What do you use on dishes?

[rmzbm]

I'm trying to "de-chemicalize" as much as possible. Trying to use vinegar to clean...and have been pleasently surprised! Now, as far as I can see, dish soap is not so bad. Am I wrong? What do you all use? :

I use Biokleen products for nearly all cleaning items, including dish soap and dishwasher detergent.

Mainstream-brand dish soaps are made from petroleum derivatives and contain some pretty nasty chemicals.

I've tried a bunch of enviro brands, made from plants, and the only one that didn't clean well enough to satisfy me was Nature Clean. All these brands are great, just as effective as and smell better than most mainstream ones:
Earth Friendly Products Dishmate
Seventh Generation
Bio-Kleen
Sun & Earth
Citra-Dish
Trader Joe's

I love the my current dish soap its Lifetree concentrated dish soap with aloe and calendula.

i recently switched to method dishwashing soap (available at targets) and love it! no chemical smell, very soapy, and love the grapefruit smell.

plus it's biodegradable so i don't feel as bad.

I have used Ecover Dishwashing Liquid for as long as I can remember, and I love it!

In the dishwasher, I usually use Seventh Generation if I can find it on sale, or Ecover powder. I prefer the Seventh Generation only because I like the pouring spout better than the Ecover, but I think they both clean equally well.

Does anyone make their own dish soap? I'd be interested in recipes. I have fels naptha, washing soda, and borax for making my own laundry detergent - surely some combination would render a nice dish detergent.
