Ecover Automatic Dishwashing Tablets, 18-Ounce Box (Pack of 5) Review

Ecover Automatic Dishwashing Tablets, 18-Ounce Box
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am trying to use eco friendly products. But they have to work just as well as normal products.

I first tried the Seventh Generation liquid gel detergent. That was unacceptable (left white film, didn't clean).

So I was surprised that this worked well. The only warning is that I think it tends to affect aluminum things (makes them darker). It disclaims this on the packaging. Otherwise it's perfect.

I used to use Electrasol tablets so these tablets are about the same size and perform similarly.

EDIT (Aug 2009):
I reviewed this years ago before the appalling price hike. I still use this but I buy it locally until Amazon sells it directly (eligible for free shipping) for the old price.

I have extremely sensitive skin, and I'm allergic to most laundry detergents.The trouble with free & clear detergents is that most of the time, they don't actually work.I went through several brands that left my clothes grimy before I found this stuff.I've been using it for about a year now, and I'm very happy with how clean it gets my clothes.Ordering it online is a lot cheaper than buying it in the store, too.

Seventh Generation Liquid Dish Detergent, Lemongrass & Clementine Zest Scent, 25-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 12) Review

Seventh Generation Liquid Dish Detergent, Lemongrass & Clementine Zest  Scent, 25-Ounce Bottles
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have used various scents of Seventh Generation dish soap for the last few years, and the stuff has been great.The previous reviewer either has no idea of what she is talking about, or has posted her review on the wrong product website.This stuff actually leaves LESS of a soapy film on both hands and dishes than big brand detergents such as Dawn and Palmolive. It is gentler on your hands and easier to rinse off.All this, and it cleans as well as any dish soap I've ever used.It smells pleasant, but not in the overpowering and artificial perfumy way that the standard brands usually smell.You can't go wrong with this, and you'll be doing the evironment a favor by buying a fully biodegradable soap.Highly recommended!

Product Description:

Seventh Generation Liquid Dish Detergent is powerful enough to get your dishes sparkling clean, yet gentle on your hands and the Earth. Made with a refreshing Lemongrass and Clementine Zest scent and all-natural ingredients that do not pose any health risks to you or your environment, this dish detergent is made with the well-being of you and the Earth in mind.
Completely Natural Cleaning Power for Your Dishes
Seventh Generation Liquid Dish Detergent is tough on dirt and grease while being completely free of chlorine, ammonia, strong acids, and petroleum-based ingredients. This biodegradable, non-toxic dish detergent is made from a combination of naturally derived cleaning agents (coconut-based surfactants) and natural whole plant essences that will clean your dishes without leaving any harmful residues behind.
Non-toxic, biodegradable, hypo-allergenic, Kosher-certified and phosphate-free, this gently scented Seventh Generation Dish Detergent is safe for septic and gray water systems and has never been tested on animals.
Why Clean Naturally?
Unlike many conventional dish detergents, the Seventh Generation Liquid Dish Detergent does not create unpleasant fumes, will not leave harmful residues, and is safer for the environment. Plant-derived cleaners are made from renewable resources rather than from petroleum. Studies show that making household cleaners from plant-derived materials uses less energy than making the same cleaners from petroleum. Using less energy helps reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.
If every household in the U.S. replaced just one 25-ounce bottle of petroleum based dishwashing liquid with this plant-derived product, we could save 86,000 barrels of oil--enough to heat and cool 4,900 U.S. homes for a year!
The Right (Natural) Fragrance for your Home
Our sense of smell is powerful and evocative. Experiencing a scent unfold can transform our mood, transport us to distant places, or connect us through a shared experience. When you use natural cleaners, not only do you care for the health of the environment, you also care for the health of the people in your home. The scents in Seventh Generation household cleaners are created from whole and natural plant essences, and let you clean without harsh or unpleasant chemicals and odors.
Lemongrass and Clementine Zest is a gentle scent that is designed to be joyful, warming, and harmonizing. It brings a sense of the exotic to your kitchen and is made from a blend of clementine, bergamot, blood orange, lemongrass, and elemi whole plant essences.
About Seventh Generation
Seventh Generation offers a complete line of natural household products designed to work as well as their traditional counterparts, but use renewable, non-toxic, phosphate-free, and biodegradable ingredients as often as possible, and are never tested on animals. Seventh Generation products are healthy and safe for the air, the surfaces, the pets, and the people in your home--and for the environment outside of it. Every time you use Seventh Generation products you make a difference by saving natural resources, keeping toxic chemicals out of the environment, and making the world a safer place for this and the next seven generations.

Environne Fruit & Vegetable Wash, 16-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 6) Review

Environne Fruit & Vegetable Wash, 16-Ounce Bottles
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Have been using Environne for quite a while. Been purchasing it from Trader Joe's, but they have discontinued it at our local store in Roseville. This product is soooooo good and easy to use. Just a little goes a long way. For grapes, lettuce etc. when washing, just put a little in the water and swish around, rinse and ready to cook/serve. For fruit such as apples, pears, etc. just put a little in your hand and rub then rinse. It sure takes a lot off of your mind to know that your veg/fruits are clean of any bugs, spray etc.

Was so pleased that Amazon now has it, and the price is GREAT!!!

I'm always trying to give environmentally-safe products a chance and sometimes they disappoint me.Not this time - I love this product!It smells wonderful - like true lavender essential oil and not the overpowering, chemically-based lavender scent of some of the newer, more mainstream products.The detergent is environmentally friendly, and it's safe for my septic system.I especially love using this detergent on my sheets so that I have a nice lavender haven to lull me to sleep each night.What more could I ask for?I'm sold on this product.

I am so happy to have found an organic coconut body product that has a true coconut fragrance, and won't fill your body with harmful toxins. I was using the creamy coconut shower cream and body butter from the Body Shop until I found out how toxic the ingredients are. I love this product and plan to try some others.

Excellent product.Works well and is better for the environment than most better-known brands.The spouts on the boxes are not sealed, so a dusting of powder was in the shipping carton.I just opened the carton on the porch so that it would not make a mess in the house.Other than that it was a well intact carton for as heavy as it was.Good product and packed well for shipping.

Seventh Generation Automatic Dishwasher Powder, Free & Clear, 75-Ounces Boxes, Case Pack, (Pack of 8) Review

Seventh Generation Automatic Dishwasher Powder, Free & Clear, 75-Ounces Boxes, Case Pack,
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I try to be a good environmental consurmer, but I won't use a natural product that doesn't work.I've used Seventh Generation for over 5 years in a new dishwasher, and have had no problems.I have a septic system now, so I don't like to use bleach, but even when I lived in a city, I used this stuff. I've run out a couple times and had to use Cascade for a day or two (I live in the country -- they don't stock this stuff here) and my dishes were no cleaner than with 7th Gen. which is way better for people and the environment.

I have read that dry dishwashing powder can get bad if it is old, so I only buy two boxes at a time.Perhaps the reviewers who've had problems are using old product.I think it absorbs moisture when stored under your sink, and may then clump in in your DW.

I use vinegar in my rinse-aid container or Liquid Jet Dry.

I recently bought this product, trying to go with something that's good for the environment and was eligible for Prime shipping. So, without any reviews I had to go with this product and see if it works.

The dishes, cups, silverware came out sparkling clean. Not a spot, and even dries pretty spotless without any additional products. Definitely a good product and worth trying it out.
