"bright green" concentrated dish washing liquid/ natural citrus scent, by Safeway

by Bayari
(California)

I have been using "green, or eco friendly" products for about 30 years and this is by FAR the very worst one I have ever encountered!

The ingredient list is general, not specific. it does NOT list the actual ingredients (as other REAL eco friendly products do), but general terms instead; including the phrase "natural citrus scent". This in entirely UNTRUE! It smells like really bad chemical perfume, and not a hint of citrus anywhere... my entire family is repulsed by the smell and we have sent it back to the company. It actually makes us gag and gives several of us headaches. If I had access to a lab, I would run tests to find out what chemicals are in this product, as I am certain that there are more than just fragrance chemicals.

If you are truly interested in REAL GREEN cleaning products, do NOT buy these; go to a health food store or online to find the numerous proper ones, such as: Seventh generation, Ecover, etc.

by: Miss Eco Friendly

I absolutely love this product. Our housekeepers hate all the eco friendly products as they do not think they work but they love this product as well. It smells like my expensive shower gel I purchase at Neiman Marcus. The only problem is that a lot of stores do not carry it. I say give it a chance and you decide.

by: KATE

Seeing all these negative comments I needed to add my 2 cents worth. I have a touchy smeller and I found nothing offensive about the Lavender Dishwashing Liquid. My dishes and glassware are the cleanest they have ever looked...glass sparkles. I am anxious to try the citrus; I'll keep using it until it is no longer available....like so many products I really care about.

starstarstarstarstar 		worst dish soap ever NEW
by: Sandy

I found the smell of the lavendar dish soap absolutely horrible! There is no hint of lavander in it, but rather smells like strong bleach and chemicals. I had a severe skin reaction to this soap after it got on my forearms. My skin went all red, itched terribly and broke out in blood blisters. This happened right after I washed the dishes. My doctor said it was definitely from something getting on my skin and since it happened immediately it had to be the soap. Don't use this soap!

The smell of the "Natural Lavender Scent" is hideous. I put the bottle outdoors as the smell was just awful. Another fake green product - beware.

by: Rona

There is a lot of "greenwash" about, where companies try to appear a lot greener than they actually are. Companies that do this kind of thing need to be called out!

I'll try to check out Safeways over here (England) to see if they are the same - but I doubt if they can get away with no information on ingredients within the EU. Be interesting to see.
