Q: What is the recommended amount for soft water?

submitted by Jen - 8 months ago
  • A: Thanks for asking! We recommend filling the main dispenser cup according to machine directions. For very hard water we recommend using Seventh Generation Rinse Aid - we hope this helps.

Q: Is there plastic in the packaging for this item?

submitted by kris - 9 months ago
  • A: Thanks for asking for our Free & Clear Auto Dishwasher Detergent Powder. Unfortunately, our cardboard box packaging for our dishwasher powdered detergents is not recyclable. The box is coated with a plastic layer which is necessary on all powdered detergent and serves as a moisture barrier to protect the powder from humidity and moisture, which can ruin the detergent. This coating used to be on the interior of the dish detergent box, so you may not have noticed it before. Having this coating on the exterior of the packaging helps to protect the box. We're actively looking to develop a better, biodegradable humidity coating and hope to have it nailed down soon! We hope this helps!

Q: HOW MANY CYCLES DOES THIS COVER?

submitted by Pat Keith - 1 year ago
  • A: Thanks for reaching out about our Free + Clear Auto Dishwasher Detergent! Based on volume of product and that standard dishwasher detergent compartments hold 1 oz. of detergent, will handle 45 loads. Actual loads handled can vary, based on size of load and amount of detergent used, based on how heavily soiled dishes are. We hope this helps!

This powder works great for us! We have issues with this brand's pods because the plastic is always melting and getting stuck in the detergent holder or the detergent is just doing a poor job, so we were delighted to find this powder is doing such a great job for our dishes! We're trying to switch away from all plastics as soon as I became aware that's what's around those little pods and we've been looking for an affordable, natural cleaning solution. I think this one will be on our list for a long time! We have well water and use a water softener for reference. We run a load every night as well.

Thank you to Target for wrapping my powdered dishwasher detergent in a clear, secure plastic bag inside the box. It just so happens that it was raining when the package was delivered to my doorstep. The outer box was a soggy mess. The two boxes of powdered dishwasher detergent would have been ruined if not for the added security of securing them individually in plastic bags. I love this 7th Generation products, including this diswasher detergent. Thank you for carrying it.

Used to be available in 75 ounce and now you can only buy 45 ounce. Retailers selling it for even more than the 75 ounce used to cost. Rinse aid Required if you have hard water.

I love how they kept trying to gaslight reviewers into thinking it's the same formula. Then someone posted a photo of both old and new boxes. Wow. I guess they didn't think anyone would do that? I am livid at this company for taking away the nicely working 75 oz box of powder. I won't say anything else, other reviewers have already covered it.

We like this dishwasher detergent very much. It cleans well, cost effective, unscented and pure ingredients. We prefer the powder over the liquid and was recommended by our plumber.

Thank you so soooo much for having a plastic free option!!! Cleans great. Both our dishwashers say don’t use gels so I’m thrilled there’s a powder version of Seventh Generation dishwasher soap. I wish they still sold it in the big 75 oz box.

I was trying to get away from the pods, less plastic so I tried both liquid and powder detergents. They work... okay... but not great. Pods just seem to clean better. Liquid/powder seemed to always leave weird bits on the dishes so they never seemed quite as clean.

not sure how much the price changed bc it’s not in my history. i was surprised when i put the box next to my old one that it was now 45oz instead of 75oz. i googled and saw house brands selling 75oz for the same price, so not sure this is the best product still. hopefully at least works the same

I ran out of seventh Gen. for a little bit and I went out and bought a different brand because that's all I could find about the main brand that you always see anyway. My dishes My glasses and my silverware will work horrible. After that it left this film on him. I couldn't even hardly rub it off by hand. So obviously I ditched that brand and I found the seventh more seventh generation and i'm in heaven again it's a wonderful stuff.

I initially bought it due to the packaging in that it's cardboard, not plastic. I love Seventh Generation and this dishwasher detergent powder works perfectly like their other products. It cleans everything well and doesn't leave any residue on any of the glasses and dishes.
