Cleaning Products for the Conscientious
By metropolitanmama | July 12, 2008
Isn’t it ironic how we “clean” our homes? We dump chemicals all over our floors and counters…and then mop and scrub to our heart’s content. And then we eat off those same counters and bathe in those same tubs and put our babies on those same floors. Scary…
Now I’m not saying that we should give up cleaning our homes altogether (that would be double gross…), but I do think that perhaps we could be a bit more conscientious about the products that we use. For example, we have a Swiffer in our house and I’ve all but stopped using it because that strong odor always infiltrates our house and makes me a bit nauseous…that can’t be good.
Lately, I’ve mostly been using Seventh Generation products. The scents are light (which I like) and they seem to do a good job.
“Seventh Generation brand-name products include: non-chlorine bleached, 100% recycled paper towels, bathroom and facial tissues, and napkins; non-toxic, phosphate-free cleaning, dish and laundry products; plastic trash bags made from recycled plastic; chlorine-free baby diapers, training pants, and baby wipes; and chlorine-free feminine care products, including organic cotton tampons.”
Want to try the products out for yourself? I have a Seventh Generation Living Home Starter Kit to give away to one reader. The kit includes a selection of SG’s most popular household cleaners:
- Ruby Grapefruit & Herb Natural Glass & Surface Cleaner
- Green Mandarin & Leaf Natural All-Purpose Cleaner
- Emerald Cypress & Fir Natural Toilet Bowl Cleaner
- Natural Citrus Scent Shower Cleaner
- Tub & Tile Cleaner
- 2 rolls of Natural Paper Towels
- Seventh Generation tote
YOUR TURN: Have you tried Seventh Generation products? What products do you use to clean your home?
WIN IT! One winner will receive a Seventh Generation Living Home Starter Kit ($44.99). To enter, leave a comment on this post prior to Saturday, July 19 at midnight (don’t forget to follow the rules). * Winner must provide a U.S. mailing address.
*UPDATE* The winner is #133 Suzette Ross. Congratulations!

Ooo, I didn’t know they made garbage bags. That’s neat. I have some non toxic cleaner that I’ve been using for years. It’s concentrated and it’s going to take me many more years to actually get through it all. I’ve actually been contemplating doling it out to friends just b/c I want to try something new! I could also use some new toilet bowl cleaner!
July 12th, 2008 at 9:46 am
I’ve become a lot more conscious of what’s in our cleaning products and other things around our house. We don’t use any candles anymore, because of the particles that are emitted. I’ve also started slowly replacing my old cleaning products with versions that are biodegradable and non-toxic, as my budget allows.
July 12th, 2008 at 10:28 am
I haven’t tried their products yet, but I am open to it. I have been trying out Mrs. Meyer’s products too. It has beeen a journey to quit using all the mainstream chemicals in our home. Even changing out our laundry detergent to a green product has allowed my son’s excema to go away. I had no clue that it was that causing my troubles. Anyway, thanks for entering me!
July 12th, 2008 at 10:41 am
I’ve never tried Seventh Generation products before but the flavors sound like they smell amazing! I love a nice smelling house, it helps me feel like it’s even cleaner (go figure). I use Method cleaning products from Target. I love their grapefruit scent!
July 12th, 2008 at 11:09 am
I use Seventh Generations “Free & Clear Natural Glass & Surface Cleaner,” as well as their toilet bowl cleaner, and I love them. Not only do they smell great, but they do a wonderful job cleaning. And the bonus is that they’re having minimal environmental impact. What better way to feel good about cleaning?
July 12th, 2008 at 11:26 am
Ahh, fantastic prize!!! I’ve only barely dipped my toes into natural home cleaning products, but I do have to say that I just love the Seventh Generation dish cleaning soap that I tried, but I can’t find the scent anymore, which really disappoints me. It was some sort of orange scent, I’m pretty sure. All I know is that the scents they offer now are different from what I used and loved the first time around. It did as good a job as my other dish soaps, but smelled a million times better! And I really like their labeling, showing you how much of an impact we’d have on the environment if people switched to their products. I’d really enjoy trying other products that they offer!
July 12th, 2008 at 11:32 am
I have not tried their products yet, I just recently heard about them, but I am very interested to try them. I use Windex, Scrubbing Bubbles, 409, and stuff like that. Thanks so much for the opportunity.
July 12th, 2008 at 11:39 am
We’re also trying to “green up” our cleaning regime. I use some Seventh Generation products and love them, as well as Method products from Target, which have great light/fresh scents and use minimal/recyclable packaging. We switched to Dropps laundry detergent 2 years ago and think it does a great job too. Great contest!

I haven’t tried their products yet, although I have been wanting to. Lately I have just been using vinegar and baking soda to clean the bathroom and kitchen. They work well, but the vinegar smells stinky.
