Q: What is the recommended amount for soft water?

submitted by Jen - 9 months ago
  • A: Thanks for asking! We recommend filling the main dispenser cup according to machine directions. For very hard water we recommend using Seventh Generation Rinse Aid - we hope this helps.

Q: Is there plastic in the packaging for this item?

submitted by kris - 11 months ago
  • A: Thanks for asking for our Free & Clear Auto Dishwasher Detergent Powder. Unfortunately, our cardboard box packaging for our dishwasher powdered detergents is not recyclable. The box is coated with a plastic layer which is necessary on all powdered detergent and serves as a moisture barrier to protect the powder from humidity and moisture, which can ruin the detergent. This coating used to be on the interior of the dish detergent box, so you may not have noticed it before. Having this coating on the exterior of the packaging helps to protect the box. We're actively looking to develop a better, biodegradable humidity coating and hope to have it nailed down soon! We hope this helps!

Q: HOW MANY CYCLES DOES THIS COVER?

submitted by Pat Keith - 1 year ago
  • A: Thanks for reaching out about our Free + Clear Auto Dishwasher Detergent! Based on volume of product and that standard dishwasher detergent compartments hold 1 oz. of detergent, will handle 45 loads. Actual loads handled can vary, based on size of load and amount of detergent used, based on how heavily soiled dishes are. We hope this helps!

I was skeptical based on the other reviews but this works as well as the most expensive Cascade pods. And we have a cheap apartment dishwasher and don’t rinse super well. We do use a rinse aid, and also have very soft water.

Do NOT buy this!!!! I ran out of my regular Truly Free dishwasher detergent and purchased this in a pinch. I should’ve read the reviews more thoroughly but target doesn’t have a lot of “cleaner” options for this type of product so I went with it. Well I totally regret it, 3/4 of my dishes are still dirty (and I pre-rinse pretty well) when I empty the dishwasher and it’s infuriating!!! Total waste of time, just don’t do it.

Mistymountain - 4 days ago
Hubby disliked other detergents because he can taste the fragrance of them clean dishes. I started out being impressed with this one but I’ve noticed on full loads that there is a visible film left on glasses and utensils, and that I can taste a saltiness on the rim of mugs and glasses. We have a newer model Bosch that has done well with other detergents. I’m disappointed with Seventh Generation, though I like that it is unscented. Back to the drawing board with finding the perfect dishwasher detergent.

These work really well compared to other natural dishwasher pods. They don’t leave a residue or a smell on the dishes. They seem to clean really well on tough food. Like that the packaging is recyclable and the pods are in a food grade seal that isn’t harmful. I will never go back to pods that are not natural.

Seventh Generation Dishwasher Detergent Powder

I’ve been using the Seventh Generation Dishwasher Detergent Powder (Free & Clear), and overall, I’m very satisfied. It does a solid job cleaning dishes — even tough, stuck-on food comes off without much trouble. I really appreciate that it has 0% fragrances, especially since I try to avoid unnecessary chemicals in household products. The fact that it’s a USDA Certified Biobased Product (75%) gives me extra confidence in its environmental friendliness. One thing to note is that it’s a powder, so you need to be a bit more careful measuring compared to pods or gel. But for the value and the clean ingredients, it’s worth it. Will definitely repurchase!

I was so sad when the unscented ecover brand dishwasher powder was unavailable on Amazon so I tried this out (I love 7th generation’s liquid dish soap) before running out of it…. It is SOO terrible!! Too many dishes ended up dirty still (it should be none, like ecover does)… am thinking maybe because it does not have enzymes, but I also saw that one of the main ingredients is sodium chloride—salt! The ecover one had citric acid as its main ingredient… still on the search, I would steer clear!

Environmentally friendly Cleans well

frothe42 - 1 month ago
I have a portable dishwasher Kenmore manufactured by Frigidaire/Electrolux, wanted something environmentally friendly. CR several years ago rated this well, recommended. So, I purchased, and have used ever since. Cleans weeks long grime as I suffer from manic depression, and lately I haven't felt like running my dishwasher. Just finished running a load where my coffee cups, mugs came out clean. Silverware spotless. Stainless steel bowls, immaculate. One white soup bowl had some leftover on the rim, cannot complain, it sat for weeks. I cannot give it five stars because it never gets rid of tea stains in mugs I use for tee. Target usually has the best price, and I probably purchase once or twice a year, it is only myself, live alone, and usually run my dishwasher once a week, sometimes more, usually less.

This powder works great for us! We have issues with this brand's pods because the plastic is always melting and getting stuck in the detergent holder or the detergent is just doing a poor job, so we were delighted to find this powder is doing such a great job for our dishes! We're trying to switch away from all plastics as soon as I became aware that's what's around those little pods and we've been looking for an affordable, natural cleaning solution. I think this one will be on our list for a long time! We have well water and use a water softener for reference. We run a load every night as well.

Thank you to Target for wrapping my powdered dishwasher detergent in a clear, secure plastic bag inside the box. It just so happens that it was raining when the package was delivered to my doorstep. The outer box was a soggy mess. The two boxes of powdered dishwasher detergent would have been ruined if not for the added security of securing them individually in plastic bags. I love this 7th Generation products, including this diswasher detergent. Thank you for carrying it.

Used to be available in 75 ounce and now you can only buy 45 ounce. Retailers selling it for even more than the 75 ounce used to cost. Rinse aid Required if you have hard water.

I love how they kept trying to gaslight reviewers into thinking it's the same formula. Then someone posted a photo of both old and new boxes. Wow. I guess they didn't think anyone would do that? I am livid at this company for taking away the nicely working 75 oz box of powder. I won't say anything else, other reviewers have already covered it.

Thank you so soooo much for having a plastic free option!!! Cleans great. Both our dishwashers say don’t use gels so I’m thrilled there’s a powder version of Seventh Generation dishwasher soap. I wish they still sold it in the big 75 oz box.

I was trying to get away from the pods, less plastic so I tried both liquid and powder detergents. They work... okay... but not great. Pods just seem to clean better. Liquid/powder seemed to always leave weird bits on the dishes so they never seemed quite as clean.
