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

I read reviews a lot for the products I purchase on amazon.com, so I thought I'd post one about the Seventh Generation Liquid Dish Soap that I received by UPS today. I had already read about some people's problems with spilled dish soap inside of the package, so I wasn't too surprised when I opened mine to find a soapy mess inside! A couple of the caps had popped open during shipping. It looks like I lost only about 1/4 of a bottle, which isn't too bad. The problem could easily be solved by taping the caps closed before shipping. However, I will point out that the order was double boxed. The small box which contained the bottles was a Seventh Generation box, taped closed, which was packaged inside of a larger amazon.com box with some brown paper to keep it secure. It seems to be more of a problem with Seventh Generation's packaging than amazon.com's, but you'd think they would do something about it to keep their customers happy. Still, Amazon's price is so much better than what I've found in local stores...especially when you account for the free shipping. If the shipping problem bothers you, you may want to buy locally. As far as the effectiveness of the dish soap goes, I find that I have to use a little more soap than when I used brands like Dawn or Joy. However, I'm so much happier with the natural ingredients in Seventh Generation's brand, so it's worth the extra soap and elbow grease!

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

I HAVE NEVER TRIED THIS DETERGENT, BUT THE BOX CAME TO ME SOAKED WITH SOAP...2 OF THE BOTTLES OPENED AND THERE WAS LIQUID DISH DETERGENT EVERYWHERE. IT TOOK QUITE A WHILE TO CLEAN UP THE MESS, THE WATER JUST CREATED MORE SOAP, SO I RINSED AND RINSED AND RINSED.

AMAZON....PLEASE REFUND, OR SEND ME TWO NEW BOTTLES, WITH THE LIDS TAPED, PLEASE

I have used 7th generation before, but never this scent before, which I cannot find locally. I love the lemongrass and clementine zest, it's sweet and still fresh. I also love the fact that I don't have to use a ton of liquid to get all my dishes clean - a little goes a long way!

I absolutely love this stuff. I actually enjoy hand washing dishes plus it makes a good hand soap too.

This is pretty much just dish soap. Really, the only thing making it special is it's eco-freindly-ness, which is enough for me to keep buying it :)! It has a nice clean scent and is gentle on hands. It cleans my dishes well. I use a dishwasher, but it is old, and touchy about food bits on the dishes. When something gets baked on to a pan or something, I like to fill the pan with hot water and this soap and let it sit for a while. When I come back it scrapes off easily with a sponge or rag.
