Green Company Review: Seventh Generation

by Jennifer on March 10, 2010

A while back, Seventh Generation sent me some green-cleaning products to review. I’ve already reviewed their toilet bowl cleaner and I’ll be posting more reviews soon, but thought that it’d be easier to first take a look at the company as a whole; check out some of their eco-pros and cons.

BASICS: Seventh Generation has been around for about 20 years and is arguably one of the most well-known green companies on the consumer market. They were one of the first self-declared “socially responsible” companies and they manufacture many eco-friendly products. Some of their products are very green and some could be greener, but all in all, they offer a good variety of green product choices for eco-friendly households. Seventh Generation product categories include…

  • Laundry Products
  • Dishwashing Products
  • Household Cleaners
  • Household Paper & Supplies
  • Products for Baby
  • Feminine Care
  • Free & Clear cleaning products
  • Their newest products are a line of EPA registered disinfectants that kill germs naturally.

How to potty train with patience – frankly I’m SO glad to be done with this stage of parenting, but if you’ve got a little one who is ready (maybe) to shun to whole diaper drama business, this is a great Crunchy Domestic Goddess piece to read.

Martha Stewart launches her own line of eco-friendly cleaners – AND since it’s her you’d think she’d offer full disclosure at the product website, but alas no.
