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 free of the harsh chemicals I am trying to keep away from my family?
Yes. It contains no chlorine bleach, phosphates, synthetic dyes, or synthetic fragrances, which are the most common chemical concerns raised by safety-conscious buyers.
Will dishes rinsed with this gel be safe for my child to eat off of right away?
The plant-based formula is designed to rinse cleanly with no synthetic fragrance or dye residue, making it a popular choice for families washing baby bottles, sippy cups, and toddler plates.
Is the Free & Clear option safe for household members with asthma or chemical sensitivities?
Free & Clear is unscented and contains no synthetic fragrance, which is helpful for shoppers managing asthma, eczema, or fragrance allergies in the home.
How does this compare to conventional dishwasher gels that use chlorine and synthetic fragrance?
Conventional gels often rely on chlorine bleach, phosphates, and synthetic fragrance for cleaning power. This gel uses a plant-based enzyme and surfactant system instead, achieving daily cleaning while skipping those ingredients.
Is the lemon scent made from real essential oils instead of synthetic fragrance?
Yes. The lemon scent is derived from 100% essential oils and botanical extracts, not from synthetic fragrance compounds.
What if I am worried this plant-based gel will not clean as well as my old detergent?
Many safety-focused buyers switch after seeing that plant-based enzymes break down starch and protein residue effectively on everyday and baked-on loads, so performance concerns are a common pre-purchase hesitation we hear from this buyer.
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.
