Nellie's Dishwasher Powder

When we load our dishwashers, we expect a lot from the machines and dishwashing agents we choose.  We want our dishes to be clean, spotless and prevent limescale.  To get the result we desire, we invest in dishwasher liquids, powders, tabs, and rinse aids, all promising the best results.   
 
Did you know that these products, especially rinse aids contain chemical phosphates and surfactants, which lower the surface tension of water and place a waterproof layer on your dishes? This helps dishes dry faster and appear spot-free.  While this achieves a tremendous visual result, we don’t think it makes sense to coat dishes and utensils with harmful chemicals - and then eat off them! 
 
At Nellie’s, we strive to create planet-friendly products that keep you and your family safe. Our Dishwasher Powder and Dishwasher Nuggets are biodegradable, septic safe, and phosphate-free. Our Dishwasher Powders are super concentrated and packed with cleaning power, so one small scoop per load is all you need! 
 

 
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! 
 Of course, we too want spotless dishes, something that can be achieved without chemical rinse aids!  

 

 
 

Tips for getting clear, sparkling dishes when using a planet-friendly dishwasher detergent: 

• Do NOT overload the dishwasher 
• Rinse heavy food residue from cutlery and dishes 
• Do NOT overuse dishwashing detergent 
• Place a cup of distilled white vinegar (with 5% or less acidity) in a bowl on the bottom rack of the dishwasher during the rinse cycle  

 
Fun Fact: We love that our products have multiple uses. Did you know that you can use Nellie’s Dishwasher Nuggets to clean your tub’s whirlpool jets? 

1. Fill the tub until jets are covered by 2-3 inches of hot water.
2. Toss in 2x Nellie's Dishwasher Nuggets.
3. Run the tub's jets for 15 minutes.
4. Empty tub and refill (cold water is okay).
5. Run jets for 15 minutes and wipe clean with a non-abrasive cloth.

Earth Month With Nellies!

 
Happy Earth Month! As a company, Nellie’s strives to make planet friendly, simple, and honest products for your whole home!
This Earth Month (and always) our commitment to you is to stay true to the following guidelines when developing new products.
 

PLANET FRIENDLY
Striving to keep the environment as spotless as your home
 

SIMPLE
Simplifying your daily life with safe, clean formulas and easy-to-use products
 

HONEST
Providing transparency in our ingredients and developing products that work
 
 
Earth Day is a great time to make the switch to planet-friendly cleaning.  It doesn’t have to be overwhelming; one small change is all it takes!
We’ve put together some sustainable switches, to help you get started.
 
 
 

 

Nellie’s Re-usable Tote:

Here in North Vancouver, BC (where Nellie’s HQ is located), the use of plastic bags has been banned.  A great switch for any household, wherever you live, is to use re-usable bags. The Nellie’s Tote Bag is sturdy, water resistant and great for a whole lot more than groceries! To help you take the first step - or continue your planet-friendly journey, on Earth Day (April 22^nd), we will include a complimentary Nellie’s Reusable Tote with every purchase!

 
 
 
 
 

Nellie’s Laundry Soda:

We don’t believe in shipping water around the world. With just 4 ingredients and containing no phosphates, fillers, or chemicals, our HE Certified Laundry Soda is safe for your skin and the environment.  Nellie’s powder Laundry Soda is super concentrated, dissolves clear and requires just one small scoop per regular sized load!  Our packaging is reusable and refillable making this product a great step in the right direction.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Nellie’s Lamby Wool Dryerballs:

Chemical fabric softeners and toxic dryer sheets contain harmful chemicals and fragrances, adhere to clothes, vent into the air, and rub off on skin. Nellie’s Dryerballs provide an easy solution.  Made with 100% New Zealand Lambswool, our Dryerballs lift and separate clothes creating airflow reducing drying time. The natural wool softens fibres and reduces static – and they last over 2 years, the equivalent of over 1000 dryer sheets! Our Dryerball Tin even has a piggy bank slot! A gentle reminder of all the money saved with this switch!
 
 
 
 
 
 

Nellie’s Dishwasher Powder: 

Washing dishes with chemical products and then using them to eat off, probably isn’t the best idea. Nellie’s Dishwasher Powder is the perfect solution. Planet-Friendly, concentrated, and packed with power, dishes will be clean and safe for mealtime.  Our packaging is plastic-free, reusable, and refillable making this another step in the right direction.

WOW! It’s been a long couple of years of hanging out at home.  You’ve binge-watched The Home Edit and watched reel after reel of organizing and cleaning videos.  If you are like us, we are ready to deep clean our spaces and head outside to enjoy everything Spring has to offer!
You may have already started your deep clean or maybe need a little nudge in the right direction - either way, Nellie’s is here to help! Did you know that Nellie’s products have multiple uses?  We have put together a guide on how to use your favorite Nellie’s products to tackle this year’s big clean!
We recommend breaking up your clean over a few weeks to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Start with the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room appliances, then move room by room, cleaning the surfaces.
We’ve put together a guide to ensure your space is in tip-top shape, using safe, effective products that get the job done!
 
What you will need:

• Nellie’s Oxygen Brightener
• Nellie’s Dishwasher Powder or Nellie’s Dishwasher Nuggets
• Nellie’s Shower & Bath Cleaner
• Nellie’s All-Purpose Cleaner

 

 
Kitchen Oven
For a non-toxic oven cleaning hack, make a paste with one scoop of Oxygen Brightener and a little hot water and apply to the oven with a sponge or cleaning cloth. Let sit for a few hours and rinse off with a clean cloth and water.  The sodium percarbonate will oxidize the stain and lift off the residue, while the sodium carbonate will neutralize any fatty acid.
 

 
Bathroom Grout and Shower Tiles
To clean tiles and grout, make a paste of 1 scoop of Oxygen Brightener and a little hot water. Use an old toothbrush and some elbow grease to tackle the grout. Rinse thoroughly with a soft cloth and clean water.
To deep clean your shower head, combine one scoop of Dishwasher Powder (or the contents of one Dishwasher Nugget) + 2 oz of Shower & Bath Cleaner and a few cups of hot water in a plastic bag.  Use an elastic to secure the bag around the shower head.  Ensure the shower head is immersed in the liquid.  Let sit for a few hours.  The citric acid in the Shower & Bath Cleaner will help unclog the shower head, clean off any mildew and remove hard water deposits and rust scale.
 

 
Porcelain (Sinks, Bathtub & Toilet)
Nellie’s Shower & Bath was made for porcelain surfaces!  Spray the solution onto shower tiles, bathtub, toilet, and sink. Allow the solution to sit for 15 minutes.  Rub or scour the surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge and rinse with water.  Avoid using abrasive cloths that may scratch the surface.
Tip! If you have a jet tub, try filling the tub with hot water and tossing in 2 x Dishwasher Nuggets for a safe, deep clean of your jets.
 

 
Washer and Dryer:
Nellie’s Laundry Soda does not contain fillers; therefore, you won’t generate build up in your washer or dispenser, eliminating the need for special cleaners.  We do recommend keeping the door of your front loaders open to avoid mildew!
Once you are done deep cleaning the “big things,” continue cleaning each room using Nellie’s All-Purpose Cleaner, Shower & Bath Cleaner and Toilet Bowl Cleaner on surfaces, walls, and toilets!
Follow us on Instagram and stay tuned to learn how Nellie’s Products can also deep clean your outside spaces!
Happy Spring!
