I have four kids and have been using this detergent for over a year now in our front loader machine. It is ultra concentrated and with a front loader, the label says to 1/3 less of it, so it goes a long way. I absolutely love this product! As a matter of fact, it gets stains out so well that I now use it to pretreat stains. I filled a squirt bottle with half detergent and half water, shook it up and spray it on the stains about ten minutes before I throw the clothes into the washer. I have never had a problem with this liquid harming my colors. There is no bleach in this product as there is in the powdered detergent, so I cannot see why one other reviewer has had problems. I use it with the baby's clothes, darks, whites, and colors and have never had a problem with it discoloring clothes and I would definately know that if I pretreat stains with it. Our clothes come out so clean, and I know that I am keeping my kids safe without using chemicals. Thank you Seventh Generation!!

I've been using Seventh Gen detergent for a few years now, and it works great. I've never had any of the problems others complain about (color leaching, funny smells, etc). My clothes get clean, and i don't use dead dinosaurs to do it. It also doesn't trigger my eczema, or even irritate my sensitive skin in the slightest. I even used this to wash my newborn baby's clothes and blankets, and it was fine.

That said: don't buy it here. First, this is a six-pack of small bottles. Recycling is great and all, but reducing is better. Buy one large bottle (unless you have arthritis or a wrist injury and can't lift a large bottle) instead. Second, the packaging is insufficient. My order arrived with two of the bottles sporting cracked lids, the box soaked through with detergent, and a mildly annoyed UPS guy trying to wipe his hands clean on a rag.

(A relative of mine complains about Seventh Gen detergent not rinsing clean from her laundry, but i watched her do laundry and she puts in about 3x as much as is actually needed. I tried to explain 'concentrated' and 'high efficiency' to her, but she wouldn't listen.)

This is an excellent detergent, with no perfumes or harmful
chemicals; and, this 32 fluid oz. container of liquid detergent is
the perfect size for most laundry cabinets; and, it is not too heavy a weight to handle, easily. I give this Seventh Generation liquid detergent the highest rating.

I only use Seventh Generation Free & Clear laundry detergent because I have someone in my household with MCS and this product has no scent whatsoever. With others, even other organic/natural products, he still reacts to them. It cleans well and buying it through the subscribe and save is a great way to save money and buy products made be company that cares about the environment.

Great cleaner at a great price for a plant based product. We have 2 active boys, takes out grass, dirt and whatever else they get into.
Very happy with the quality and the environmental impact is a big bonus.

I have used this product for over a year so was happy to find it cheaper at Amazon than in the grocery store.

I use this brand for 2 reasons. I am concerned about the environment and look for affordable eco-friendly products for household uses. I also have skin sensitivities to chemicals in many products. I used to use Tide Free, but, at some time they must have changed their formula because now it still gives me itchy skin. I had to stop using fabric softeners completely and Seventh Generation Free & Clear is the only detergent I've tried that doesn't affect me.

As for how it works... It does a pretty good job on whites if they aren't heavily soiled. I have had problems with some colors running, especially if not immediately put in the dryer after the washing is completed. I now don't use the full amount of liquid on colors and add an eco-friendly laundry booster if the load is extra dirty. This detergent doesn't do much for stain removal so I still pretreat stains with Quick N Brite. 7th Gen works OK for us but our clothes aren't usually heavily soiled. I will continue to use this product until a better and afforable brand comes along that also is eco and skin friendly.

The items did arrived quickly and intact without any leaks.

In our household, we try to use products that are good for the earth as much as we can. With the amount of laundry we do, it made sense to think about a way to reduce the pollution we add to the water. Cost-wise, Seventh Generation products are more expensive than other laundry detergents, but they are the only one that can stand up to their claim of being earth friendly. Along with being highly concentrated, they don't use dye or perfumes, and it's really an excellent product. It works well, too. Our clothes are as clean as ever!

I have very sensitive skin and can only use detergents that are totally free of all perfumes and dyes. I have been using this product for over two years, and it has been wonderful and I have not been allergic at all. I like that this detergent is better for the earth, my clothes and my body than the commercial stuff that is not eco-friendly. Seventh Generation has a lot of great products, but this is by far my favorite. I also like that this detergent is good to use in HD washing machines. It is 2x concentrated so you only need to use a tiny bit (about half a capful) for a full load. I will keep buying this detergent probably forever - that is how much I like it!

I wanted to like this detergent - we bought it at Walmart. However, it left weak spots in fabric of at least three shirts and ruined with a tie dyed affect another. Just don't buy it. We have a GE front loader with soft water from a water softener.

In our MommyReview household we have a HE (high-efficiency) washing machine. HE machines usually require 1/3 of what a standard machine uses in detergent. It is important to not over-soap your loads of laundry. Seventh Generation using plant-derived agents and enzymes for cleaning power that is safer for our environment both in-home and out. I often wonder what chemicals are rubbing against my families skin. Do you wonder ?
