Review & Giveaway: Seventh Generation Free and Clear Starter Kit

Seventh Generation has some amazing products! I received the Free and Clear Starter Kit which is doing a great job of keeping things clean without irritating my extra-sensitive skin.


Plant-derived Cleaning Agents Cut tough grease to give you clean dishes
Cornstarch-derived Water Softener Removes water hardness and maintains pH balance
Cleaning Enhancer Increases effectiveness of plant-derived cleaning agents
This product is formulated to be safe for your family and the environment. Our unique ingredient combination is a non-toxic, hypoallergenic, biodegradable alternative to conventional, petroleum-based dish liquids.

You have seen the commercials where a person is brushing their teeth and then when they finish and open their mouth, you see the sparkle on their teeth, that is what this dish soap does. I love it.



Water Softeners Remove water hardness for enhanced cleaning performance
Protection Agent, Alkalinity Builder Helps to protect dishes and dishwasher parts; helps achieve target pH
Anti-spotting Agent Provide sheeting action and anti-spotting performance
This product is formulated to be safe for your family and the environment. Our unique ingredient combination is a phosphate free, chlorine free, biodegradable alternative to conventional dishwashing pouches.

This is such a convenient way to do your dishes.  You don't have to worry about measuring or making a mess.  Plus, you don't have to worry about chemicals.



Plant-derived Cleaning Agents Low-foaming, stain removing power for use in HE and standard machines
Water Softener Removes water hardness to improve cleaning power
Non-animal Derived Enzymes Premium-performance protein and starch stain removers (blood, grass, wine)
This product is formulated to be safe for your family and the environment. Our unique ingredient combination is non-toxic, non-irritating, hypoallergenic, biodegradable alternative to conventional petroleum-based detergents.

I am so happy with this detergent.  It works great! You don't have to use very much so it will last for a long, long time.



Canola-derived Fabric Softener Reduces static and fabric stiffness
Viscosity Control Agent Reduces thickness to avoid clogging dispenser and to improve product dispersion
This product is formulated to be safe for your family and the environment. Our unique ingredient combination is non-toxic, non-irritating, hypoallergenic, biodegradable alternative to conventional fabric softeners.

My clothes and towels have never been this soft!  I had never really realized how stiff my clothes and towels were until I used this fabric softener.  I'm a fan for life!



Plant-derived Cleaning Agents Effectively remove a wide variety of soils from hard surfaces
Mineral-derived Alkalinity Builder Helps achieve target pH for enhanced cleaning performance
Formulated to be safe for your family and the environment, this product does not create harsh fumes and is a non-toxic, biodegradable alternative to conventional petroleum-based cleaners.

I have tried a lot of All Purpose Cleaners because it is so much easier to go around using one type of cleaner instead of lugging around five or six.  Most of the time the product only really works well on one or two different surfaces.  That is not the case with this cleaner.  I used it everywhere, table, windows, mirrors, bookshelves, pretty much everywhere.  It's awesome!


Plant-derived Cleaning Agent Provides a streak-free shine without leaving harmful residues
Formulated to be safe for your family and the environment, this product does not create harsh fumes and is a non-toxic, biodegradable alternative to conventional petroleum-based cleaners.

I have pretty bad allergies and one thing that always sets my sinuses off is cleaning supplies.  Windex is the worst.  My nasal passage feel like they are on fire and I can't stop sneezing.  Luckily, this cleaner didn't do that at all.  Once again natural products prove to be the better choice.
  • Features and Benefits



    • Kills Influenza A Virus including H1N1
    • EPA Registered
    • Quick and easy cleaning
    • Disinfects while you clean
    • Effectively controls odors
    • Will not harm hard, nonporous surfaces
Again, these a great product that doesn't send my allergies into a frenzy.  I can kill germs without the unnecessary ingredients in other brands.



  • 100% recycled paper (minimum 80% post-consumer, 20% pre-consumer)
  • Hypo-allergenic
  • Whitened without chemicals containing chlorine or unwhitened
  • Strong and absorbent
  • Unscented
  • No added dyes and fragrances
These paper towels work just as great as other brands.  The only difference is that you are doing your part to save the environment by using Seventh Generations paper towels.


  • Kitchen Trash Bags: 55% recycled plastic (16% post-consumer, 39% pre-consumer)
  • Large Trash Bags: 80% recycled plastic (24% post-consumer, 56% pre-consumer)
These recycled trash bags are durable and work just as well as other brands.  But once again, you are doing your fair share by purchasing the recycled products.  

I really like Seventh Generations products.
