Free & Clear Dishwasher Packs - 12.7 oz
Cadia Everyday Free & Clear Dishwasher Packs deliver a biodegradable, USDA Certified Biobased clean with zero phosphates, chlorine bleach, dyes, or synthetic fragrance — because getting your dishes spotless shouldn't mean bringing harsh chemicals into your kitchen. Found exclusively at independent neighborhood grocers, this pack is sustainably sourced, so every load works as hard for your dishes as it does for your home and community.
- Pre-measured, dissolvable packs go straight into the dispenser — no scooping, no spilling, no guessing on dose — for grease-cutting power on baked-on food residue in any standard dishwasher cycle.
- Built on plant- and mineral-derived active ingredients (including a grease-fighting protease enzyme) instead of petroleum-based synthetic surfactants, wrapped in a water-soluble film that dissolves fully in the wash.
- Free of phosphates, chlorine, synthetic dyes, and synthetic fragrance — a cruelty-free formula safe to use in households with kids and pets underfoot.
Cadia Everyday makes it possible for your neighborhood grocer to stock the same clean-ingredient standards you'd expect from a big-box shelf — without the big-box markup or the big-box supply chain. These Free & Clear Dishwasher Packs are part of that promise: a USDA Certified Biobased, biodegradable, non-toxic dishwasher detergent formula built to get dishes spotless without leaving a chemical residue behind.
Each single-use pack is pre-measured and wrapped in a water-soluble film, so there's no scooping, no liquid to spill, and no guessing how much detergent your load actually needs. The active cleaning ingredients — sodium carbonate, sodium metasilicate, and a protease enzyme that breaks down protein-based food residue — are plant- and mineral-derived rather than pulled from petroleum feedstocks, and the formula skips phosphates, chlorine bleach, synthetic dyes, and synthetic fragrance entirely.
Drop one pack in the detergent dispenser before running a normal or heavy-duty cycle; there's no pre-rinse required for most everyday loads, and the film dissolves fully so nothing but the cleaning agents hit your dishes. Because the formula is fragrance-free and dye-free, it's a straightforward switch for households managing sensitivities or simply trying to keep unnecessary chemicals out of the kitchen.
Store the pack in a dry place away from moisture so the water-soluble film stays intact until you're ready to use it, and keep it out of reach of children given its concentrated cleaning ingredients.
Ingredients: Sodium Chloride, Sodium Carbonate, Citric Acid*, Sodium Sulfate*, Sodium Carbonate Peroxide*, Sodium Citrate*, Alkoxylated Alcohols*, Sodium Silicate*, Sodium Metasilicate*, Protease Enzyme, and Polyvinyl Alcohol Film. *Plant and Mineral-Derived Ingredients.
Common Questions
How is this different from a conventional dishwasher detergent pack?
Conventional dishwasher packs commonly rely on chlorine bleach for stain removal, synthetic fragrance for scent, and phosphates as water softeners. This pack skips all three while still using a protease enzyme and mineral-based builders like sodium metasilicate to break down grease and food residue. It's also USDA Certified Biobased, meaning a verified percentage of its ingredients are derived from renewable plant and mineral sources rather than petroleum.
What actually cuts through baked-on grease in this formula?
The protease enzyme targets protein-based food residue (egg, dairy, meat) by breaking down protein bonds so they rinse away rather than baking onto dishware. Alkoxylated alcohols act as the surfactant system, lifting grease off surfaces, while sodium carbonate and sodium metasilicate work as water softeners that keep mineral deposits from redepositing on glassware.
Is this dishwasher pack safe for households with kids or pets?
The formula is free of chlorine bleach, synthetic dyes, and synthetic fragrance, and it's formulated without animal testing. As with any concentrated dishwasher detergent, the packs should be stored out of reach of children and pets and used only in the dishwasher dispenser, not handled directly with wet hands.
How do I use the pack for the best results?
Place one dissolvable pack in the detergent dispenser and run a normal or heavy-duty cycle — no pre-measuring or pre-rinsing is typically needed for everyday loads. For heavily soiled cookware, scrape off large food particles first so the enzyme and surfactant system can focus on grease and residue rather than solid debris.
What does USDA Certified Biobased actually verify?
USDA Certified Biobased is a federal certification program that verifies the percentage of a product's ingredients derived from renewable plant, animal, or mineral sources rather than petroleum. The certification requires third-party laboratory testing of the finished product, not just a self-reported ingredient claim, which is why it's a stronger trust signal than an unverified 'plant-based' label alone.
Why choose the Free & Clear version instead of a scented dishwasher pack?
Free & Clear formulas remove synthetic fragrance and dyes entirely, which matters for anyone managing fragrance sensitivities, small children's skin exposure to residue on dishware, or simply preferring not to introduce unnecessary synthetic compounds into daily kitchen use. The cleaning performance comes from the enzyme and surfactant system, not from fragrance masking food odors.
Is the packaging around each pack safe to touch or does it need to go straight in the dishwasher?
The pack is wrapped in a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film designed to dissolve fully in water during the wash cycle. It should be handled with dry hands and placed directly in the dispenser rather than left out in humid conditions, since moisture will begin dissolving the film before the cycle starts.
