Customer Reviews of Seventh Generation Automatic Dishwasher Gel, Lemon Scent, 45-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 6)
Customer Review: It's not supposed to be Cascade
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using this for some time now and agree with the many reviewers who find it frustrating to find dirty spots, stains, residue, etc. on dishes after a complete cycle. Tea and coffee are my main culprits as this detergent will not completely remove these stains from mugs and teapots, especially white ones. Yes, it sucks in that department. After going back and forth between this and Cascade, Electrasol, and all the other conventional brands (all of which removed the stains completely) I've decided to remain faithful to SG because, for the most part, it does work. And it works without chemicals. I like opening my machine after the rinse cycle without getting a steamy bleach facial. I like that I'm doing a small part for the environment without too much effort. I just feel better overall that my dishes are not laden with chemical residue and I feel safe putting food on them.
With regards to residue, especially on glassware, may I make a recommendation that has worked wonders for me. Buy a gallon jug of cheap white vinegar (no need for name brand here). Fill the rinse aid compartment with it the next time it needs refilling. Before running a cycle, add your detergent as usual, and a generous splash (about a half cup or more, depending on water hardness. Harder water = more vinegar.) to the bottom of the machine. Run on the shortest cycle (usually china/crystal) and open the machine before allowing the heat or air to kick in. This has eliminated the milky film problem completely for me and no, your dishes won't smell like a salad bar. It's a little extra work, true, but it does a wonderful job.
Also, if you open the machine before it starts the dry cycle, you have the opportunity to give dishes that my not be perfect a quick swipe with a dish towel to remove blatant bits and particles. I only have to do this with a plate or two, and sometimes not at all because the vinegar really, really works.
In the grand scheme of things, this is a natural product that requires a little extra work on the user's part, as do a lot of natural products simply because the chemicals are nonexistent. Remember, elbow grease is all-natural. :)