July 12th, 2008 at 11:48 am
Oooo, I’m so excited about this! We’re in the process of “not replacing” all the yucky toxic things we use up. I’ve been relying a lot on castille soap lately, and am doing a lot of asking around about other natural, non-toxic options.
July 12th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
We’ve only used the seventh gen dish soap and like it a lot. I’d like to try some of their other products. They sound nice. We use some conventional cleaning products and occasionally I get on a baking soda and vinegar kick and clean more that way.
July 12th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
I have not tried Seventh Generation products yet, although I’ve heard about them and have been wanting to! I’ve been using some of the old classic cleaners as well as a few Method products.
July 12th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
My Mom introduced me to http://www.concernedmoms.com. It talks about all of the chemicals that are in the common household cleaners and the danger of them. Very interesting and VERY SCARY!!
July 12th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
I use Seventh Generation unscented automatic dishwashing detergent and LOVE it! No more horrible bleach scent wafting through the air as when we ran the dishwasher with Cascade.
July 12th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
I’ve been wanting to try the seventh generation stuff. I actually just got some stuff from lets go green.biz that is working really nice. Other than that I use the regular stuff from walmart.. clorox wipes, windex, pine sole.. all the stuff people are saying not to use that are going green. Yikes.. slap me now. I’m just now finding more green products available in my area that aren’t crazy expensive and that I don’ thave to special order or drive forever to get. Thanks for the chance to win.
July 12th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
I haven’t caught onto the green cleaning products yet! But I really think I need to. I do really love my Swiffer Wet Jet with the Febreeze scent. And I’m always trying out new cleaning products to figure out what works the best. Would love to try out more “natural” stuff.
July 12th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
I use their surface cleaner and am excited to try their diapers once our daughter arrives from Korea- come on travel call=)
For cleaning- i use bleach for the toilet, and baking soda for sinks.
July 12th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
I haven’t had a chance to try SG products, but I have heard such great things about them! I’m curious about how well the laundry detergent would work on my husband’s work uniforms! And I just LOVE all purpose cleaners…So versatile!
July 12th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
I haven’t tried Seventh Generation yet, but I’ve been thinking of switching to them or to Method or some other greener, cleaner choice. Thanks for the opportunity to try it out!
July 12th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
I haven’t tried these products yet. I’ve only recently heard about the SG Products. I would love the opportunity to try them.
July 12th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
THIS is a fantastic giveaway!!! Wow WOW WOW….I have not tried these particular products but I have tried the Green Works products because I can’t stand the chemical smell or what it does to my hands any longer! I would love to win this….promise I’ll follow the rules this time and reply!!!!! Ha!!
Thanks so much, have a super awesome weekend!!!
July 12th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
I have never used 7th Generation, I generally use Lysol, Clorox, Simple Green, and other super-strong stinking stuff. I’d love to try it for free though!!
July 12th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
We love 7th generation! We also use other “eco friendly” brands that we buy at Whole Foods, but 7th generation is our staple when we shop at the local grocery store. We use their all purpose spray and the dish washer liquid, as well as the laundry detergent.
Great stuff!
July 12th, 2008 at 4:27 pm
I haven’t yet tried Seventh Generation. I have tried the Clorox green works line and I find it works well. I would love to try these products as well…We all love a clean home. Thanks!
July 12th, 2008 at 6:11 pm
This looks like a rather nice package of cleaning goodies:) I’ve never tried Seventh Generation, but I’ve also used products from the Clorox Greenworks line and I like them.
July 12th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
I recently started using some Seventh Generation products and they do smell nice, not that chemical smell. I also use Clorox Greenworks products too. Both have worked good so far.
Thanks for a great giveaway!
July 12th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
we haven’t tried them yet! i am excited about trying the Green Mandarin & Leaf Natural All-Purpose Cleaner!
thanks!

July 12th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
i’ve tried the 7th gen dish soap and dishwasher soap, but i’d definitely love to try their all-purpose and glass cleaners.
recently been experimenting with green and SAFE cleaning products (not all green cleaning products are safe, go figure) to determine if they actually clean well and are economical.
i want to find a line of products that does the job well, is biodegradable, and non-toxic.
July 12th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
I’ve heard of these products, I’ve wanted to try them but have to finish using up the cleaning supplies from the big warehouse store first. I’ve seen their products at a health food store and it was a bit pricey. I am currently using Clorox Green Works as a step towards more conscious cleaning products. I don’t like the idea of chemicals that could make me faint cleaning the space that my kids are in. Small steps in that direction, it would be great to win the starter kit to then be able to determine if these products would be the new cleaning products for our family.
July 13th, 2008 at 4:00 am
Nice giveaway….cdziuba@aol.com
July 13th, 2008 at 4:03 am
I try to use plain water as much as possible. Otherwise I use Windex, and pledge. thank you for the contest
July 13th, 2008 at 4:24 am
I use Clorox green works and I love them! The green spray cleaner works well even on filthy blinds. I just take them outside, spray with cleaner, let them sit a moment and then spray clean with a hose. Very easy.
