Related: About this forumSo disappointed in Costco
Been buying their "environmentally friendly" handwashing dish detergent for years. They no longer carry it. They carry something called "Shine". No environmental labing. Husband bought it. I'm returning it.
Not only that, according to the Environmental Working Group, the "environmentally friendly" detergent actually wasn't..
I'm spending over an hour seeking a substitute. Not something busy families can do.
Fuck.
Any ideas, DU hive mind? Is this just a losing proposition?

not easy to track down postable pics on my phone.
We camp a lot. We use this for dishes, clothes, personal hygiene
practically anything that needs a soap. We prefer the unscented. Rinses easily, just requires a few drops, leaves no residue.
As an aside, when needed, we can cook a simple meal, wash dishes, and rinse dishes on about 3 liters of water

We used to be members at Costco but with only two of us was a lot of bulk. And they were carrying less environmentally kind things. Left about 5 years ago.

(1,445 posts)I think they had some small store fronts but I live rurally so order online.
What I like about them is that you can narrow your searches and they give a lot of detail about the products.
I order all of household cleaning products from them as well as lots of other things too like food stuffs.

(556 posts)Most dishwashing soaps are pretty benign. The elimination of phosphates was one of the last big hurdles. Sulfate-based soaps arent perfect, but they are pretty safe.

(4,268 posts)Do you know why they dropped this product? Was it some nefarious plot to deprive the world of environmentally friendly products?
Have you suggested better products and asked Costco to carry them?
