Julia Child once said, “with enough butter, anything is good”. At Nellie’s, that includes dish duty!

Nellie’s Dish Butter: a semi-solid, zero-waste alternative to liquid dish soap that comes in an adorable (and reusable) ceramic container. A little goes a long way, so you don’t need much. Wet a brush or dishcloth or sponge, gently dab the Dish Butter - and wash away!

Tip & Drain any excess liquid from your Dish Butter container (over the last few dishes) before drying it out.

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!

Coconut Amide MEA, Stearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Caprylate/Caprate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate, Sodium Alpha Olefin Sulfonate, Lactic Acid, Lemongrass Fragrance, Purified Water.

Using a dish brush or dish cloth, gently pick up a small amount of dish butter solution. This product is concentrated and should last the equivalent of 3 x bottles of leading brand liquid dish detergent. Leave lid off and air out your Dish Butter after every use. Re-use or re-purpose container keeping it out of the landfill and our waterways. Imperfections, chips, cracks, fissures and roughness on the butter may occur when drying, this is normal.

Let’s end the plastic era for good.
