Amazon.com Product Description:
Seventh Generation 2X Laundry Concentrate is tough on dirt but gentle on your clothes and the environment. This non-toxic, biodegradable, and phosphate-free laundry concentrate is specially formulated for high-efficiency and standard machines and is completely free of all irritating and potentially harmful scents.
Completely Natural Cleaning Power for Your Clothes
Seventh Generation 2X Laundry Concentrate is tough on dirt and stains, while being completely free of phosphates, optical brighteners, bleach and other ingredients that are harmful for your and your environment. This concentrate is made from a low-foaming blend of naturally derived cleaning agents (coconut-derived surfactants, glycerin), natural water softeners, alkalinity builders, and anti-redeposition agents (sodium citrate, borax), non-animal-derived enzymes to remove protein and starch stains and protect fabrics, plant-derived anti-foaming agents (glycerol monooleate, oleic acid), and cleaning enhancers (calcium chloride).
Non-toxic, hypo-allergenic, biodegradable, and Kosher-certified, Seventh Generation 2X Laundry Concentrate is completely phosphate- and dye-free, is safe for septic and greywater systems, and has never been tested on animals.
What's Wrong with Phosphates and Optical Brighteners
Phosphates are natural minerals that, when used in detergents, can reduce water hardness, which allows the detergent's soap to clean more effectively, and prevent dirt from being redeposited back onto the items being cleaned. However, once the phosphates are released back into the environment via household wastewater, the results can be disastrous to the environment.
Phosphates encourage algae growth, which directly leads to a decrease in the oxygen supply in water ways--a situation that can ultimately leads to the deaths of living organisms, and eventually the entire waterway.
Similarly, optical brighteners have long been used to clean our laundry. They help mask any yellowing that may be present in the treated material and makes the material seem brighter and whiter than it would otherwise naturally appear to the eye by creating an enhanced 'whiter-than-white' surface that doesn't get clothes any cleaner but simply makes them look that way.
Many of the chemicals in optical brighteners, however, are toxic to fish and other aquatic life, are slow to degrade, and can cause mutations in bacteria. And in terms of human health, exposure to optical brighteners, which remain on laundry by design, can cause eye irritations and skin reactions in sensitive individuals.
Why Clean Naturally?
Unlike many conventional laundry concentrates detergents, the Seventh Generation 2X Laundry Concentrate 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 bottle of 50-ounce 2X petroleum-based liquid laundry detergent with the Seventh Generation 2X Laundry Concentrate, we could save 233,000 barrels of oil, enough to heat and cool 13,400 U.S. homes for a year! Additionally, thousands of tons of phosphates and other harmful chemicals will be removed from our ecosystem.
Also, concentrated laundry detergents come with great environmental benefits. Each bottle of 2X concentrated detergent is half the size of a bottle of regular laundry detergent and washes the same number of loads. In addition to requiring less fuel to ship the detergent to you, the entire manufacturing process is more efficient--using less water, less packaging, and less fuel.
Free & Clear of Fragrances--Because You Want it That Way
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. But many people are sensitive to fragrances or dyes, or prefer unscented products. This Free & Clear Laundry Concentrate is made entirely without fragrances.
Many conventional products call their products 'free,' but in fact mask the smell of their surfactants (detergents) with added fragrances. Seventh Generation products are truly free and clear of added fragrances, and have been confirmed to be hypo-allergenic through independent testing.

Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Pricy and not so great!
We have purchased this product as well as some others such as Mrs. Myers organic laundry detergents. And have run into the same problems with all of them. They cost significantly more, and you have to use a lot of it to get anything "clean"! They dont seem to clean nearly as well as regualr detergents,and for sure, don't get any stinch out of clothing! Even when pre-treated with vinegar and baking soda! We are a military family, and most of our loads are soiled and stinky, as well as large or extra ... Read More
Rating:  - Great Detergent!
I've been using this detergent for at least a decade if not longer, but I have a whole new appreciation for it after my daughter rolled in the dirt while wearing new white pajamas. (Don't ask. Just chalk it up to very poor judgement on both parents' parts.) They were FILTHY. I washed them in cold water using this stuff and they came out looking like new. I'd really given up hope on the pajamas, they were so dirty. But Seventh G came to the rescue!
I've had great luck using this stuff on ... Read More
Rating:  - Fabulous detergent, but maybe not by mail...
I love this laundry detergent, hands down, no complaints.
I will think twice before ordering it from Amazon again though - I opened the box to find that one (or more) of the bottles had leaked, just a little, all over the box. I had to wash all the bottles before I could put them away. I'm sure the tape around the cap helps keep most of the detergent in, but some still managed to leak out. Next time, I will probably just purchase this detergent at the grocery store.
Rating: - Best laundry soap ever.
I love Seventh Generations products. They are allergen free and safe for the environment. I have never had a problem with any of their products. I use the laundry soap, dishwasher soap, dish soap and baby wipes. Super prices for all on Amazon.
Rating: - Seventh Generation Detergent
This shipment arrived in perfect shape-no leaking and I enjoy the product immensely. Don't care to buy petroleum products that hurt the environment.
