In our MommyReview household we have a HE (high-efficiency) washing machine. HE machines usually require 1/3 of what a standard machine uses in detergent. It is important to not over-soap your loads of laundry. Seventh Generation using plant-derived agents and enzymes for cleaning power that is safer for our environment both in-home and out.  I often wonder what chemicals are rubbing against my families skin. Do you wonder ? With Seventh Generation – their product ingredients are listed in plain English, they don’t try to sugar coat what is in their product, they don’t try to hide it with big words the normal consumer does not understand, they help you understand what is in their products so you can make an educated decision for your self and family. We tested a sample of the Blue Eucalyptus and Lavender liquid laundry detergent. When I first opened the product I loved the clean, crisp smell, that brought back memories of sitting under the silver-dollar eucalyptus tree that took up a corner of my childhood backyard.  I liked that I could understand what ingredients were in the product and that it explained for HE machines only a 1/3 of the product needs to be used. Many HE detergents do not explain this and people over use the detergent. In our household we all have sensitive skin,  so it was also a plus that there are no dyes in the product as well. The directions also gave helpful tips on saving energy, wash in cold. A HUGE PLUS is that in a worst case scenario if a child attempted to drink this product, or opened and spilled it – IT IS NOT POISONOUS! Now – this does not mean to go out and consume the product but it is comforting knowing that a product is safe around your children (just in case!). We are testing this product on a load of Whites to see how the cleaning power works, so we are off to finish the load to report back on how are WHITE load comes out….
