Made by Seventh Generation

Seventh Generation Laundry powder is tough on dirt, but gentle on the environment. This product contains no dyes.  It removes stains, brightens colours and is colour safe.  This laundry powder is safe for septic and greywater systems, and is not tested on animals. 

If you or anyone in your family has sensitive skin, or are susceptable to rashes, eczema, contact dermatitis and the like, then you have to be mindful of the chemical residue which might be deposited on clothing and bedding which comes in direct contact with the skin.  Using a natural laundry detergent goes a long way towards reducing your risk of irritating the skin and worstening any existing skin conditions.

A few interesting facts:
Most laundry detergents are made from petroleum based cleaners which use oil, a precious, limited natural resource that will someday be depleted.  
Most laundry detergents contain optical brightners which are fluerescent chemicals that convert ultra-violet light to blue-white light that makes whites appear whiter.  They don't readily biodegrade and are often toxic to aquatic life.
If every household in the U.S. replaced just one box of 18 load petroleum based powder laundry detergent with a vegetable based product such as Seventh Generation's, we could save 93,200 barrels of oil.  Enough to heat and cool 5,300 homes for a year!!

Imagine the difference we could make in Australia!! Why don't you try it for yourself?
