DID YOU KNOW...If every household in the U.S. replaced just one bottle of 42oz. dishwashing gel containing petroleum-based ingredients with our plant-containing product, we could save 22,000 barrels of oil, enough to heat and cool 1,300 U.S. homes for a year! Learn more.

I forgot to mention, I have ben using the non-improved formula. I recently re-read the directions, and will see if my complaints were due to human error.
I have recently gone on a shopping trip and have purchased the improved formula of the same "Lemon" smell. I will wait to see my results before I purchase the Rinse aid, as Tucson is well known for it's hard water.
Unfortunately I had to stop buying this product as it was leaving stains in my coffee cups that were building and building with each cycle. I was also discouraged by how fast we went through the bottle. I tried using more detergent thinking it would get my dishes cleaner, that didn't work either. Also, I would have specs of food that stuck onto my cups that I never had a problem with before. Since changing back to a non eco friendly product I haven't had any of these issues and my coffee stains are finally coming off my cups. Can anybody reccoment a different eco friendly automatic dishwasher detergent that does work?
I came on here to read the other reviews, as I have recently become disatisfied with how there is still residue left on my dishes. I used to think it was just my husband/son letting the dishes sit too long in the sink before they were then placed in the dishwasher to be washed. I have fervently gone a whole week chasing after my family's meals for them to rinse their dishes well before placing them in the sink.
Long ago, I was told by a friend to run bleach in the second compartment to sanitise the dishes. I hav done this for many other non-eco products and it has worked fine. I have only had one dish cycle where this has worked (using the 7th gen bleach).
I share all of the complaints that I have read here, as well as the sentiments twards the other 7th gen products. I love them dearly, but unless I can get a handle on the dishwasher solution, I will not be buying my automatic dishliquid from 7th gen. It is a waste of money, time, and resources (water, electricity, product).
I love Seventh Generation. I have switched to them for all my cleaning products. Despite the negative reviews, I have never had a problem with it and I love the lemon scent. I do pre-rinse my dishes before I put them in the dishwasher (somewhat excessively according to my boyfriend), but with one normal wash cycle they come out clean with no leftover food residue. I have also never had a problem with mildew in my dishwasher, but I do sprinkle baking soda in with my wash cycle occasionally.
I have tried many different eco friendly products with much success. All the 7th generation products I try, I love them but not this one. We have soft water, I rinse all my dishes before I fill the diswasher and still have rings around coffee cups, rings around pots and pans where small food particles are left behind. I will not be buying this product again. I will go back to another eco friendly product I have used in the past. The dishes NEVER come out clean no matter what I do.
