Product Reviews of Seventh Generation 2X Conc., Free & Clear, 32-Ounce (Pack of 6)
Product Review: Great detergent, but don't buy it here
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using Seventh Gen detergent for a few years now, and it works great. I've never had any of the problems others complain about (color leaching, funny smells, etc). My clothes get clean, and i don't use dead dinosaurs to do it. It also doesn't trigger my eczema, or even irritate my sensitive skin in the slightest. I even used this to wash my newborn baby's clothes and blankets, and it was fine.
That said: don't buy it here. First, this is a six-pack of small bottles. Recycling is great and all, but reducing is better. Buy one large bottle (unless you have arthritis or a wrist injury and can't lift a large bottle) instead. Second, the packaging is insufficient. My order arrived with two of the bottles sporting cracked lids, the box soaked through with detergent, and a mildly annoyed UPS guy trying to wipe his hands clean on a rag.
(A relative of mine complains about Seventh Gen detergent not rinsing clean from her laundry, but i watched her do laundry and she puts in about 3x as much as is actually needed. I tried to explain 'concentrated' and 'high efficiency' to her, but she wouldn't listen.)
Product Review: Horrible stench - buyer beware
Summary: 1 Stars
I have a large family that does at least 1 to 2 loads of laundry a day. This detergent is fairly expensive in comparison to other non-organic detergents but we justified the expense because it's important to us to be environmentally conscientious. I have washed several loads with this detergent now and have noticed a few things. The first 2 or 3 loads came out smelling bad so I had to rewash them even though they weren't particularly large loads. I thought perhaps we weren't using enough detergent and increased the amount to the maximum amount allowed on their measuring lid. That seemed to work alright for the next 3 loads. I then had to wash a load of whites that had a coffee soaked towel in it. The load came out literally smelling like feces. I rewashed the load with some color safe bleach because I try to avoid chlorine whenever possible. It still wreaked of feces. In fact, my entire laundry room smelled of it. I rewashed the load with chlorine bleach and finally the smell was gone. The very next load I put in was colors, not particularly dirty, put in the maximum amount of detergent, and it too came out smelling of feces. Its vile. I've never had this happen with any other detergent I've used. We consistently have to use double or triple the amount of detergent than we normally have to use, rewash loads multiple times, and use additives like bleach, that we wouldn't normally have to use in order for our laundry to smell clean. Hardly any of our loads of laundry are heavily soiled. There's only one grown man in the entire household. The most offensive smelly thing in the laundry is usually a perfume spritzed shirt from one of the teenage girls, which by the way, the detergent often fails to remove the smell of. I will never be purchasing this detergent again. It is a complete waste of money and the company ought to be fined or something for advertising their product as environmentally friendly.Product Review: I love this stuff!!

I have four kids and have been using this detergent for over a year now in our front loader machine. It is ultra concentrated and with a front loader, the label says to 1/3 less of it, so it goes a long way. I absolutely love this product! As a matter of fact, it gets stains out so well that I now use it to pretreat stains. I filled a squirt bottle with half detergent and half water, shook it up and spray it on the stains about ten minutes before I throw the clothes into the washer. I have never had a problem with this liquid harming my colors. There is no bleach in this product as there is in the powdered detergent, so I cannot see why one other reviewer has had problems. I use it with the baby's clothes, darks, whites, and colors and have never had a problem with it discoloring clothes and I would definately know that if I pretreat stains with it. Our clothes come out so clean, and I know that I am keeping my kids safe without using chemicals. Thank you Seventh Generation!!Product Review: It's like not using anything - waste of money

I purchased a bottle of this at target recently and used it with m LG HE washer. The first few times, my clothes came out smelling like a mix of herbs and stank BO. Our family's gym clothes just smelled like we threw our clothes in a load of sweat. It failed in removing moderate stains. I think the light soiling that seemed clean after the wash was just so because it was soaked in water. Even with all that, we still used the entire bottle just to make sure we were being fair. It sucks. I do love their diapers, but they need to step it up with the detergent. Buy Baby All, Tide, anything other than this. Really. Waste of money.Product Review: Love the Earth
Summary: 5 Stars
In our household, we try to use products that are good for the earth as much as we can. With the amount of laundry we do, it made sense to think about a way to reduce the pollution we add to the water. Cost-wise, Seventh Generation products are more expensive than other laundry detergents, but they are the only one that can stand up to their claim of being earth friendly. Along with being highly concentrated, they don't use dye or perfumes, and it's really an excellent product. It works well, too. Our clothes are as clean as ever!
