Seventh Generation Natural Laundry Detergent 42 Loads -- 112 oz

Seventh Generation Natural Laundry Detergent 42 Loads -- 112 oz

Unlike many conventional cleaning products, we use only those ingredients that do not pose any chronic health risks and are safe for the environment.  .   • With Non-Chlorine Bleach.   • Effective in Cold Water.   • Brightens Colors.   • Ultra Concentrated.   • Color Safe.   • Biodegradable.   • Safe for Septic and Greywater Systems.   • 42 Loads.  . Specially formulated for HE and standard machines. You Are Making a Difference™. If every household in the U.S. replaced just one box of 42 load petroleum based powder laundry detergent with our plant based product, we could save 238,000 barrels of oil, enough to heat and cool 13,600 U.S. homes for a year!  . Make Even More Of a Difference! This product is specially formulated to work well in cold water. Up to 90% of the energy required by a washing machine goes into heating the water it uses. If everyone in the U.S. washed their clothes in cold water, we could easily save 1% of national CO2 emissions and billions in energy costs.  . Our natural laundry detergent is tough on dirt and stains, but gentle on your clothes and the earth. Unlike conventional laundry detergents, ours won't leave residues that can irritate sensitive skin.  . Why are plant based cleaners better? Most laundry detergents are made from petroleum based cleaners which use oil, a precious, limited natural resource that will someday be depleted. Our plant based cleaners are made from a renewable resource and therefore save petroleum.  . What are optical brighteners? Found in most laundry detergents (but of course not ours) these fluorescent chemicals converts ultra-violet light to blue-white light that makes white appear whiter. They don't readily biodegrade and are often toxic to aquatic life.  . What are phosphates? Phosphates are used in detergents to soften water. Phosphates can cause algae blooms in lakes and ponds than can lead to suffocation of aquatic plants and animals.

works great, great value, March 2, 2009
By redapplekim from NY, NY

"smells nice and fresh. works really well, i only needed a little for an average sized load. if your machine is designed just for liquids, you can add enough water to a cup full to make a paste. And the non-chlorine bleach thing actually works, i cleaned my white clothes by hand in india with this stuff and it was perfectly clean! And so much nicer to your skin and then environment."
