Customer Reviews of Seventh Generation Natural Laundry Detergent with Non-Chlorine Bleach, Free & Clear, Powder, 112-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 4)
Customer Review: Doesn't dissolve
Summary: 2 Stars
Like others, I really wanted this to work out. I love SG's diapers and many other products. But the powder cakes up, and just does not dissolve in our hard water. I have to crumble it up in my hands to an almost talc-like consistency and mix it into the water, which has to be at least warm, then add clothes - THEN it does a good job and does not leave detergent "rocks" or white stains on the clothes. Unfortunately that's a little too much effort. It cleans well when it dissolves, so maybe it's fine for soft-water areas.Customer Review: hardened up on me
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought a big box of this that would last me several months. Before I got through it all, it hardened up like a rock. If I tried to break it up and use it anyway, I would find pieces left over after the wash that didn't even dissolve and were like little rocks. I don't know if the humidity would do this to any powdered detergent, but I'd never seen it happen. Had to throw about 1/3 of the box out. So I recommend the liquid version.Customer Review: Sorry to hate this detergent
Summary: 1 Stars
I really WANT to like Seventh Generation powdered laundry detergent. I believe in the company's focus and have been happy with all of their other products that I've tried. But this detergent is awful. Using hot water, I followed the directions to dissolve detergent in the filling washer before adding clothes. At first I thought I was using too much, so cut way back. That helped eliminate the nasty smell. (It's fragrance-free, but that doesn't mean it doesn't stink.) The big problem is that it leaves white blotches on all of my colored cotton knits. I've tried adding vinegar to the wash, also borax, with no appreciable difference. Also, the box recommendation to pre-treat stains with a mix of detergent and water, rubbed into the stain, DOES NOT WORK on a grease stain. So I find myself washing repeatedly to try to get the stains out and get the white blotches out. I'll use up the Seventh Generation I have on whites and go back to the nasty chemical detergent for my dark cotton knits.Customer Review: Seventh Generation labeling is incorrect....And (Amazon) bad service.

When I ordered this product from Amazon.com I recieved the citrus scented ones instead of the free & clear. I have requested to reship the correct item but again they have shipped out the citrus scented. When I called in the third time they told me to return the two boxes for a refund and wait an unknown amount of time to reorder...When I ask when should I reorder they could not tell me a specific time or date. They just said go somewhere else to reorder....Can you believe this.....!!!!!!
When I looked at the original boxes from Seventh Generation there were no mark or labeling the different types of detergents. I really do not know how these guys ship out the correct ones. Amazon is cheaper but you'll have a big head ache when you recieve the wrong product everytime. Can they just open on side of the box and check if it is the correct package...????? They are killing themselves with shipping cost...so ignorant...
Customer Review: seventh generation laundry detergent
Summary: 1 Stars
I have tried both the powder and liquid Seventh Generation Laundry detergents. Both have bleached color out of clothing items. The first time the company reimbursed me for the cost of the clothes, and told me they were removing the words "color fast" from the product labels (they did). Now that it has happened again I will not be using this product in the future.
