Seventh Generation Concentrated Detergents: EasyDose vs Classic

Best for
Trying fragrance-free EasyDose with one bottle

Best for
Sensitive skin and classic pour-and-measure

The Seventh Generation Laundry Detergent Free & Clear two-pack is the classic concentrated option, sold as two 40 oz bottles. The listing describes a triple-enzyme formula with plant-derived enzyme stain removers such as protease and amylase, aimed at grass, tomato sauce and chocolate stains. It skips fragrances, dyes and artificial brighteners.

Seventh Generation calls it hypoallergenic and fragrance-free, and says it is dermatologist tested to be gentle on skin. It is described as ultra-concentrated with less added water. The pack measures 10 x 5.6 x 10.2 inches and weighs 2.96 pounds, and the manufacturer is Unilever. The spec table carries a “Biodegradable Warning” material note that the listing does not explain.

This suits anyone with sensitive skin who likes controlling the dose, for example using a little extra on a heavily worn hoodie. If you want the no-measure convenience of a squeeze bottle, any of the EasyDose options below will suit you better.

• Triple-enzyme formula with protease and amylase
• No fragrances, dyes or artificial brighteners
• Hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested
• Two 40 oz bottles

Best for
Gamers who want a light lavender scent

Fragrance-free EasyDose in a two-pack

The Seventh Generation EasyDose Detergent Free & Clear two-pack is the 8X ultra-concentrated version in two 23 oz bottles. The EasyDose auto-dosing cap delivers the right amount every time: 1 squeeze = 1 load. The listing says each bottle uses 60% less plastic and 50% less water and is 70% lighter than the brand’s 90 fl oz bottle.

That compact size matters if you haul laundry down to a shared machine or a laundromat. The pack measures 5.43 x 4.02 x 8.67 inches and weighs 1.51 pounds. Like the classic bottle, it is fragrance-free, and the description mentions dermatologist testing.

This suits anyone who has settled on fragrance-free EasyDose and wants a backup bottle on the shelf. If you are still deciding whether you like the squeeze format, try the single bottle below first.

• 8X ultra-concentrated
• EasyDose cap: 1 squeeze = 1 load
• 60% less plastic than the 90 fl oz bottle
• Two 23 oz bottles

The single-bottle Seventh Generation Laundry Detergent Ultra Concentrated EasyDose Free & Clear is the easy way to try the format. The listing says the 23 oz bottle gives 66 loads and uses 60% less plastic, 50% less water and is 75% lighter than the brand’s 100 fl oz bottle. You flip it, squeeze firmly, and you are done.

It is a USDA Certified Biobased Product at 99%, according to the description, with an advanced-enzyme formula for tough stains. The listed dimensions are 6.87 x 7.5 x 8.93 inches, but the listed weight of 10.89 pounds does not fit a single 23 oz bottle, so treat that as a listing error.

This suits first-time EasyDose buyers who want fragrance-free. Note that this listing compares itself with a 100 fl oz bottle while the two-pack compares with a 90 fl oz bottle, so the “lighter than” percentages are not directly comparable.

• 66 loads from a 23 oz bottle
• USDA Certified Biobased, 99%
• Advanced-enzyme formula
• Free & Clear

The Seventh Generation EasyDose Laundry Detergent Fresh Lavender adds a scent to the EasyDose format. The description says the lavender comes from 100% essential oils and botanical ingredients, and the formula uses advanced enzymes for tough stains.

It shares the EasyDose numbers: a compact 23 oz bottle, 66 loads, one squeeze per load, 60% less plastic, 50% less water and 75% lighter than the 100 oz bottle. It weighs 1.44 pounds and is made by Unilever.

This suits gamers who want hoodies and blankets to smell fresh without a heavy perfume. If anyone in the house reacts to fragrance, stick with Free & Clear. For keeping the kitchen side of the house on the same brand, our guide to Seventh Generation dishwasher tabs is a natural companion.

• Lavender from 100% essential oils
• 66 loads, EasyDose bottle
• Advanced-enzyme formula
• 23 oz, 1.44 pounds

The Seventh Generation Concentrated Laundry Detergent in Fresh Lavender is listed with only a title: a concentrated laundry detergent in Fresh Lavender scent. The listing does not specify the bottle size, number of loads, dosing method or ingredients.

Based on the title alone, this is the lavender scent in a concentrated rather than EasyDose format. That makes it the choice for anyone who likes lavender but prefers pouring a measured amount. Check the images and bottle size on the product page before ordering.

It suits lavender fans who want classic dosing. If you prefer the one-squeeze routine, the lavender EasyDose above is clearer about what you get.

• Concentrated formula
• Fresh Lavender scent
• Size and load count not specified

The Seventh Generation EasyDose Power+ Clean is the heavy-duty option. The description says it has six powerful enzymes plus surfactants, with no unnecessary ingredients, to fight even the most stubborn stains. That is the most enzymes named in any of these listings, compared with the triple-enzyme Free & Clear formula.

It uses the same EasyDose format: 23 oz, 66 loads, one squeeze per load, 60% less plastic, 50% less water and 75% lighter than the 100 oz bottle. The bottle measures 2.4 x 3.85 x 8.81 inches and weighs 1.44 pounds. The scent is called Power+ Clean.

This suits anyone washing sweaty jerseys, gym gear or grass-stained sports kit. For sensitive skin, the Free & Clear bottles remain the safer bet.

• Six enzymes plus surfactants
• EasyDose, 66 loads
• Power+ Clean scent
• Slim 23 oz bottle
