Method Dish Soap Reviews

Below I've compiled quite a few Method dish soap reviews for you, from readers.


Method is a brand of cleaning products which touts itself as environmentally friendly.

This eco-friendly dishwashing liquid comes in quite a few scents, as well as a free and clear version.

Instead of in a squeeze type bottle, that many dish soaps come in, Method instead uses a pump bottle for their soap.

Some people absolutely love the pump bottle, as you'll see below, while others do not like having to pump the packaging to use the soap.

Further, instead of buying a whole new bottle when you want a refill of the soap, Method offers dish soap refill packages, to cut down on total package waste.

Method Dish Soap Review - Cucumber Scent

by Keri
(WA State)

Keri says:

I went looking for a more natural dish soap after I drank water out of a cup that had a soapy taste and obviously had not been rinsed well.

I thought about the fact that we were probably ingesting chemicals whenever this happens, so I wanted to find the most natural dish soap I could find.

Method turned out to be a great find. I use the Cucumber scent and think it smells very refreshing.

It is also very gentle on my hands even though I have sensitive skin. It works awesome!

It is also reasonably priced compared to some other natural dish soaps.

I've recently seen they've changed the design of their bottle, but I've only used their old bottle, so I can't comment on the new design change. I do like the idea of the pump, anyway. But have not tried it yet.

I will definitely continue to use Method as I am very happy with this as well as many of their other products.

Taylor says:

Keri, thanks for your Method dish soap review.

You are right, they have now switched to a pump dispenser, similar to the pump dispenser they use for Method laundry detergent.



There are mixed opinions about the pump dispenser for the laundry detergent (see see here for discussion in some of the reviews), so I will be interested to hear what others think of the pump dispenser for the Method dish soap.

Method Brand Dishwashing Soap Review - Problem With New Pump Dispenser

by Angela Goins
(Douglasville, GA)

Angela has shared the pros and cons of Method brand dishwashing soap, in the Clementine scent.

Angela says:

PRO'S: Love the scent, foams well and cleans well.

CON'S: The pump dispenser. I'm not sure how this pump dispenser is designed but when you push down on it, it can shoot across the room almost!

You've really got to have great aim when you push down. This can lead to a lot of wasted soap. I'd prefer to buy the refills and then refill another dispenser with the soap.

Taylor says:

Thanks Angela for your review.

I am glad someone has now shared what they think of the new dispenser pump, since this change was relatively recent, and the only other review I had received said she hadn't tried the new design yet.

I would love to know what other people think about the new design of the dishwashing liquid bottle, and whether it is good or not.

I like your idea though Angela, of just getting a refill and using your own dispenser for it if you don't like their design. That is a great way to continue using the dish soap, since you like it, without the pain of using a dispenser you don't like.

Fortunately, refills are available for the Method dish liquid, so this is a viable option for you.

***Update: I've now tried this product myself, and you can read my review of it below. ***End Update

Clementine Scented Dishwashing Liquid: Decent But Won't Buy Again

by Heidi
(Homewood, IL)

Heidi said:

I decided to begin trying different dish soaps after following Taylor's lead.

I had not given much thought to dishwashing liquid before, and it made me wonder if I might be missing out on something. I was curious and wanted to know the pros and cons of all of them.

Besides, who can pass up the lure of all the lovely colors and varieties? LOL

I tried the Method Clementine dishwashing liquid in the pump dispenser.

Over all it was a decent product.

It got everyday and mildly greasy dishes squeaky clean and had a fragrance I could tolerate (I don't like strong scented dish soaps.)

I did notice though that with really greasy dishes, pots, pans, etc. I had to add more soap to my wash water or put it directly on my sponge to finish tackling the grease.

It also left my sponges with a rancid odor after a few uses.

I too also had problems with the dispenser, as others have mentioned.

It's not a bad dish soap, but factoring in the cost as well as my results from my use of it, I won't be buying it again.

Taylor says:

Thanks Heidi. My review is below.

Lemon Mint Method Pump Dish Soap Cleans Great But Dispenser Is Not Good!

by Taylor

I recently finished a bottle of this dishwashing liquid, and wanted to share my thoughts about it here.

I have to agree with the reader above, who said that the pump dispenser for this eco-friendly soap is poor.

Both my husband and I have been washing lots of dishes by hand recently, because our dishwasher has been broken for about a month (finally have it fixed, but that is another story).

We both liked the scent of this soap, and the way it cleaned. It wasn't too thin (one of my pet peeves) and seemed to get rid of grease well.

However, we both got quite exasperated trying to use the product because of the dispenser.

You've got to hold the bottle exactly upright, and can't have it tilted at all or it will squirt all over the place, not just on the dishes. Also, if not exactly upright you may not even get any soap at all out of it if the end of the straw is not in the right spot.

It really ended up being a hassle when your hands are all soapy and slick while washing dishes, and made the process less enjoyable than it otherwise could be.

Overall, I won't be using this product again, not because it didn't work well, but because of the design of the dispenser. Overall, Method is known for its clean design just as much as its products, but this time they got it wrong in my opinion.

I would be curious to hear if others feel the same way or not about it. You can share your dish soap reviews here, for this or any other brand, or read others that have already been submitted.
