Product Description

Features All-temperature Laundry Liquid uses powerful coconut-oil-based detergents to remove dirt, grime and stains effectively in cold or warm water. Fragrance-free. Includes convenient measuring cap. 16 loads per 50 oz. bottle. USA. Sold in case of 6.

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.

About Seventh Generation
Seventh Generation offers a complete line of natural household products designed to work as well as their traditional counterparts, but use renewable, non-toxic, phosphate-free, and biodegradable ingredients as often as possible, and are never tested on animals. Seventh Generation products are healthy and safe for the air, the surfaces, the pets, and the people in your home--and for the environment outside of it. Every time you use Seventh Generation products you make a difference by saving natural resources, keeping toxic chemicals out of the environment, and making the world a safer place for this and the next seven generations.

Specially formulated for high-efficiency and standard machines, our new Free & Clear 2X-formula Laundry Liquid features the same powerful performance of our Natural Laundry Detergents, but in a concentrated form. You use less detergent and we use less water (by not having to dilute detergent) and less plastic in our packaging.

- Great for allergies!
I bought some at a local store as I have had rashes off and on for 7 months. It cleans the clothes real good. A little bit goes a long way. I am pleased to find a liquid that is safe for front loaders (He rated) as I don't like powders. It is pricy so I will continue to buy it locally for only a few cents more a bottle than on line. That way I don't have to buy so many at once.

- Fades colors first time using it!!!
One star for cleaning my cloths
One star for environmentally friendliness.

Minus 3 stars for fading $100 worth of my nice cloths.

I just moved into a house with a septic tank and wanted to buy something that could easily decompose and not cause any problems. My first load of laundry came out looking 1 year older, i didnt know what caused it. Im quite certain this detergent bleeds the dark colors out. Also, some of my underwear came out looking stretchy, but that coulda been my machine, or maybe i had it in the dryer too long, i dont know, i just know it fades colors, i confirmed that twice!!! ...

- 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 large in size. So, you have to use at least a cap full, if not more for the size load (following the instructions on the back) and ... Read More
