The Golden Temple may soon use eco-friendly detergents to clean utensils at its community kitchen. The idea of using eco-friendly detergents was proposed by EcoSikh, a Washington based group. There are plans to replace harsh chemical detergents with herbal detergents like reetha (soapberry). The Shiromani Gurudwara Parbandhak Committee that handles the administration of the temple is considering the switch to make the temple eco-friendly.
