Customer Reviews of Seventh Generation 2X Conc., Free & Clear, 32-Ounce (Pack of 6)
Customer Review: Be careful using on colors
Summary: 3 Stars
I have used this product for over a year so was happy to find it cheaper at Amazon than in the grocery store.
I use this brand for 2 reasons. I am concerned about the environment and look for affordable eco-friendly products for household uses. I also have skin sensitivities to chemicals in many products. I used to use Tide Free, but, at some time they must have changed their formula because now it still gives me itchy skin. I had to stop using fabric softeners completely and Seventh Generation Free & Clear is the only detergent I've tried that doesn't affect me.
As for how it works... It does a pretty good job on whites if they aren't heavily soiled. I have had problems with some colors running, especially if not immediately put in the dryer after the washing is completed. I now don't use the full amount of liquid on colors and add an eco-friendly laundry booster if the load is extra dirty. This detergent doesn't do much for stain removal so I still pretreat stains with Quick N Brite. 7th Gen works OK for us but our clothes aren't usually heavily soiled. I will continue to use this product until a better and afforable brand comes along that also is eco and skin friendly.
The items did arrived quickly and intact without any leaks.
Customer Review: What's not to love?
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using this detergent for about 3 months, and there is a lot to love about this product. Enviornmentally friendly, cleans very well and smaller bottles mean I don't have that huge, massive bottle sitting out, these bottles fit in the drawer of my washer pedestal.
My new front loading washer needs HE detergent and this fills the bill and for me, it's about the same price per ounce than that massive bottle from the Sams and Costco where I shop. I no longer have to schlep that big bottle to my car and into the house, either. And there is more product in these 6 bottles than in those massive containers anyway.
I live way back in the mountains, so free delivery TO MY DOOR saves my time as well as less wear and tear on my vehicle. And, it's here fast too, in the case of my first delivery, it was overnight.
I use the Free & Clear because it allows me to use whatever fabric softener fragrance I desire, or none at all if that's what I want. I also have not noticed any problems with cleaning, fading or whatever the other people have complained about. The delivery times were not exactly what I needed, but it's very easy to cancel a delivery or add an extra one at any time.
It just doesn't get much better.
Customer 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.)
Customer Review: I love this stuff!!
Summary: 5 Stars
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!!Customer Review: Clothes still smelly
Summary: 1 Stars
My boyfriend INSISTS on using this brand of detergent. I wont for a few reasons, the first is that its very expensive (about $6 for a tiny bottle) and doesn't last long when you do large loads of towels and bedding weekly. So I use Arm and Hammer for my stuff and household stuff, and use this crap for his clothes since its important to him.
Anyway, what I've noticed about this detergent is that his clothes still smell when they come out of the wash (the armpits even still had deodorant residue. WTF?) it fades darks quickly, and leaves clothes feeling overall starchy. So...what does it DO? Seems pretty useless as a detergent if it can't even get the armpit smell out. (and my bf is not unreasonably smelly, just a male lol)
Seems to me the consumers of this product are more concerned with what the brand stands for than actually having clean clothes.