I’m always open to trying new products.
July 13th, 2008 at 4:33 am
I’ve never used these products, but would like to give them a try. If they work as well as the Windex all surface cleaner, All laundry detergent that I normally use, I’d be more than happy to pay the extra money to change! Thanks for another great giveaway!
July 13th, 2008 at 4:42 am
we haven’t tried them yet! i am excited about trying the Green Mandarin & Leaf Natural All-Purpose Cleaner
July 13th, 2008 at 4:45 am
Though I have never used Seventh Generation, I would love to try them. Any green product with good reviews sounds great to me. Currently I use Clorox green works, bleach, pledge, Simple Green and Tough and Tender wipes.
July 13th, 2008 at 4:46 am
have not tried them-Spic & Span
July 13th, 2008 at 5:21 am
The Fir Natural Toilet Bowl Cleaner is the bomb!
July 13th, 2008 at 5:21 am
I have not tried them. I use Clorox wipes and Lysol floor cleaner. I’m also a big fan of Swiffers, though they are horribly expensive.
July 13th, 2008 at 5:22 am
Never tried any of them, but I would love the chance.
July 13th, 2008 at 5:24 am
I’ve been trying to use more natural products, so I’d love to try rhese
July 13th, 2008 at 5:29 am
I haven’t tried these products but I plan to! I usually use plain dish soap and water to clean. If something is really dirty I add a little vinegar. I confess I do use bleach for the bathroom, because I haven’t found anything that disinfects as well.
July 13th, 2008 at 5:38 am
My new granddaughter comes over frequently, so I have become more conscience of supplies I use. This giveaway is perfect!
July 13th, 2008 at 5:50 am
I’ve never used Seventh Generation products, but I’d love to try them! I use a lot of vinegar, which has natural germ-killing properties. It doesn’t smell wonderful, but I like it better than harsh chemical smells. I also use baking soda quite a bit, for jobs that need some scrubbing.
July 13th, 2008 at 6:07 am
i have not . no i do not have any in my home.
July 13th, 2008 at 6:13 am
I have not yet tried any of the Seventh Generation products, but would LOVE the chance to do so. I have been switching up my cleaning products lately in an effort to become a little “greener”, but have yet to find anything that works to my satisfaction. Maybe Seventh Generation is the answer …
Thanks!!
July 13th, 2008 at 6:25 am
I have used Seventh Generation dish soap and I really liked how it cleaned and was not harsh on my skin. I am currently on chemotherapy and only use earth(and skin)friendly products. I also use Shaklee cleaning products to clean; would like to try out the Seventh Generation line, though. It sounds like they work (and smell) great. Liz
July 13th, 2008 at 6:26 am
Yes, I have tried Seventh Generation all purpose cleaner. It works great cleaning up kitchen spills and I don’t have to worry about it affecting me or my pets.
July 13th, 2008 at 6:31 am
I use seventh generation dishwashing soap and like it very much. it cleans just as well as any other brand I have used.
July 13th, 2008 at 6:36 am
I have never used Seventh Generation products but would love to give them a try. At the moment I am just using what I can get for the cheapest at the store, which usually isn’t the best or friendly product.
July 13th, 2008 at 6:37 am
I appreciate the whole idea of Seventh Generation, based on the Native America concept that what we do today affects our descendents down to the seventh generation. My family has used the Seventh Generation paper towel, diner napkins and toilet paper products and once hearing about the naturally scented cleaning products, am quite interested in trying them.
July 13th, 2008 at 6:44 am
I have used the general purpose cleaner & love it. I hate the chorine smell of most cleaners, especially now that I’m pregnant. This prize is great!
July 13th, 2008 at 6:48 am
I have never tried these products before I would love to give them a try what ever I can do to help
July 13th, 2008 at 6:59 am
We have just started replacing everything to go green. This would be a great jump start!
July 13th, 2008 at 7:00 am
We haven’t tried Seventh Generation yet - but we love Mrs. Meyers and Method!
Thanks!

I have used the shower cleaner. Thank you for this giveaway!
July 13th, 2008 at 7:34 am
The only Seventh Generation product I have used is the all purpose cleaner, which I like a lot.
July 13th, 2008 at 7:40 am
I haven’t tried Seventh Generation yet but I think I will when my Shaklee cleaners run out. My budget might fit these in better.
July 13th, 2008 at 7:59 am
My friend has been trying to get to try their products. If I won the prize, I guess I would have no excuse not to!

July 13th, 2008 at 7:59 am
I haven’t tried Seventh Generation yet, but it sounds like a good quality product.
July 13th, 2008 at 7:59 am
I’ve only used simple green before. I love the scents seventh generation has, have to try them out!
