I want to start the week a bit differently than usual! Today, I want to talk about one of the most crucial aspects of home cooking—doing the dishes. For me, having squeaky clean dishes is absolutely essential. So when I got the chance to try Dirty Lab’s bio enzyme dishwasher detergent, I was thrilled!

Long story short, I couldn't be happier with the results. Not only does it contain all-natural, biodegradable ingredients, but it also tackles even the toughest-to-clean dishes with ease. But what really blows my mind about Dirty Labs is that their detergent doesn't leave that chemical smell on the dishes. They just smell clean and fresh.

Yes, I’ll have to order my detergents all the way from the US from now on, but it’s totally worth it.
