Directions from Packaging

For best results shake well before pouring. 1. Load Dishes Properly: Soiled surfaces should face spray. Do not block spray to top rack. 2. Fill All Cups Completely: Use hot water with every load. Use more Palmolive gel for very hard water; less for soft water. 3. Sterling Silverware Care: Separate sterling silver from stainless steel. Avoid spilling directly on silver items; this may cause dark spots (removable with silver polish). 4. For Tough Cleaning Jobs: Pretreat by applying Palmolive gel directly to dishes.; Palmolive gel dishwasher detergent is safe for septic tanks.

Understanding scores

EWG provides information on cleaning product ingredients from the published scientific literature, to supplement incomplete data available from companies and the government. The ratings indicate the relative level of concern posed by exposure to the ingredients in this product - not the product itself - compared to other product formulations. The ratings reflect potential health hazards but do not account for the level of exposure or individual susceptibility, factors which determine actual health risks, if any.

HOW WE DETERMINE SCORES

Hazard score

The Healthy Cleaning ingredient hazard score, from A to F, reflects known and suspected hazards linked to the ingredients. The EWG VERIFIED® mark means a product meets EWG’s strictest criteria for transparency and health.
