Dish Bears Story

Welcome to Dish Bears! My name is Tim Mehlman, and this journey began with a simple, yet unsettling observation from my kids. As they got old enough to really start tasting things, they started to complain that their lunch tupperware smelled and tasted funny.  After some investigation, I discovered the culprit: leftover chemicals from traditional dishwasher pods. That moment was a wake-up call for me—and it sent me down a rabbit hole I couldn’t ignore.

As I dug deeper, I learned just how harmful traditional dishwashing detergents can be—not just for the environment, but for our health. These products often contain harsh chemicals that linger on dishes and attach to our food and drinks and then go into our bodies.  Worse yet, I realized that even the "clean" alternative son the market had some questionable ingredients.  That’s when the idea for Dish Bears was born.

I set out to create a dishwashing pod that’s not only effective but also 100% clean and safe—made with ingredients I know and trust. After countless hours of research, testing, and tweaking, Dish Bears became a reality. These pods are designed to leave your dishes spotless without compromising your health or the planet. They’re free of harmful chemicals, biodegradable, and crafted with families like yours in mind.  We use them at our home every day.

At Dish Bears, we believe clean should mean clean. No chemical residues, no synthetic fragrances, no questionable ingredients—just pure, safe ingredients that get the job done. We’re proud to offer a product that transforms dishwashing into something you can feel good about every single day.

Thank you for joining us on this mission to make kitchens healthier and homes safer. Together, we’re proving that small changes can make a big difference—for our families and for the world.
