Have a tough job? We have an easy answer
Seventh Generation Ultra Power Plus Dish Detergent is a grease-fighting, food-blasting powerhouse that stands up to your biggest mess. This dual-action formula tackles the dirty work to deliver our most powerful clean – all without the use of synthetic fragrances, dyes, phosphates, and chlorine beach.
How does it work?
Our detergents use powerful plant-based ingredients that team up to leave your dishes streak-free and sparkling clean. Enzymes cut through grease and food by breaking down starch and protein-based residue while surfactants remove dirt and grease by holding the molecules in suspension so they can wash away. What’s left behind is a squeaky-clean dish ready for whatever you've got cooking.
You Won't Find...
Dual Action Formula
Sometimes you’ve got to pull out the big guns. Our dual-action formula with PlantTech uses hardworking enzymes to power away stuck-on food and stains to leave dishes sparkling clean.
Real Fragrances
Why use synthetic fragrances when you can use the real deal? We gently scent our products with 100% essential oils and botanical ingredients like lavender, orange peel, and bergamot.
No Pre-rinse Convenience
Save yourself the hassle and toss those dirty dishes right in – no pre-rinse required. A dishwasher is meant to make your life easier, and we’ve developed our detergents to do the same.
Plant-based Ingredients
Our dish detergents are USDA Certified Biobased Products made with renewable plant-based ingredients. Biobased products reduce the need for petroleum-based ingredients and help decrease dependence on fossil fuels. This means a powerful clean you can trust to be gentle on your home and our planet.
Caring today for tomorrow
We are on a mission to inspire a consumer revolution that nurtures the health of the next seven generations. For over 25 years we’ve been thoughtfully formulating products with plant-based ingredients designed with human health and the environment in mind. From recycled packaging and biodegradable formulas to ingredient disclosure and fragrances made from essential oils and botanical extracts – every decision we make considers you and the future of our planet.
Did you know that dishwasher detergent used to contain phosphates?
When it comes to washing dishes, what's inside your detergent may not seem like a big deal. But what goes into your dishwasher can go into our water. That’s why in 2001 we lobbied for the removal of phosphates in all dishwasher detergent and succeeded in pushing the entire industry to remove them from their products, too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 65-ounce size and Pack of 6 option reduce visual clutter in my pantry?
Yes. The large 65-ounce bottle and the Pack of 6 bulk option consolidate your dish detergent into fewer, uniform containers, reducing the visual clutter of multiple smaller bottles in your pantry or under-sink storage.
Is the packaging simple and uniform enough to fit a minimalist kitchen aesthetic?
Yes. The clean, simple label design and consistent bottle shape across the product line support a minimalist, intentional home aesthetic.
Does the residue-free formula mean I do not need additional rinsing agents, simplifying my routine?
In most cases, yes. The residue-free formula is designed to leave dishes spotless on its own, reducing the need for separate rinse aids or polishing steps and supporting a simpler, more intentional cleaning routine.
Can one bulk purchase replace multiple smaller products in my home?
Yes. A single Pack of 6 of this dish gel can replace months' worth of smaller dish detergent purchases, allowing you to declutter your cabinet and maintain one trusted product.
Does the plant-based formula align with a minimalist lifestyle of intentional, low-waste purchasing?
Yes. Choosing a plant-based, chlorine-bleach-free, phosphate-free gel in bulk reduces packaging waste, supports intentional purchasing, and aligns with the minimalist principle of buying fewer, better products.
Is this dish gel a good choice for someone building a capsule kitchen with only essential products?
Yes. This single dish gel can serve all your automatic dishwashing needs, making it an ideal addition to a capsule kitchen that values fewer, multifunctional, high-quality products.
Will the bulk Pack of 6 actually save space in my under-sink storage over time?
Yes. The Pack of 6 consolidates your dish detergent into a single purchase that lasts for months, freeing you from accumulating half-empty bottles and freeing up under-sink storage space.
Does the simple ingredient list support a minimalist approach to household products?
Yes. The formula is built around plant-derived enzymes and avoids unnecessary additives like dyes and synthetic fragrances, which aligns with a minimalist preference for simple, purposeful ingredient lists.
Can I use this one product for all my dishwashing needs without supplementary cleaners?
