Product Reviews of Seventh Generation Automatic Dishwasher Gel, Lemon Scent, 42-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 6)
Product Review: Frustrated with film!
Summary: 1 Stars
I love Seventh Generation products. This product is horrible though. It leaves a film on silicone items, e.g. my colander and muffin pans, and sometimes silverware. I have tried everything to no avail. I will not buy this product again. I hope I find a green product that works. I don't want to go back to Cascade.
ON SECOND THOUGHT....
I want to revise my rating. I browsed Seventh Generation's FAQ section, and they recommended using less if you have soft water. This is what they wrote:
QUESTION: Why is there a residue on my dishes after using the Seventh Generation Automatic Dish Detergent? Is this residue safe?
ANSWER: The residue that periodically is found on clean dishes is caused by the level of hardness in your water and the amount of detergent that is used, accordingly.
If you have hard water you will need to use a rinse aid. Our product does not have phosphates in it, which can act as a rinse aid. With extremely hard water, the detergent will need the assistance of the rinse aid, which acts as a buffer so that minerals from the water and soils are not redeposited on the clean dishes and glasses.
If you have soft water you will need to reduce the amount of the detergent that you use per load. If you are using too much detergent, it will be impossible for your dish washer to rinse off the extra detergent and the minerals from the water.
The residue has no health impacts.
I gave it a shot. It worked! There's no film when I don't fill the prewash cup and skip that cycle. Since I rinse my dishes before I load them it makes more sense to go through a normal cycle and skip prewash. My overzealous, germaphobic ways got me into trouble. I change my writing to 4.5 stars.
Product Review: Gets the job done
Summary: 5 Stars
Doing right by the environment is all well and good, but lofty goals fall apart if the product doesn't perform well. I am happy to report that this one works well. I used 7th Gen powder years ago and found it disappointing. This gel, however, deos the trick and my dishes come out clean.Product Review: Gets your dishes squeaky clean.
Summary: 4 Stars
I tried this brand because I was looking for a more environmentally friendly dishwashing liquid. This product contains no phosphates and no chlorine and this helps to reduce the risk of harm to our waterways.
I haven't been disappointed. It gets my dishes super clean without any residue. The only thing, I've noticed is that if you have something with stains, like a coffee cup, that it doesn't always remove the stain 100%. An easy way to get around this is to rinse and wipe the cup before putting it in the dishwasher.
All and all, I would recommend this product to everyone.
Product Review: Great dishwasher detergent & smells GREAT!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this item at my local Target and I am glad that I gave it a chance. Before using this product I tried Kirkland Signature's eco-friendly dishwashing powder and was HIGHLY disappointed. This product left a powdery residue on my dishes and I felt my dishes were not clean. So, after I used all of that product up, I decided to give this a chance. This is a great product. It cleans my dishes well and I have had no problems with a residue left on my dishes. (I do use Distilled White Vinegar in my rinse aid compartment, so maybe that is why I don't have a residue problem.) The lemon scent of this product is very pleasant. It is not overpowering, which I love. I do rinse and wipe my dishes off before loading them in the dishwasher, so I am unable to attest whether this product removes any stuck on food grime. I also follow the directions on the bottle of how much soap to use. I love that Amazon offers Subscribe & Save for this product (which I signed up for today). It makes it more convenient to get this product at a cheaper price than is sold in stores. Overall, I have no complaints about this product. The price on Amazon is affordable and convenient since you get 6 bottles. It cleans the dishes well and the smell is nice. Give it a try!Product Review: Great for Asthmatic son
Summary: 4 Stars
Every time I run my dishwasher with one of the major brands, my son has an asthma attack. First, I tried the Seventh Generation powdered dishwasher detergent. My son didn't have asthma attacks with it, but it etched my plastics badly. Then I tried the Lemon gel. It does not cause my son to have asthma attacks and it doesn't etch my plastics. I am very glad that I am not having to hand wash all of my plastics. I give it a thumbs up! I have recently started using the Seventh Generation Laundry detergent, and I like that, too.
