Does anyone know of any all-natural dishwasher detergents that really work?

I have tried to replace my household cleaners with more natural versions over the past few months. Everything's working out wonderfully EXCEPT the dishwasher detergent. I've tried Ultra Citra Dish and I'm not impressed. The only good result is that I've got to wash the dishes so thoroughly before I put them in the washer (otherwise they end up still dirty) that I don't even bother putting them in the washer and just put them away, so I'm sure I've cut down on the use of that appliance, but there are some dishes I'd prefer to use the washer for, so... any good dishwasher detergents that REALLY work and are all-natural?

1. I LOVE Seventh Generation's brand dish washing liquid. Smells great and works, too! The carry it at Whole Foods Markets, some Target store (where it is much cheaper) and online at http://www.gaiam.com and http://amazon.com now carries 7 gen products, too! Also love their fabric softener!! Good luck!!
2. It took me 7 years to finally make the decision to go green with my household cleaners I tried all of the grocery store "green" stuff and I couldn't find one that I liked. I signed up for Melaleuca 3 years ago and I love the stuff. It's all natural and biodegradable. It's all concentrated and it costs the same as regular cleaners if not cheaper. The dishwasher detergent works the best - I have yet to see a spot on my glasses or dishes! and I only use 1/3 of what I would use from a regular detergent. If you know someone who sells it - ask if you can try a few things before you decide to sign up. Or you can check out the website: www.melaleuca.ca good luck finding the right stuff!
3. The seventh generation brand should have a website, you may wish to check that.
4. I sat looking at your question trying So hard to remember the name...Hmmm "I know it's 7th...WHAT!?...7th....? Then (duh) I scrolled down...Saw the first answer.. 7th Generation. The other "organics" at Target are fine too. I will look (or should I?) at the other answers before I respond. I kind of like not looking. So that I know my answer is not influenced by others. Stupid?
5. I must agree. I love seventh generation products!!!!!!! You can buy it practically anywhere. I buy it from my lpcal grocery store ( shaw's). Happy, healthy cleaning!
