Description

Seventh Generation Lemon Dishwasher Detergent Gel uses plant based enzyme blends for high cleaning power while leaving out synthetic fragrances, dyes, phosphates, and chlorine bleach. This dish soap is scented with 100 percent essential oils and botanical extracts because real lemon smells good just the way it is

For more than 25 years, Seventh Generation has been thoughtfully formulating safe and effective plant based products that work. Really well. Our dishwashing detergent gel uses powerful plant based ingredients like surfactants and enzymes to break down tough residue and lift away food, leaving your dishes sparkling clean. So, how does it all work? The enzymes cut through grease and food by breaking down starch and protein based residue while the surfactants remove dirt and grease by holding the molecules in suspension, so they can wash away. Yes, even those fussy egg stains

Based in Vermont, Seventh Generation is proud to be a Certified B Corporation. B Corps are certified to be better for workers, better for communities, and better for the environment. You may also notice a cute Leaping Bunny seal on our products. That means we never test our products on animals and our products do not contain animal based ingredients.

Cleans dishes effectively with no residue or fragr

I’ve been using Seventh Generation Free & Clear Dishwasher Gel for a few weeks now and I’m really impressed. It cleans dishes thoroughly without leaving behind residue or film, even on glasses. I love that it’s fragrance-free and gentle, which is important for sensitive skin and households trying to avoid harsh chemicals. Packaging is simple and easy to use, and I haven’t noticed spotting or leftover buildup. Overall, it’s a solid, reliable dishwasher detergent that actually works while staying clean and mindful.

Good scent, but the cleaning power is just average

This dishwasher gel is just okay for me. While the lemon scent is nice and fresh, I feel like the rinsing could be better. Sometimes I still see spots on my glasses. It's a decent value for a natural brand, but I’ve used others that cut through grease a bit better.

I am very satisfied with the Seventh Generation Di

I truly appreciate the Seventh Generation Dishwasher Gel in lemon scent. It does such a wonderful job of cleaning my dishes, effortlessly removing grease and food residue. What I love most is the light, fresh lemon scent—it’s just the right touch and never feels overwhelming. It’s comforting to know I’m using something that feels safer for my family while still performing well in the dishwasher. Overall, it strikes the perfect balance between effective cleaning and gentleness. I'm really satisfied with this product!

Not perfect but still okay!

This detergent works fine and gets most of the dishes clean. I like that it’s plant-based and doesn’t have a strong chemical smell, but it doesn’t always handle stubborn food without a little extra scrubbing first. It’s decent enough that I’ll keep using it though!

Does the job, but not perfect

This detergent works fine and gets most of the dishes clean. I like that it’s plant-based and eco-friendly, but it doesn’t always handle stubborn spots without some extra scrubbing. It’s decent enough that I’ll keep using it, but it’s not amazing, just does the job.

Not recommended

Unfortunately (because I wanted to like it), this is the worst dishwashing product I have ever used. Glasses come out with fingerprints and residue from juices, flatware comes out with whatever it went in with. Not recommended at all.

Great dish detergent

I like this brand for dishes , it’s great for dishes, does not have scent. Great for cleaning stains in the sink, water hardness is not affected by it. Breaks down in a sink and helps dishes to dry faster.

Quality product!

Works great and leaves dishes sparkling! Scent is not overwhelming and it is highly concentrated so you do not need much. It dispenses well and has enough toughness to handle dried on food with ease.

Great natural gel that cleans well without streaks

I’ve used Seventh Generation Free & Clear Dishwasher Gel for weeks and overall I’m impressed. It rinses dishes clean most of the time with minimal streaking, and I don’t see any detergent residue on glassware. It’s gentle and plant-based, which I appreciate, but it’s not always strong enough on heavy, baked-on food. Great for everyday use and sensitive skin/homes.

Great on greasy dishes

Since I have a toddler, I always try to find cleaning products and things that are more better for us and the environment. This dishwasher gel was pretty great for getting off grease and sauce from the lasagna I made. On top of that it has a really nice smell.

Ruined my dishwasher

This stuff destroyed my dishwasher. Dishes kept coming out powdery white and eventually the entire filter was filled with powdery white stuff as well and our dishwasher made horrible noises. Switched to cascade and took apart the dishwasher & cleaned it all (had to buy some new parts too) and now we’re back to normal. DO NOT BUY THIS.
