Seventh Generation Powder Laundry, Mandarin & Sandalwood 50 oz (1.42 kg)

Comments about Seventh Generation Powder Laundry, Mandarin & Sandalwood, 50 oz:

I've been using the Seventh Generation liquid laundry detergent but after seeing the reviews, decided to try this and I just love it. It cleans even better than the liquid and leaves the clothes soft, and with minimal wrinkling. It has a light, pleasant scent.

My flannel nightgown was getting little scratchy and this left it very soft. I was also having a little skin irritation and this seems to be less irritating to my skin.

I've always added baking soda and washing soda to my laundry so this means that I don't have to add so much since it already has baking soda and washing soda incorporated in it. You also have to use just a little bit per load. I also love the container.

All in all, it's a really great laundry product and I'm going to switch to using it instead of my previous product.

I prefer to use green products. Seventh Generation offers many high quality products that are environment-friendly.
I have sensitive skin. This product is gentle enough for all my laundry, including hand-wash, and it does not irritate my skin.
Pleasant scent. Gets clothes clean. Economical, lasts a long time.

the sandalwood scent is very overpowering in this powder. It smells exactly like really cheap laundry soap. Too strong

I bought this because the scent sounded appealing and the container looked much better than the standard box powder.

I do love the round plastic container (which could be washed and reused for something once empty, perhaps to store household odds and ends).

The lid is quite large and I have smaller hands so I find it hard to get my hand around the whole lid to open. Someone with larger hands shouldn't have a problem.

The smell is light and fresh. It leaves behind a very slight scent, which I like. I am not big on my laundry smelling like the detergent, so the fact that this is so faint is good.

Do note, that the 70 uses is for medium loads. If you do full laundry loads (like I do, who does half loads?!?!), you'll need two scoops which means this container will only last 35 loads.

I've only done a few loads so far, so cannot comment on longterm usage, but so far so good.

i haven't used this specifically to treat stains, so i don't know the effectiveness in that category, but it does clean my clothes with a light, good smelling scent...i usually use liquid, but was interested in this product due to the price & load amount per container...i was sold by 70 loads even if you have a regular washing machine (which i do)...usually, for other detergents you'd have to double the amount of detergent...

I switched from 7th Generations liquid to this powder when I got my new front loader set. I loved the liquid & still use it - but this particular powder formula does a great job on everything! I wash my bed linens weekly & they were feeling like they weren't getting clean enough - I'm sure it's because I use ALOT of lotions, oils, etc. for my very dry skin & have many medical issues that often cause me more time in my bed that the average person. This powder formula has more lifting agents, brighteners, etc. (of course, all natural & plant based) & this seems to do a better job for me. Even some of my old favorite worn in t-shirts that were feeling funny - feel clean as can be now along with my linens! I also use 7th Gen liquid fabric softener & I love it!
They make another powder formula that comes in a box, is more oz., but does the same amount of loads & it's 6 dollars more. This one is concentrated. Many reviewers for the box didn't like the packaging, with this one it comes in a round plastic container with a screw top lid & a scoop inside! Very easy to store, use & it doesn't leak in shipping. I really love this stuff! Does a great job for everything.
