Seventh Generation Free and Clear Laundry Liquid

I used this detergent for many months. It works very well in soft water, but not as well in hard water. The value is not great, in that the 52 oz bottle only gets you about 16 loads, and that costs almost $10 - or certainly more if you have to go out of town or have it shipped in to get it (I paid $15 for my first bottle since they didn't carry it at my local health food store and it had to be shipped). I certainly prefer it to nasty-smelling, chemical- and petroleum-laden commercial laundry detergents, even for the price, but I have found a far better product and will not willingly buy this one again.

 This is not an eco-product.  The ingredients are not safe or non-toxic especially compared to other products available.  Plus I use twice as much of this as the other laundry detergent that I use.  I bought this once and won't buy it again.  Go and find Ecover.  It's a much better product.  

I admit: it's always tougher to get clothes clean when you have hard water. But Seventh Generation's Liquid Detergent doesn't just have a hard time with hard water--it utterly gives up the fight and goes home.

No problem: baking soda to the rescue! Add a 1/2 cup of baking soda to a load with the SG detergent, and the problem is solved. You get a fresh-smelling load of clean laundry (although for medium/tough stains, obviously you'll still want to pre-treat).

With the baking soda fix, I can highly recommend this product. It's hypo-allergenic (we use the nonscented option); not tested on animals; and consistent with a vegetable-based lifestyle.

This natural laundry detergent so far seems to do the job. I have used it on moderately soiled clothes, a true test would be kids clothes. It takes very little to do a full load and I found it cleaned well and had a fresh scent. It is hypo-allergenic which is a good thing when using on linens etc. especially for guests when you don't know their sensitivities. It is pricey but the 50oz bottle is to do 32 average loads. I noticed Costco is carrying more green products so I will be on the look out to see if they carry it in a more economical size. They claim it is safe for septic systems and greywater systems as well.

This soap is all right. I used it before switching to biokleen. Effective in cleaning but not so good in getting out stains. And the price is a bit high. It's not a bad soap if you don't deal with major stains and you can afford to buy it every week to 2 weeks. Overall it's an okay soap.

This was actually on sale when I last bought it and the price was ok. I actually prefer country save detergent but I am not sure how eco friendly it is...it's just the best diaper cleaning detergent out there and it leaves your clothes wonderfully soft.

This detergent works well, but is far from concentrated.

Works really well in my HE machine, clothes smell great and I used hardly any of the liquid.

love the scented ones best.

We bought this at Target.  Its working really great.  I like the lack of scent and it cleans really terrific.  I like that its easy to find at a Mass Market store like Target.  When you live out in the country that is a big selling point.

I do wish that it were more concentrated so the bottle could be smaller.  It is a fairly "normal" size bottle.  Other than that it is a great product.
