Amazon.com Product Description:
Seventh Generation 2X Laundry Concentrate is tough on dirt but gentle on your clothes and the environment. This non-toxic, biodegradable, and phosphate-free laundry concentrate is specially formulated for high-efficiency and standard machines and features a naturally derived and gentle white flower and bergamot citrus scent.
Completely Natural Cleaning Power for Your Clothes
Seventh Generation 2X Laundry Concentrate is tough on dirt and stains, while being completely free of phosphates, optical brighteners, bleach and other ingredients that are harmful for your and your environment. This concentrate is made from a low-foaming blend of naturally derived cleaning agents (coconut-derived surfactants, glycerin), natural water softeners, alkalinity builders, and anti-redeposition agents (sodium citrate, borax), non-animal-derived enzymes to remove protein and starch stains and protect fabrics, plant-derived anti-foaming agents (glycerol monooleate, oleic acid), and cleaning enhancers (calcium chloride).
Non-toxic, hypo-allergenic, biodegradable, and Kosher-certified, Seventh Generation 2X Laundry Concentrate is completely phosphate- and dye-free, is safe for septic and greywater systems, and has never been tested on animals.
What's Wrong with Phosphates and Optical Brighteners
Phosphates are natural minerals that, when used in detergents, can reduce water hardness, which allows the detergent's soap to clean more effectively, and prevent dirt from being redeposited back onto the items being cleaned. However, once the phosphates are released back into the environment via household wastewater, the results can be disastrous to the environment.
Phosphates encourage algae growth, which directly leads to a decrease in the oxygen supply in water ways--a situation that can ultimately leads to the deaths of living organisms, and eventually the entire waterway.
Similarly, optical brighteners have long been used to clean our laundry. They help mask any yellowing that may be present in the treated material and makes the material seem brighter and whiter than it would otherwise naturally appear to the eye by creating an enhanced "whiter-than-white" surface that doesn't get clothes any cleaner but simply makes them look that way.
Many of the chemicals in optical brighteners, however, are toxic to fish and other aquatic life, are slow to degrade, and can cause mutations in bacteria. And in terms of human health, exposure to optical brighteners, which remain on laundry by design, can cause eye irritations and skin reactions in sensitive individuals.
Why Clean Naturally?
Unlike many conventional laundry concentrates detergents, the Seventh Generation 2X Laundry Concentrate does not create unpleasant fumes, will not leave harmful residues, and is safer for the environment. Plant-derived cleaners are made from renewable resources rather than from petroleum. Studies show that making household cleaners from plant-derived materials uses less energy than making the same cleaners from petroleum. Using less energy helps reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.
If every household in the U.S. replaced just one bottle of 50-ounce 2X petroleum-based liquid laundry detergent with the Seventh Generation 2X Laundry Concentrate, we could save 233,000 barrels of oil, enough to heat and cool 13,400 U.S. homes for a year! Additionally, thousands of tons of phosphates and other harmful chemicals will be removed from our ecosystem.
Also, concentrated laundry detergents come with great environmental benefits. Each bottle of 2X concentrated detergent is half the size of a bottle of regular laundry detergent and washes the same number of loads. In addition to requiring less fuel to ship the detergent to you, the entire manufacturing process is more efficient--using less water, less packaging, and less fuel.
The Right (Natural) Fragrance for your Home
Our sense of smell is powerful and evocative. Experiencing a scent unfold can transform our mood, transport us to distant places, or connect us through a shared experience. When you use natural cleaners, not only do you care for the health of the environment, you also care for the health of the people in your home. The scents in Seventh Generation household cleaners are created from whole and natural plant essences, and let you clean without harsh or unpleasant chemicals and odors.
White Flower and Bergamot Citrus scent is designed to be luxurious, regenerating, and soothing. It is made from a blend of petitgrain, neroli, bergamot, blood orange, and nutmeg whole plant essences.

This is a pleasant smelling detergent, and I feel good about the fact that I'm not sending toxic chemicals into the waste water. It cleans clothes as well as anything I've ever used. I prefer the Lavender/Eucalyptus scent, but this is almost as good.

Given the excellent results I've had with my Vine-provided glass cleaner, I decided that it would be safe to actually shell out money for this Seventh Generation detergent--a decision that made me feel, I regret to say, somewhat morally smug. I had high hopes.
I was initially rather disappointed with its performance; my clothes just weren't getting very clean which was odd given that they're not that dirty at the outset. Ah, well--suck it up, I thought.
However, one of my cats decided ... Read More

Unlike the other review, I love the scent, I guess it is subjective. Just go to your local store and smell it.
However, I had the regular HE liquid before and it performed amazing. Recently I only found the 2x HE on the shelf and bought it. It is useless, just like any other natural detergent that doesn't wash well.
If you find the regular HE buy it.
I would write the company, but have done that before and didn't get an answer.

We were very happy with out results using this product. We had never used any Seventh Generation products in the past, but since we enjoy this so much we will certainly look into trying some of their other products :)

I love Seventh Generation products, so when their website said this product would replace the Citrus Laundry Detergent I figured I would give it a try. All I can say is...yuck! I can't believe they would replace the awesome fresh smelling citrus with this awful smelling product. The bergamot is so strong it is offensive. I can't even stand opening the bottle. I will have to find a new liquid laundry detergent. I even emailed Seventh Generation to complain because it is so bad.
