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

This has not been cleaning my dishes. I have been giving it a chance and it underperformed each time unfortunately. The powdered version was a little better but that is always out of stock at my Target. I will keep searching for a cleaner/safer and better cleaner.

Seventh Generation is not as chemical free as it claims to be. This dish soap did not foam up well and was fairly disappointing overall. I stopped using their products and went to a different cleaner option.

Not as effective as Cascade

Luckee - 4 months ago
I know I’ll sound like a spy, but I much prefer cascade over this. It will clean for the most part, but a few of the times there’s still food particles (where cascade always gets all the particles, including on days old crusted plates) or sometimes some dusty white residue. I got this jug for free from my neighbor so I can’t complain too much, but I will spend the extra money to get cascade after this jug runs out.

Did not clean effectively. Most dishes were left with food particles. Those that weren’t had a weird film residue and lots of spotting. Even after three heavy duty cycles with this same detergent, my dishes were not clean. One quick cycle with a pod and voila. Clean dishes. Negative stars and a total waste of my money.

This one sucks, I’ve been using it for awhile and I realize it’s been the detergent and not the dishwasher that sucks. It leaves a powder behind in the dishes too. So never use for baby products.

It’s super pricey but it saves me time by not washing every bit of food off first. Just stick it in there and it’s perf