July 13th, 2008 at 7:59 am
I use Clorox products, but I would love to try out the Seventh Generation product line.
July 13th, 2008 at 8:01 am
I just found your blog through Nell’s Casual Friday Everyday. I’m so glad I clicked over as I have been wondering about more green cleaning products. I would love to try out these :). Do you know what stores you can find them in as well?
July 13th, 2008 at 8:02 am
I have not tried a seventh generation product. I use various brand-name cleaners from the grocery store.
July 13th, 2008 at 8:04 am
I love the Seventh Generation products as I have very sensitive skin and I do not like fragranced products.
July 13th, 2008 at 8:04 am
i have tried the laundry soap, nothing else. yet!
July 13th, 2008 at 8:16 am
I have not tried their product but I do stress about how many different chemicals we use throughout or home and how it effects us. I would love to give them a try and certainly use more healthy and environmentally concious products around my family! Thanks for the product introduction!
July 13th, 2008 at 8:28 am
I know that I need to change up my cleaning products, but between learning about natural birth, vaccines, healthy eating and clearing up my and my families health issues it has fallen to the side. These products do look like they’d fit the bill, though. I wouldn’t need to do extensive research on them — like I might for the ones created by clorox (I believe is the brand name). And a starter pack would be a great place to start.
July 13th, 2008 at 8:36 am
I didn’t realize how many things they offer! they don’t sell them at the regular store I shop at. I have tried their general all purpose cleaner, but I switched to using the ol standard vinegar solution and added grapefruit essential oil to it. I would love to try out some more products though, especial the laundry detergent.
July 13th, 2008 at 8:37 am
I clean with old fashion soap and water. Seems to be working
July 13th, 2008 at 8:45 am
I use their dishwashing liquid and their spray counter cleaner. I love their products!!
July 13th, 2008 at 8:49 am
I’d love to try these new to me products!
July 13th, 2008 at 8:58 am
Would love to win this..
Always trying new products…
July 13th, 2008 at 9:02 am
I use baking soda, vinegar, and bleach to clean just about everything in our home.
July 13th, 2008 at 9:11 am
I’ve tried a bunch of Seventh Generation products, although I’d love to try them all! The only thing so far that I haven’t liked is the toilet paper. Its a little… rough.
July 13th, 2008 at 9:19 am
I’ve tried thrie dishwashing liquid and liked it a lot. Would love to try the others.
July 13th, 2008 at 9:21 am
I have never used Seventh Generation . I use vinegar and water to clean my tile floor, I use efferdent tablets to clean my. I use club soda for spills like Koolaid on my carpet.
July 13th, 2008 at 9:27 am
I have tried the liquid auto-dish soap. I just do not like liguid soaps for my dish washer so I cannot tell if I like it or not. I am trying to use more green cleaning products, but I am having problems giving up scrubbing bubbles.
July 13th, 2008 at 9:29 am
I haven’t tried Seventh Generation products yet, but I’d love to
I use alot of SC Johnson products and multi-purpose cleaners. *Thanks* for the giveaway!
July 13th, 2008 at 9:33 am
i have never tried them , but i would love to try them out
July 13th, 2008 at 9:39 am
lady luck
July 13th, 2008 at 9:44 am
havent tried the products yet but have seen them, thanks for the contest
July 13th, 2008 at 9:50 am
No, I have never used the Seventh Generation Products. In fact, I didn’t know there were even products like that. I normally generic cleaning products from Dollar General. However I do think it’s important to reduce our impact in the world. We recycle almost everything we use (paper, plastic, glass, aluminum) so it would be interesting to try to use these products.
July 13th, 2008 at 9:52 am
I have used Seventh Generation all purpose cleaner for years. It is excellent and economical.
July 13th, 2008 at 10:01 am
I have never tried there products before and would love to. I buy what ever cleaning products are on sale at the store.
July 13th, 2008 at 10:04 am
I haven’t ever used Seventh Generation products, but I would like to try them. The scents sound lovely! I generally clean with vinegar or bleach…
July 13th, 2008 at 10:38 am
I love the paper towels. I haven’t been able to find them anywhere lately and I’m getting angry!
July 13th, 2008 at 11:08 am
I just started using some of the Seventh Generation products. I have the dishwashing liquid in lavendar floral and mint. I love them. Bought a case!
I also have the All Purpose Cleaner in free and clear because I have migraines and well scents are a trigger. I havent used this product yet but I will!
I would love to win this prize pack to try out some of the other products.
July 13th, 2008 at 11:10 am
I would love to try these products and see if they work the same as what I am currently using!
July 13th, 2008 at 11:31 am
I love Seventh Generation’s lavender fields laundry and dish soaps!! They smell great.
I personally don’t use Clorox Greenworks because they come for a company (Clorox) that makes more unhealthy and tested on animals products than they do “green” cruelty free cleaners. Seventh Generation makes ONLY green cleaners and does not test on animals.
