Lemon scent in our dishwasher liquid gel is derived from 100% essential oils and botanical extract
Seventh Generation Lemon Dishwasher Detergent Gel uses plant-based enzyme blends for high cleaning power while leaving out synthetic fragrances, dyes, phosphates, and chlorine bleach. This dish soap is scented with 100% essential oils and botanical extracts – because real lemon smells good just the way it is. For more than 25 years, Seventh Generation has been thoughtfully formulating safe and effective plant-based products that work. Really well. Our dishwashing detergent gel uses powerful plant-based ingredients like surfactants and enzymes to break down tough residue and lift away food, leaving your dishes sparkling clean. So, how does it all work? The enzymes cut through grease and food by breaking down starch and protein-based residue while the surfactants remove dirt and grease by holding the molecules in suspension, so they can wash away. Yes, even those fussy egg stains. Based in Vermont, Seventh Generation is proud to be a Certified B Corporation. B Corps are certified to be better for workers, better for communities, and better for the environment. You may also notice a cute Leaping Bunny seal on our products. That means we never test our products on animals and our products do not contain animal-based ingredients. We design our products to be safe for people, their homes, and the environment. By choosing Seventh Generation dishwasher soap products, you’re joining us in nurturing the health of the next seven generations. *Safe when used as directed

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this dishwasher gel safe to use on baby bottles, pacifiers, and toddler plates?
Yes. The Free & Clear formula is fragrance-free, dye-free, and made without chlorine or phosphates, which is why many parents choose it for items that go into a child's mouth.
Will the lemon scent irritate my child if they have sensitive skin or allergies?
The lemon scent is derived from essential oils, but if your child is highly fragrance-sensitive, the Free & Clear unscented version is the safer pick for daily use.
Does this gel rinse clean enough that I do not have to worry about chemical residue on dishes?
Yes. The surfactant system is designed to lift and rinse away cleanly, and the formula contains no synthetic dyes or fragrances that could leave a noticeable film on dinnerware.
How does this compare to mainstream dishwasher gels marketed as 'family' formulas?
Many mainstream 'family' gels still contain synthetic dyes and fragrance. Seventh Generation Free & Clear skips those additives, while still using plant-based enzymes to handle everyday family meal messes.
Is the bulk pack format a good value for a busy family kitchen?
The 70 oz 2-pack and 42 oz 6-pack options reduce how often you need to shop and how much plastic packaging you go through, which busy parents often appreciate.
What if I am worried that a plant-based gel will not get rid of dried egg and oatmeal on my kid's dishes?
That is the most common hesitation from parents considering the switch, and the enzyme blend is specifically formulated to break down protein- and starch-based residue like eggs, oatmeal, and pasta sauce.
How much gel should I use per dishwasher load?
Fill the main detergent compartment of your dishwasher according to the lines marked on the cup, typically about one tablespoon for normal loads and up to two tablespoons for heavily soiled, baked-on messes. Always check your dishwasher manual for its recommended fill level.
Can I use this dishwasher gel for pre-rinsing or hand-washing dishes?
This product is formulated for automatic dishwashers and should be placed in the machine's detergent compartment. For hand-washing, a separate Seventh Generation hand dish liquid is the recommended product.
How should I store the bulk pack to keep the gel fresh?
Store bottles upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the cap tightly closed between uses to prevent the gel from drying out or absorbing moisture.
Is this dishwasher gel compatible with all standard household dishwashers?
Yes. It is designed to work in standard residential automatic dishwashers, including top-control, front-control, and drawer-style models from major brands.
Can I use this gel in a dishwasher that also has a built-in rinse aid compartment?
Yes. You can continue to use a rinse aid in the separate rinse aid compartment if your dishwasher has one, and use this gel in the main detergent cup.
What is included in the box when I order a 2-pack or 6-pack?
Each pack contains the number of 70 oz or 42 oz gel bottles shown on the listing. No additional accessories, dosing tools, or sample scents are included.
Is this product safe if a small amount is accidentally swallowed?
Like all dishwasher detergents, it should be kept out of reach of children and never ingested. If swallowed, drink a glass of water and contact poison control or a healthcare professional for guidance.
What should I do if the gel leaves spots on my glasses after a cycle?
Spots are usually caused by hard water, not the detergent. Try adding a rinse aid to the rinse aid compartment, adjusting your dishwasher's water softener setting, or running a hot cycle with a dishwasher cleaner to remove mineral buildup.
What is the difference between dishwasher gel, pods, and powder?
Pods are pre-measured and convenient, powder dissolves quickly and is easy to dose, and gel clings to dishes at the start of the cycle for sustained cleaning on baked-on food. Gel is often preferred by buyers who want flexible dosing and a plant-based formula.
