinea pigs should never be used as guinea pigs. The company performs absolutely no animal testing on any of its products and does not endorse, request, nor commission any animal testing on its behalf. The company is CCIC Leaping Bunny Program approved. Public Benefit Corporation Method believes in using the power of business to create positive social and environmental change. As a public benefit corporation, Method has legally incorporated into its practices the company’s commitment to people, the environment, and stakeholders. *In order for liquid products to biodegrade, they must be able to breakdown in your municipality’s wastewater treatment facility. You can check with your local utility service to confirm whether or not such treatment for biodegradable liquids is possible in your area. In order for solid products to biodegrade, they must be broken into small pieces and left uncovered in the sunlight. Disposing of a biodegradable product in your normal trash, where it will eventually be disposed of in a landfill, will not allow the product to biodegrade.