July 13th, 2008 at 11:32 am
No, I’ve never tried Seventh Generation products. I wouldn’t even know where to buy them. I know that Target has eco friendly products. I usually by mine from Dollar Tree. Can’t really say that I’ve had any problems with harsh chemicals. However, it could never hurt to try something new. I’d like to try the Seventh Generation products to see if they are really as effective as there counterparts! Thanks Stephanie!
July 13th, 2008 at 11:41 am
I’ve been using Seventh Generation Dish Soap since my son was born. I wanted to use the cleanest possible soap to wash my sons bottles and dishes.
July 13th, 2008 at 11:45 am
What a great giveaway! We all need to start using green products and I would love to try these. I’ve heard of them, but haven’t tried them yet. I’m interested in the non-chlorine bleach - would love to see how well it works.
July 13th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
I haven’t used the Seventh Generation line of products, but would love to try. I do use some Simple Green products, but realize I should put more thought into what I reach for in the aisles out of automatic pilot.
July 13th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
I have used the glass cleaner and it is great. I am trying to move more towards the “green” products, one step at a time as I use up all that I have. No need to waste, that’s for sure. Would love to be able to try the rest of the products featured.
July 13th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
I’m trying to do my part in living greener. Recycling, composting, reusable bags, biking instead of driving, ect. and now cleaning products. Currently I’m using Clorox Greenworks and they do work but I’m all for trying new things. Thanks.
July 13th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
I’m trying to switch out my cleaning products as I go along, too. I’ve tried a few brands of “green” products, including Method. Would love to have a whole starter set from Seventh Generation to work with!
July 13th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
I haven’t tried the Seventh Generation products yet but my friend told me all about them. I’m still using traditional products-the same ones my mom always used…
July 13th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
No, but I have been looking them over. It is nice to hear someone - (not the company) talk so highly of this product. I trust my fellow moms more then the company.
Thank you
Good luck to all.
July 13th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
I haven’t used their cleaning products but I do have their paper towels. I usually use a vinegar mix to clean glass and reg dish soap for the kitchen
July 13th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
This is a great company to buy from.
July 13th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
I try and find the most eco-friendly products to clean with (like Simply Green) but always want more to choose from. I have not tried these yet and would love to. Thanks for the chance to win!
July 13th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
I have only used the laundry so far but it is flippin awesome.
July 13th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
I have not used Seventh Generation, but I certainly plan to after reading this. I have used other products such as Clorax and Johnson. I want to use some non-toxic products and this sounds like what I need.
July 13th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
I am a pretty avid user of 7G products, especially the Free and Clear ones due to my fragrance senstivities.
July 13th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
We always use 7G diapers, and I like their dishwasher soap and dish liquid soap. I may have tried a bathroom cleaner and laundry soap too.
July 13th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
the lavender floral and mint dishsoap is awesome! i won’t use anything else
July 13th, 2008 at 2:35 pm
I might have to try this!
July 13th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
Yes, we use seventh generation diapers, wipes, and laundry detergent. Would love to try others!
July 13th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
I haven’t, I use mostly all purpose cleaners.
July 13th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
I have never tried Seventh Generation products, but they sound wonderful! However, I do use vinegar for many cleaning chores and baking soda. I will search for Seventh Generation products the next time I shop. Thank you.
July 13th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
This is my favorite brand, and I would love to replace everything in my house with this stuff! Capri uses their diapers which are great as well. Thanks for the giveaway!
July 13th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
we’re still using the citrus shower cleaner
July 13th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
I have tried Seventh Generation’s dish soap and liked it a lot. I mostly use Shaklee products right now, but would love to try some other Seventh Generation products. Thanks for a healthy, practical giveaway!!:-)
July 13th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
I LOVE Seventh Generation products. I’m so excited, please pick me. hehe And thanks for giving away a green product.
July 13th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
I have not tried Seventh Generation but I have tried another brand of natural cleaner in my bathroom (can’t remember the name right now) and been fairly happy with it. I would love to try out Seventh Generation products - especially if I won them!
July 13th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
Thanks so much for this giveaway. I have not tried Seventh Generation products yet, but just last week, someone told me how great the Laundry Detergent is, especially for newborns. Thanks so much for this contest.
July 13th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
i love it. so cool. never tried it before.
July 13th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
I have not tried Seventh generation Products, but I want to start using something that is non-toxic. Right now using products by Johnson & Johnson, stuff like that. Thanks for the great giveaway!
July 13th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
nice prize. pick me.
July 13th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
I would love to try it. Seems great.

I haven’t tried Seventh Generation cleaning products as yet but I have heard a lot of good things about them.
I usually use bleach to clean most things in my home.
Thank you so much for offering this wonderful giveaway.
I would LOVE to win !!
July 13th, 2008 at 3:53 pm

I haven’t tried them, but I’m currently using another eco-friendly kit.
