I'm nearly out of dishwashing soap. What are some good European brands?

I would like to find an alternative to dreft, preferably widely available in supermarkets or other common stores

Normal dish washing soap is a very generic product. So I just buy the store brands. Here they are all near identical, and all are made in EU.
Just remember to always buy the concentrated ones.
Expensive brands are not better, and they most likely aren't significantly more environmentally friendly either, even if they claim to be.

If it's for machines, it's a bit more complicated.

If it’s for machines, it’s a bit more complicated.

According to this video, it's actually even easier with machines: just get the cheapest powder you can find. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHP942Livy0

True, but nobody carries powder here anymore. 🙄

I fare quite well with Everdrop Products (includes dishwashing soap, soap, cleaning sprays, laundry detergents,...) Not only European, but also eco-friendly (the tabs and powders get disolved into various cleaning products)

Thanks! This looks good and it's available at one of the nearby supermarkets
