Customer Reviews of Seventh Generation Laundry Detergent, White Flower & Bergamot Citrus, Powder, 112-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 4)
Customer Review: Works OK, not a great product though
Summary: 3 Stars
We have been using this detergent for about a year now (bought using subscribe and save, which is awesome for the discount and convenience). We prefer detergents with no dyes and fragrances as well as being environmentally smart. We have used in two different HE, front-loading washers.
Positives:
+ Works fine for normally soiled clothes
+ No dyes or perfumes so no skin irritation
+ Great for environment
+ Great for septic systems
Negatives:
- Does not perform well in cold for front-loading washers where the water has to mix it in the tray then circulate. If you use cold water, you'll probably end up with a solid cake of about half the detergent placed in it at the end of the cycle meaning time to re-wash.
- Not being able to effectively use cold is counter to environmentally friendly.
- The detergent cakes into large lumps in the box after a few weeks making it a pain to scoop and use. I understand this is part of being environmentally friendly, but there has to be an anti-caking agent that works.
Customer Review: Careful! Product not for use in high efficiency front-loader machines!
Summary: 3 Stars
I've just checked the Seventh Generation site, and this powdered laundry detergent is not for use in a high efficiency washing machine.
Their liquid laundry detergent is okay for he machines.
I ended up with four boxes of detergent that won't work for my machine.
