The Seventh Generation Natural All Purpose Cleaner is a non-toxic, biodegradable, hypo-allergenic, pet-safe, kid-friendly, kosher-certified cleaning spray that comes in two different varieties; Free & Clear and Green Mandarin & Leaf. This product is designed to de-grease hard surfaces, mop floors and clean countertops effectively, without leaving behind those powerful headache-inducing fumes. Retailing at .99, these products are more expensive than competitive brands, but deals can often be found at sites like www.amazon.com and www.drugstore.com. As with any product, there are pros and cons to choosing this item.

“The best part is that I don’t have to get it at some overpriced specialty store; they have it right in my local Albertson’s,” one reviewer says of the Seventh Generation Natural All Purpose Cleaner. Other consumers like that it doesn’t irritate their skin, eyes, lungs, pets or children. “Just switched over from Lysol-brand bathroom cleaners, and this works just as well, with no caustic smell and no more need to wear gloves,” explains one fan of this natural cleaner. Consumers indicate that they use this spray on cars, countertops, stoves, linoleum floors, showers, faucets, tubs and tiles.

However, there are a few qualms about the Seventh Generation Natural All Purpose Cleaner too. Store Trooper Karen Kirkman says she prefers Lysol All-Purpose and that the Seventh Generation didn’t get the stains out of her porcelain sink. In reviews at www.drugstore.com, consumers commented that they sometimes get streaks on mirrors or a filmy residue with this product. Reviewers have described the scent as “fishy,” “chemical” and “strange.” Some of the raters at www.ecohuddle.com said they were disappointed with the “cleaning power” of this product, although they admitted that they’re not really “into cleaning that often” or that they hoped the product would tackle larger messes and stains.

Seventh Generation’s line of green cleaning products, including their Natural All Purpose Cleaner, are looking to inspire more consumers to get into the eco-friendly spirit. The company’s co-founder often pens op-ed pieces for The Huffington Post, mentioning that he feels we should have one gold standard for environmental products that fancy themselves “natural,” “organic” or “green.” The absence of such standards creates a sort of “Wild West” of cleaning products, he says, which sows doubt into the minds of consumers and leads them to fear they’re being led along for the ride as manufacturers charge higher prices; not because the naturally derived ingredients cost more but just because they can.