Yes. The Ultra Power Plus formula is engineered for full-strength automatic dishwashing, so you can rely on this single gel for daily family meals, cookware, and glassware without needing additional products.
How does this gel compare to conventional dish gels that come in bright, busy packaging?
Unlike conventional dish gels with loud colors, marketing-heavy labels, and synthetic dyes inside the bottle, this gel features a clean label, transparent formula, and a simple plant-based ingredient list that aligns with minimalist design values.
Is this gel a better fit for a minimalist home than multi-purpose or specialty dish products?
Yes. Rather than maintaining several specialized dish products, this one gel covers your full automatic dishwashing routine, which aligns with the minimalist principle of consolidating to fewer, higher-quality essentials.
How does the bulk purchase compare to a subscription model in terms of simplicity?
A Pack of 6 bulk purchase is even simpler than a subscription because it is a one-time decision that supplies your household for months, eliminating the need to manage recurring orders, account logins, or delivery schedules.
Will the light citrus scent clash with the neutral scent profile of a minimalist home?
No. The fresh citrus scent is subtle and dissipates during the rinse cycle, leaving no strong lingering perfume. It complements a minimalist, neutral home environment rather than competing with it.
I am downsizing to a smaller kitchen — will this large bottle fit in limited storage?
The 65-ounce bottle has a slim, tall profile that fits in most under-sink cabinets and narrow pantry shelves. For very tight spaces, decanting a working amount into a smaller pump bottle is a common minimalist solution.
Is the formula strong enough that I do not need to pre-rinse dishes, saving time and effort?
Yes. The plant-derived enzyme formula is engineered to break down stuck-on food without pre-rinsing, allowing you to load dishes directly and maintain a simpler, more efficient cleanup routine.
How much dish gel should I use per dishwasher load?
Fill the main detergent compartment of your dishwasher according to the fill line, typically about one tablespoon for a standard load. For heavily soiled loads, add a small additional amount to the pre-wash compartment. Avoid overfilling, as more gel does not improve cleaning and can cause excess suds.
Can I use this dish gel for hand-washing dishes as well?
This product is specifically formulated for automatic dishwashers and is not recommended for hand-washing. For hand-washing, use a dedicated hand dish soap. Using automatic dishwasher gel by hand can produce excessive suds and is not designed for skin contact.
Where should I store the dish gel to keep it fresh and effective?
Store the bottle sealed in a cool, dry location such as a kitchen pantry, under-sink cabinet, or utility closet. Avoid direct sunlight, extreme heat, and freezing temperatures, which can affect the gel's consistency and cleaning performance.
Is this dish gel compatible with all standard automatic dishwashers?
Yes. The gel is compatible with all standard residential automatic dishwashers, including top-load, front-load, built-in, portable, and compact models. It works in machines from all major brands and does not require any special adapters or dispensers.
Can I use this dish gel with a rinse aid or in a dishwasher that has a built-in rinse aid dispenser?
Yes. The gel works well on its own but can be combined with a rinse aid for especially hard-water conditions or for glassware that requires extra spot prevention. It is fully compatible with machines that have integrated rinse aid dispensers.
What is included when I order the Pack of 6?
Your order includes six 65-ounce bottles of Seventh Generation Ultra Power Plus Auto Dish Gel in Fresh Citrus Scent. No additional accessories, rinse aids, or dispensers are included. You will need to supply your own dishwasher and any optional rinse aid separately.
Is the formula safe if a small amount is accidentally ingested?
The formula is nontoxic and plant-based; however, it is not intended for ingestion. If accidentally swallowed, rinse the mouth with water and contact a poison control center or healthcare provider, especially for children, as with any household cleaning product.
Does the formula have a strong smell that lingers in the kitchen?
No. The fresh citrus scent is light and dissipates during the rinse and dry cycle, leaving your kitchen smelling clean and neutral rather than heavily perfumed.
What is the difference between automatic dishwashing gel and dish pods?
Automatic dish gel is a liquid detergent that you dispense into your machine's detergent compartment, allowing you to adjust the amount based on load size and soil level. Dish pods are pre-measured, single-use packets that combine detergent and sometimes rinse aid. Gel offers more dosing flexibility and typically dissolves more completely, while pods offer convenience and pre-measured portions. Both formats can deliver excellent cleaning when formulated well.
