Seventh Generation cheating consumers

We've been buying Seventh Generation products for over six years now. For the last three years, I think the company has taken another step by focusing more and more on the bottom line. They are making it harder and harder to even get coupons from their website and now with the economic slowdown, they don't really think about customers anymore. We recently went to the stores and bought one dish liquid detergent, two laundry detergents (1 liquid and 1 powder). To my amazement, when I opened up the powdered box (112 oz.), it was half. Never seen this before. There is no explanation for this except cheating customers. They should have reduced the size of the box. The prices have recently increased but the box content has diminished. I don't know how many of you had the same experience. Why can't they reduce the box and price it accordingly. They increased the price and they reduced the content.

Simply The Best

This powder gets my dishes cleaner than Cascade ever did. And, best of all, it's non-toxic. That's really important if there is children in the house because automatic dishwashing detergents are usually the most poisonous cleaners in one's home. They also have a liquid version of the automatic detergent but it doesn't work as well, leaving tea stains on the cups. Stick with the powder----it's awesome.

Not exactly free & clear

this stuff isn't exactly cheap. i've given it a second chance. it does leave my dishes clear of detergent smells but not free of residues (i rinse before it goes in the washer). i think i'm moving onto another eco-friendly product.

You have to use the powder version instead of the liquid version. I had the same problem with the liquid but the powder works like a charm! more »

I Accidentally Ingested This Dishwashing Detergent.

Not a lot of it, but some. For some reason, after we wash with this dishwashing powder in our dishwasher, our bowls and glasses have powder stuck to them. And I didn't notice right away, so I ended up eating it. Possibly for more than a couple of days. Let's just say I will not buy this again.

On the other hand, it didn't make me sick, so it at least lives up to its claim to not be harmful to humans.

Most effective and mildest dish detergent

I rarely get excited over a cleaning product but Seventh Generation dish detergent is a huge winner. I love the dye-free and color-free formula and it is so mild for hands. I will never go back to regular dish liquid.

Extra Clean

After reading a disheartening story on parabens, tonight I tried washing my dishes with the Seventh Generation dishwashing detergent. When the dishes were done, I found dishes that were cleaner than I ever saw with Cascade and scent free. I would definitely buy this product again.

clean and clear

I love how this product has no fragrance or dyes, but still gets my dishes clean. I have used other types and this product works the best while keeping my conscience clear.

7th Generation Biodegradable Dish Soap

Seventh generation has done a great job with it's dish soap. It does a great job cleaning dishes, it doesn't have any nasty perfumes or dyes and is so safe I can use the dish water to water my plants.

heavenly suds

this stuff has a very pleasant fragrance, suds well, does a great job cutting grease and cleaning, and is economical. the packaging is a bit too boring, too much white on the bottle. . .a more Heavenly feeling, ie more "in space" feeling would be good for marketing. . .something more space age. . .

So-So

I love 7th Gen products but I'm pretty disappointed with the dry dishwashing detergent. It sticks to the glasses a lot and really gets crusted on there. Guess I'll go back to liquids.
