Very Good Dish Soap
Draes reviewed April 3, 2008 at 12:22 pm

I have used a few Seventh Generation products, and I generally like them. This is a very good soap, with no dyes, perfumes, or chemicals, and it is reasonably effective. It suds up brilliantly, but doesn't cut grease as well as I would like, leaving a thin film on washed storage containers, and you might need to work quickly as the suds lose their effectiveness after a short time. I would still buy it over standard commercial detergents, but have since found a dish liquid that I definitely prefer.

Seventh Generation, plateloads above the competition
miranda reviewed April 22, 2008 at 10:38 am

I have started to use this product over the last few months after switching from nature clean and find it to be superior to any green dish liquid I have used and I have used many. The suds are great, it lasts a long time and my hands are dry and chapped. My husband who has excema can use this too and not have it affect his hands. The best dish soap on the market!

Decent soap
eris reviewed November 17, 2008 at 3:26 pm

We've been using this at work and I would say it's no better or worse than an average dish soap. It gets the job done, even though I am not too happy with the suds. I have used better soaps...

Not Impressed
SweetMystic725 reviewed July 11, 2008 at 10:57 am

I was very disappointed! 7th Generation is usually a product that I like but this dishwashing liquid left my dishes feeling sandy and left a white film on them!   :(   I would not reccomend it- the method works well as an alternative...

divamama reviewed June 1, 2008 at 7:06 pm

although a bit pricey I find this soap last long and you don't need to use much. It's probably not as watered down as the cheep stuff. It does a great job of cleaning and it's nice to know you not harming the environment.

Great Dish Soap!
nitedreamer reviewed May 20, 2008 at 1:20 pm

This detergent works wonderfully. You don't need to use a lot, the dishes get clean, it doesn't make my hands sore. And I love the quote on the bottle about how much oil is saved from making the switch!

Cleans well but not my favorite
stins reviewed January 14, 2008 at 9:31 am

I generally like Seventh Generation products a lot. And while this soap smells nice and cleans well, it suds up too much for me (when I want to use the sponge with no soap, I have to rinse it a ton). Also, it's a little thin (i.e. runny) so you have to watch out for that - otherwise you get too much and your bottle doesn't last as long.

Gentle on the hands
GreenLady08 reviewed April 21, 2008 at 9:56 pm

I've been using Seventh Generation for the past year. The Free & Clear is not smelly like most dish soaps. Since I wash all my dishes by hand, it's important to have a product that doesn't dry my hands out. The SG liquid does a great job at making suds and cutting grease. It's a kitchen favorite!

I love this for the dishes as it works really well and at the same time is environmentally friendly. There is also one with a lemongrass scent and that scent is fantastic, light and fresh.

Just as good as any other
amc9184 reviewed April 9, 2008 at 10:36 pm

I purchased this product to try it out and see if a green dish liquid would even work. I am very impressed! This product cuts grease as well as any brand I have ever tried. Plus, it doesn't leave your hands smelling like some overpowering fruit. I also love that this product is more environmentally friendly than most.

I do however wish that the price was lower. It seems a bit excessive to pay almost four dollars a bottle for dish soap.

I love this dishwashing soap. It lathers well, cleans well, and doesn't have a scent (that I can tell). It "seems" to be very clean...no added chemicals other than what is needed. I highly recommend this product.

I've found this to be as good or better a dishwashing fluid than the mainstream dishwashing fluids, and with the bonus of not having terrible perfumes.
