 BEST DISH SOAP BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SMELL LIKE PERFUME! August 30, 2010
Katheist (Oregon)
I bought this because it has natural coconut and no perfume. When I grew up we used Joy dish soap, it was the one that left the least perfumy smell and taste on dishes. I think we may have used some Ajax lemon scented some too.
As soon as Sunlight dish soap came out, that's pretty-much all we used, because it didn't leave any dish soapy smell or taste. I remember that some of the worst offenders were Palmolive, Ajax anti-baterial orange, and Dawn. My friend once made me some Dawn flavored chile. She had used a teflon pan and always used Dawn. Dawn is nasty, it even makes your dishes smell like Dawn. But, I have found most humans can't smell worth a darn, nor taste all that well, so I guess it's fine for them. But, I have keen senses and that's why I use Seventh Generation free and clear.
Aside from getting the dishes clean, the biggest benefit is that you can wash carrots and potatoes, and other vegetables with it (I scrub them with the scratchy side of a Scotch-Brite sponge. It leaves no taste on them whatsoever.
I try to use gloves when I do dishes, but when I forget, I notice this soap leaves my hands soft.
The only downside is yes, it isn't as powerful of grease-cutter as Dawn and others, but it will get it off if you use a little more and scrub a little harder. With most dishes, it does a fine job.
Also, it is more vicous than any dish soap I have ever used, so it takes a more to do dishes and I go through a lot of it. Think of the difference in thickness between non-fat milk and whole milk, and that's similar to what I'm talking about. That's why amazon having it in 6 bottle packs is good. I go through a bottle every 2 to 3 months, so not too bad. I recommend this product.
Some have complained about Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. Here's what the Seventh Generation website says:
Seventh Generation uses SLS in our hand dish liquid, our disinfectants and our laundry liquids. Prior to using the SLS, Seventh Generation used sodium lauryl ether sulfate, or sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), in our liquid laundry and liquid dish detergents. This is a naturally-derived chemical that comes from palm kernel oil and coconut oil. We do have a comprehensive document based on scientific data that we are happy to share with you.

Truth about SLS and SLES
Published 06/09/2008 11:32 AM | Updated 03/23/2009 12:53 PM
Is it true sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) cause cancer, blindness, or hair loss?Neither sodium laurate (coconut soap), SLS, nor SLES is known to cause cancer, nor are they known to be teratogens or reproductive toxins. Neither do sodium laurate, SLS, or SLES cause blindness. They can be irritants, and the inflammation they may cause almost always clears in a few hours. This is also true of soaps. The booklet "The Truth behind the Ingredient Myths" produced by another natural products company, discusses this in greater detail.
The Danish EPA has produced an excellent document that discusses household product ingredients, and SLS and SLES are discussed in Section 3.1 and 3.2, respectively. The discussion of toxicity and irritancy is quite detailed. The document is also a handy reference about other household chemicals.
Great Product August 26, 2010

We have used a full bottle of Seventh Generation Dish Liquid, Lavender and have had good results, both with the cleaning and the way it's easy on you hands. A small amount of liquid produces a lot of suds.
 Nice Eco-Alternative August 13, 2010

It's a nice eco-friendly alternative to chemical liquid soaps and gentle on hands. However, I wish it were more tough on grease and food smells. The one I purchased at my local store only had the Fresh & Clear (unscented)so I never got to try the scented ones. It wasn't as tough on grease and food odors from my tupperware as I hoped and would sometimes leave a clear residue or speckles on glassware. The bottle goes a long way and I found I didn't use or need as much to clean dishes (unless greasy or to get rid of odor). After my first purchase I decided to try a different brand called Biokleen (since my store only has Fresh & Clear)and am happy with the results and will be using it instead.
 Great, wish it was bigger July 10, 2010

Have used this for over a year now, trying to do our part to save our planet. It does the job, just wish it came in bigger bottles!
