Are these safe for baby clothes?

Yes. They contain no fragrance, dyes or artificial brighteners, and owners commonly use them on infants' laundry. Check with a pediatrician if your baby has diagnosed skin conditions.

Do the packs work in cold water?

They are meant to, but this is the most common complaint. Use warm water or let the pack sit in the drum a moment before adding clothes if you wash cold.

How many packs per load?

One pack for a normal load, two for large or heavily soiled loads. Drop the pack into the drum before adding clothes.

Are they HE compatible?

Yes, they work in both high-efficiency and standard top-load machines.

How do they compare with Tide Pods?

They are gentler and fragrance-free, but Tide cleans heavy stains better. Choose these for sensitive skin; choose Tide for tough soil.

One bag of 45 fully dissolving single-dose packs.

What reviewers say

4.3 / 5228 ratings

Owners with sensitive skin rate these highly for being gentle and scent-free, and many find they clean everyday laundry well. The recurring complaints are about the pods themselves: poor dissolving in cold water, packs bursting in the bag, and powdery residue left on clothes.

About the Seventh Generation Free & Clear

Seventh Generation Free & Clear is a laundry detergent sold as dissolving packs. It uses a plant-derived, quadruple-enzyme formula to fight stains and to whiten and brighten clothes. It is made for sensitive skin and contains no fragrances, dyes, or artificial brighteners.

The packs work in both HE and standard washing machines. Drop 1 pack directly into the machine before adding clothes, or 2 packs for large or heavily soiled loads. Each bag holds 45 fully dissolving packs.

The formula is hypoallergenic and USDA Certified Biobased. It is also Leaping Bunny Certified, Certified B Corporation, and Non-GMO. It is less effective on heavy stains than Tide.