July 13th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
I haven’t tried them but they sound great. Lately, I’ve been using a lot of baking soda and I still use Lysol products. Thank you so much!
July 13th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
I love their baby wipes! One of the only “disposable” brands that does not break out my daughter.
But The cleaning product I’ve used was the carpet spot and stain remover. It worked great when we had carpets.
July 13th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
I haven’t tried them yet, but would love to. I recently switched to cleaning with water and vinegar due to the smell of the other cleaners, and the information I have read regarding the chemicals contained in those cleaners. Thanks!
July 13th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
I have not been able to try it yet. I’d love to.
July 13th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
I have not tried them yet…Would love to. I use Pinesol a lot or Windex….
July 13th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
Never tried them, but I’m ready for something new.
July 13th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
I’ve used the Seventh Generation laundry soap and I’ve really liked the results!
July 13th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
No I haven’t tried Seventh Generation products and use store brand cleaning products.
July 13th, 2008 at 5:11 pm
I’ve never tried any of their products before, but I’d love to. Right now, I’m using Shaklee.
July 13th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
Seventh Generation laundry soap works well, and I can purchase it at several places now, not just the health food stores.
July 13th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
I haven’t tried the Seventh Generation products yet, but I have been trying out the new natural clorox cleaning products. Tub and shower cleaner doesn’t work very well, but the other cleaners are great. I love cutting down on all of those toxic chemicals in my home.
July 13th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
No I haven’t used Seventh Generation cleaning products. I use off brand cleaning products.
July 13th, 2008 at 5:33 pm
I have used 7th generation products. I love them because they don’t hurt my lungs when I clean! I wouldn’t use anything else.
July 13th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
I LOVE Seventh Generation! I use it to do my family of 10’s laundry, dishes and cleaning with!
We do not use any other cleaners besides organic or homeopathic ones. The first part of your article rings true around here… why would we use chemicals to clean with, when they are toxic if you eat them? we don’t is the simply answer!
We use Seventh Generation’s Free and Clear bleach, Free and Clear or Bergamot laundry detergent, Free and Clear dish soap. I haven’t been able to use any of the household cleaners yet, because I am waiting for our Kroger to get them in.
I would really love to win this! It would be so nice!

my girlfriend uses them already. I have been thinking about changing over for sometime.
July 13th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
I have used SG’s laundry detergent and I really like their all purpose cleaner. Would love to try the rest. I try to use natural cleaners ( baking soda, olive oil, vinegar and water, etc.) but am excited about the way the cleaning products are evolving!
July 13th, 2008 at 6:04 pm
I love their products. I use the laundry detergent, fabric softner, all purpose cleaner.
July 13th, 2008 at 6:20 pm
I love natural cleaning products and I’d love to try this brand.
July 13th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
I have never tried but I would love to try this product line. I’ve been using Simple Green.
July 13th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
Great prize - my wife hates to clean and would just LOVE to try a new product!
Thanks for all teh excellent contests!
July 13th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
I haven’t used these yet. I’ve been using all those chemicals. I have been having terrible sinus problems lately and want to see if natural products will help.
July 13th, 2008 at 6:26 pm
I haven’t tried their products but they sound wonderful and I would love to try them.
July 13th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
laundry cleaners and glass cleaners, this stuff is awesome
July 13th, 2008 at 6:39 pm
I like all green products
July 13th, 2008 at 6:39 pm
I haven’t tried this brand yet. I have tried making my own non-toxic cleaners, but that is pretty time consuming. I would love to try these.
July 13th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
What a great giveaway Stephanie…there are a lot of great products to use…I love cleaning house so this would be just perfect for me
July 13th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Haven’t tried their products yet but I’m always looking for products that are green (without sacrificing the clean part). The Ruby Grapefruit & Herb Natural Glass Cleaner is most interesting to me.

I haven’t tried Seventh Generation’s products yet. I use Mrs. Meyer’s countertop spray and toilet bowl cleaner and I’m trying to switch all our cleaning products to natural.
July 13th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Vinegar, baking soda, and elbow grease are all great green cleaning products. But I would love to try some of these.
July 13th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
Yes, I’ve tried some of them and like the gentle scent.
July 13th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
I haven’t tried Seventh Generation products. I’ve been using Lysol products, but would like to use more Eco friendly products.
July 13th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
I have not tried any Seventh Generationthis, but I will soon be buying some.
July 13th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
I haven’t used any of these products, but I would love to try them. I am trying to live as “green” as I can.
July 13th, 2008 at 8:07 pm
I tried the Ruby Grapefruit & Herb cleanser and really liked it. Very expensive, but very nice. I only used it in my bathroom, as my hubby is chronically ill, and his care team recommends we use bleach cleaner in his.
July 13th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
I have never tried any Seventh Gen products, but I’d love to try them out.
July 13th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
I would love to try this stuff to make cleaning much more pleasant.
