Sure, we could use flashy, attention-grabbing words like ‘platinum’ or ‘quantum’ or ‘super-platinum-ultimate-quantum-mega-power-plus’ to describe our dish cubes...but here at Nellie’s, we believe less is more. As in, less plastic, more planet friendly. Less ‘filler’, more highly concentrated cleaning power. Less ‘toxic’, more natural clean. Our dish cubes are convenient, space-saving, PVA-free and highly effective on grease and grime. If that isn’t the ultimate most mega-power way to do your dishes, we don’t know what is.

Why Powder?
Liquid detergents are made up largely of water. At Nellie’s, we don’t think selling and moving water around the planet is a very good idea. The fact is, more cleaning power can be packed into a smaller space using powder.

Our story:
Nellie’s was inspired by you guessed it, Nellie! She was a big believer of green cleaning and valued using simple, honest, and effective products. Therefore, her son, James, created an entire line of cleaning products free of toxins and phosphates to honor her. All items are planet friendly, concentrated, and highly effective, helping to keep the planet as spotless as your home!

Sodium Carbonate, Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Sodium Carbonate Peroxide, C12-14 Alcohols Ethoxylated Propoxylated, Sodium Metasilicate, Sodium Sulfate, Protease Enzyme, Amylase Enzyme, Water.

Place one cube into dispenser compartment and close. Be sure to handle with dry hands. Store in a cool, dry space.
