XP: Opinions on Seventh Generation

RNandLovinIt

I keep seeing the commercials for these products. I am interested in using eco-friendly cleaning supplies once the regular ones we have are done, especially once we move into our new home. 

If you do not care for Seventh Generation, do you have any other suggestions for great cleaning, that leaves a super clean fresh result.

Thanks!

They're more expensive than conventional cleaning products, and like mw says, you can make your own for less than conventional cleaning products. And "making" really isn't a serious chore, I use 1 or 2 ingredients in most cases.

But I think they're a good stepping stone for people used to buying "____ cleaner" in a bottle.

Agreed.  It was our stepping stone from conventional to making my own cleaners, which really is not hard at all.  We still use the laundry detergent when it's on sale.

I use it and I really like it.

I also make my own products, but have not been able to get the dishwasher detergent right so it gets everything off the dishes and doesn't leave them all spotty, so I do use 7th Gen for the dishwasher detergent and like it a lot. It was the more affordable of the "green" choices available to me at my grocery store (Ecover and one other one I can't remember).

I have begun to make my own as well.  I use 7th gen dish soap but will no longer since it contains SLS....So I will no longer be using any of their products

I use their cleaners and really like them.

I'm also going to stop using their laundry detergent and dish soap though since is has SLS - that really annoyed me to find that out.

I love their all purpose cleaner so much though that I'll keep using it.  I tried to make my own, but DH hated the smell, so I go with that.

For laundry detergetnt, I use crunchy clean - www.crunchyclean.com

Still up in the air on dish washer detergent though.
