Review: Natural Dish Soap from Seventh Generation

It is no secret that I am NOT a domestic goddess. In fact, just the thought of going grocery shopping brings on an instant migraine. I would rather be building something in my workshop than whipping up a casserole in the kitchen. If hubby wants new kitchen cabinets, I’m all over it. If he wants fried chicken, we end up at KFC.

Don’t get me we wrong, I love a clean house that smells so fresh. So when I was asked to do a review for natural dish soap I was a bit hesitant because that would mean I’d have to wash dirty dishes (yucko!), and besides all dish soap is the same…right?

Well, let me be the first to tell you that I am wrong! All dish soap is not the same. From the moment I squirted Seventh Generation’s dish liquid into the water, the aroma was clean and fresh. The dishes seemed to sparkle more and my hands were so soft. Usually I need lotion after putting my hands in soapy water, not after doing dishes with Seventh Generation.

The power of scent is remarkable. It can have positive effects on your mood, reduce stress, and even help you sleep better. But not all scents are created equal. The fruit, floral and herbal ingredients used to create the scents in Seventh Generation’s new natural dish liquid come from fields, not factories.

Seventh Generation dish liquid contains only essential oils and botanical extracts, and delivers real cleaning power. Your tableware will be left fresh and ready to serve your next home cooked meal.

With authentic ingredients like lavender from the fields of Drome in the foothills of the Alps, clementines from sunny Calabria and lemons from the soils of Sicily, Seventh Generation natural dish liquid is free of unnecessary synthetic colors or chemically engineered scents.

DID YOU KNOW…If every household in the U.S. replaced just one bottle of 25 oz. petroleum-based dishwashing liquid with our plant-derived product, we could save 5.2 MILLION gallons of oil, the equivalent to removing 11,000 cars from the road for one year.

I can honestly say that I am a true fan of Seventh Generation and will continue to use their products. Another thing that impresses me is their mission. I love how they are stepping up the plate and doing their part to make a difference in our world. Love it, love it, love it!