July 13th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
This would be so beneficial to win! How helpful, and very useful!
Thanks for another great contest/giveaway!
July 13th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
I am using Seventh Generation dish soap, and have tried several other products. THey have lots of super products
July 13th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
Just started using the Seventh Generation Laundry detergent. Would love to give these other products a try!
July 13th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
I’ve been trying to use vinegar and baking soda for more cleaning. I just wish there was something better than the vinegar smell.
July 13th, 2008 at 9:03 pm
I’ve been switching more and more to Green Cleaning Products. I’ve used quite a bit of Method Products, and some Seventh Generation as well. We started with Green Works, which is a Clorox product and not completely free of chemicals, but a great start in the right direction for those unsure or wanting to start out. I’ve liked the Seventh Generation products - but definitely make sure you follow their instructions as some of their products can lighten or slightly bleach out wood furniture. I love the idea of keeping all of the chemicals in traditional products away from my family and children! We hear again and again how in the last decades the average age of puberty has decreased by several years, and cancer rates and other diseases have greatly increased. It is hard not to wonder how much of this impact has come from the chemicals, pesticides, etc. surounding us that until recently we thought so little about.
July 13th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
i have never tried seventh generation, but wuld love to! i usually use lysol, it’s effective and inexspensive
July 13th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
I’ve never used Seventh Generation products. I make all of my own cleaning products so I can have affordable natural products. It would save me a ton of time and effort to have products like these. Thanks for the great contest!
July 13th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
I use seventh generation dish soap. Most of my other cleaning products I make and consist of washing soda, vinegar, lemon and borax; ingredients vary depending on what I am cleaning.
July 13th, 2008 at 10:05 pm
I haven’t used any seventh generation products yet - probably because I’m super cheap and am always scared if I try something new I’ll end up hating it. Right now I used this Green Mean cleaner that I get at Walmart for under $2. I always joke that it’s probably a hazardous material because no matter what I spray it on - the mess disappears!! It’s wonderful to work with but not that family or environmentally friendly - so I am careful where I use it.
July 13th, 2008 at 11:31 pm
A starter kit where I could try everything at once instead of inch by inch and bit by bit which is my usual, nervous nellie method? It would be wonderful!
July 13th, 2008 at 11:32 pm
I have not yet tried seventh generation I use vinegar.
July 13th, 2008 at 11:44 pm
I haven’t tried Seventh Generation yett, but I do use a lot of home made cleaners.
July 14th, 2008 at 12:01 am
I have never used Seventh Generation products but I would like to.
I have been using vinegar and baking soda to clean.
July 14th, 2008 at 12:40 am
Hi, This is one great prize package! I have not tried one of these products. It would be interesting and fun to give them a whirl in our home. Please enter me in your fabulous drawing. Many thanks, Cindi
July 14th, 2008 at 12:44 am
I haven’t had the chance to try these products out yet. I pretty much use old fashioned soap & water, comet, & bleach.
July 14th, 2008 at 12:54 am
I haven’t yet tried the products. I use Windex, Comet, and Bleach for most cleaning.
July 14th, 2008 at 1:09 am
I have never tried the seventh generation products. I have been experimenting alot with the new “green” products. Still haven’t found anything that I am completely satisfied with
July 14th, 2008 at 2:16 am
The paper towels are the best…!!! Great prize and contest…thanks so much!
July 14th, 2008 at 2:40 am
I would love to try the products. Vinegar, and bleach are my current primaries.
July 14th, 2008 at 2:46 am
I have not tried the products, but have wanted to. I currently use clorox products.
July 14th, 2008 at 2:51 am
I have not tried 7th Generation. Typically I use windex and Scrubbing Bubbles on everything. I would try them out and possibly expand my horizons.
July 14th, 2008 at 3:05 am
I haven’t tried Seventh Generation yet. I usually use Lysol products to clean my home. I know that’s bad but I’m gonna get there, I promise.
July 14th, 2008 at 3:06 am
I haven’t tried SEventh Generation yet - am looking forward to that
July 14th, 2008 at 3:40 am
I have not tried Seventh Generations products. I’d like to see how well they work. Thanks for the chance to win.
July 14th, 2008 at 3:46 am
I have not tried Seventh Generation products yet but I would love to. I am trying to become more environmentally aware of the products I purchase.
July 14th, 2008 at 3:47 am
I haven’t tried Seventh Generation stuff, but I’d like to. I generally use Dr. Bronner’s Sal Suds, or Clorox wipes for quick wipe-ups.
July 14th, 2008 at 3:48 am
I have never tried a 7th generation product, but have always wanted to give them a go
July 14th, 2008 at 4:04 am
I haven’t tried their products yet, but have heard very good things about them.
