Just ok
I use to like this product, but not so much anymore. When i use it, there is always a film left on the dishes. It's hard, because I would prefer to use eco friendly products, but this one doesn't do that great of a job. Will keep looking.

Only ecological dishwasher detergent that cleans tea stains
First of all, I have to say that Cascade is the worst dishwasher detergent on earth. It never gets anything clean and leaves a white ring on everything.This dishwasher detergent not only cleans well, but I was open-mouthed in surprised that it got the tea stains off all our cups--on the first load. I've come to expect this from Palmolive dishwasher detergent, but didn't know if the ECO brand would do the same. The rest of the ecological brands, well, you know the drill. Nice idea, but the load doesn't get clean. That goes for Seventh Generation, Meyers, anything you find at Whole Foods. This stuff stays on my permanent buy list. For people who may have trouble with white deposits, they might want to check their Jet Dry dispenser.I've never had a minute of trouble with Palmolive ECO, so much so that I don't even have to think about it when I unload the dishwasher.

Works well enough
While the ECO Palmolive may not work as well as the mainstream (and less environmentally friendly) products, it does a reasonable job and it is far superior to the 7th generation liquid dish detergent (Note: I find other 7th generation products to be great). I do not have a problem with residue that others noted - it might be a difference in water, how hot you have your water heater set and/or model of dishwasher.

Beware--contains bleach
This does get my dishes pretty clean. Although it is more ecologically friendly than other dishwashing detergents that contain phosphates, it still contains bleach, and that is not very eco-friendly. In my on-going search for a good, ecologically friendly dishwasher detergent, I have started using Method's detergent tabs. Method's tabs can be found at Target. They get my dishes as clean as (maybe cleaner than) this gel, but without the bleach. I have had problems with other eco-friendly detergents not doing a good job, so I am fine with paying a little extra for the Method tabs since they actually work.

Beware of the WHITE FILM!
When you use this product in an area with hard tap water, you will notice a white film building on all your dishes. This white film will thicken with every wash, make your glassware dull and will not be removable by soap and water. I see that scores of people are complaining about this problem (you can search for "Palmolive eco white residue" or read forums discussing the subject). The residue is calcium carbonate. It precipitates from hard water, and it does respond to acids. Therefore your best bet is to round up all your affected dishes and put them through a mildly acidic wash cycle without detergent. Try adding some vinegar to your dishwasher. If you don't have time for this charade, do as I did: Go back to your beloved powder dish detergent.Hope this helps all victims...

Avoid this stuff
This stuff has ruined half of my dishes.. it covers it in a white film that doesn't come off. Just buy the regular Cascade. It's the only one that works. I just threw out a whole bottle of this stuff.