July 14th, 2008 at 4:26 am
havent tried them but you have to start sometime
July 14th, 2008 at 4:43 am
Sounds good enough to eat! I haven’t tried Seventh Generation but am gradually switching to green products as my old traditional products run out. This would be a great way to try several of their products at once. Thanks for the chance to win!
July 14th, 2008 at 4:48 am
I love Seventh Generation products! I buy them whenever they are on sale. They work great and smell great too (not too strong).
July 14th, 2008 at 5:01 am
I haven’t tried any of the Seventh Generation products before, but I am definitely trying a lot of different green cleaners to find the very best. The toilet bowl cleaner seems to be the trickiest for me….the green ones that I’ve used just don’t stand up to the chemical-ly ones! Thanks!
July 14th, 2008 at 5:40 am
I have been wanting to try Seventh Generation for soooo long, but not too many places carry it around here. Well, at least that I could find. I’ve used other ‘green’ cleaners, but I’ve heard great things about Seventh Generation.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:47 am
i have not used any of these products but have been wanting to try them as a replacement for my loyalty to lysol
July 14th, 2008 at 6:02 am
I’ve never tried these products, but would love to. Right now I use whatever is on sale and I have a coupon for.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:04 am
I have not tried any of these products in paticular. I have bought some green line products before though- I also try to use some natural cleaners I read about online that I can make at home.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:04 am
I’ve never tried any Seventh Generation products. I don’t recall ever even seeing them in a store around here. Sounds like they really do a great job, I really like the fact that they have a lite scent. I currently use the Clorox GreenWorks line of products.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:05 am
I have not tried those products. I usually use a bleach based product.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:06 am
$1 off coupons for Seventh Generation products can usually be found on-line. . . I’ve used natural cleaning products for about 15 years: Shaklee, Melaeluca, and Seventh Generation liquid laundry soap - all scent-free. We detest walking down the store aisles with chemical, scented cleaners.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:13 am
I learned from my grandmother that you can clean just about anything with vinegar or baking soda. It’s worked for me for years, but some nice smelling products would be a great change!
July 14th, 2008 at 6:18 am
I am trying the natural products, but have not yet bought this one!! I would love to try it!!
July 14th, 2008 at 6:25 am
I’ve never used. I had so much leftover “bad” cleaners that I’ve been slowly using em up. I often feel so guilty. A plus, though, I DO clean most things with vinegar and water..needless to say, I would LOVE this prize for my sense of mind.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:27 am
i dont use them. i use regular cleaners that u buy in the supermaket. would love to try seventh generation. thanks
July 14th, 2008 at 6:31 am
i have not tried these products.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:36 am
I am starting to be much more eco friendly and I would be delighted to try these products. I’m finding green products available more and more. It’s great!
July 14th, 2008 at 6:41 am
I would really love to try Seventh Generation cleaning products. I have used their disposible diapers when we took a trip and I didn’t want to bring all the cloth diapers we would need. Honestly, I haven’t bought cleaning products in a loooong time. My husband had a janitorial business way before we met and he still had stuff from that. I’ve been using whatever is around but I would love to go more green. Thanks for the chance.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:53 am
I have been using Seventh Generation products for years. I also use Ecover, Planet, Mrs. Meyers, and the Earth Friendly brand, which are all natural brands. It would be great to win this!
July 14th, 2008 at 6:56 am
I have never tryed these products before, I have heard alot about them, and people say they are great. I use Lysol products to clean my home.
July 14th, 2008 at 7:02 am
I have not tried your products. I use windex for my windows and glass and mirrors. Fantastic for my other needs.
July 14th, 2008 at 7:07 am
We have not used these products. My wife always wants to try new green products and she’d be thrilled if I won this!
July 14th, 2008 at 7:13 am
No, I haven’t used these products am ashamed to say that I still use the old standbys…lysol, 409, spic n span…etc. However, I will be buying green as I run out!
July 14th, 2008 at 7:15 am
I have tried them, they are good. I also like to use a product called Grease Lightening for tough jobs. It is cheap but amazing!
July 14th, 2008 at 7:30 am
No, I’ve never tried these products. My favorite cleaning product is baking soda.
July 14th, 2008 at 7:41 am
have seen this many times but never tired it. would love to win tho to give it a go. thank you for the giveaway.
July 14th, 2008 at 7:57 am
We use the diapers. I use 7th gen, Method, and Babyganics for cleaning.
July 14th, 2008 at 7:59 am
I use their stuff all the time, love their female hygiene products!
July 14th, 2008 at 8:00 am
I love Seventh Generation products!
July 14th, 2008 at 8:11 am
I love the diapers. Great! Thank you!
July 14th, 2008 at 8:14 am
I never tried any of these products, I usually use bleach or amonia. would love to win to try them.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:19 am

July 14th, 2008 at 8:29 am
They are great products.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:35 am
I’ve used their dishwashing soap before. Right now most of my household cleaners are the chemical filled store brands, but I am replacing them with more natural products as money permits.
