Frequently Asked Questions
Is the formula safe to use around my kids and pets?
Yes. It is EPA Safer Choice certified, fragrance free, and dye free, and is designed to be safe for use in family laundry areas where children and pets are present.
Are the individual powder packs safe to handle?
Yes. Each pack is a single use, fully dissolvable powder pod. You simply drop it into the drum, so there is no measuring, no splashing, and no direct chemical handling.
Does the cleaner produce any fumes during the cycle?
No. The fragrance free, dye free formula is designed to clean without releasing harsh fumes, making it suitable for use in homes with children, pets, or sensitive household members.
Is the formula septic safe so it will not harm my home system?
Yes. The formula is specifically designed to be septic safe, so monthly maintenance will not disrupt the balance of your home wastewater or septic system.
Will the powder pack fully dissolve, or could pieces clog my washer?
Each pack is engineered to be fully dissolvable in a single cleaning cycle, so there is no risk of undissolved pieces clogging the drum, drain, or seals.
Is this washer cleaner safe to use in a home with a baby?
Yes. EPA Safer Choice certification, fragrance free formulation, and dye free composition make it appropriate for family homes with infants and toddlers in or near the laundry area.
Will the cleaner irritate my pet if they walk on the floor nearby?
The formula is non toxic and EPA Safer Choice certified, and any residue rinses through the washer cycle. There is no measurable surface residue that would affect pets walking nearby.
Is the packaging child resistant?
The box and individual powder packs are designed for household use. As with any cleaning product, store the box out of reach of young children and follow the label directions.
Can I leave the house while the cleaning cycle runs?
Yes. The washer handles the full cycle automatically. There is no flame, no hot wax, and no ongoing supervision required like there would be with an open flame or active cleaning product.
How does this compare to using chlorine bleach in the washer?
It avoids the harsh fumes, accidental splashing, and chemical handling risks of bleach, while still lifting odor causing residue, and is certified safe for septic systems.
Is this safer for septic than liquid washing machine cleaners?
Yes. The septic safe, 92% USDA biobased formula is designed to break down in home wastewater systems more gently than many conventional liquid washer cleaners.
Is it safer around kids than DIY vinegar washes?
Yes. The formula is EPA Safer Choice certified, fragrance free, and pre measured, so you avoid handling concentrated vinegar and dealing with lingering acidic smells around children.
What if my child accidentally opens a powder pack?
The formula is EPA Safer Choice certified, but you should still store packs out of reach of children. If ingestion occurs, follow the directions on the label and contact poison control as a precaution.
Will monthly use damage my washer seals or gasket?
No. The formula is designed for regular monthly maintenance on washer drums, seals, and gaskets, and will not degrade rubber components when used as directed.
Is it safe for homes with greywater or septic systems?
Yes. The formula is septic safe and 92% USDA biobased, making it appropriate for homes on septic, greywater, or municipal wastewater systems.
I am nervous about using chemicals near my family. How do I know this is truly safer?
EPA Safer Choice certification means every ingredient has been reviewed for safer human and environmental use. Combined with the fragrance free, dye free, biobased formula, it is one of the most family conscious options on the market.
How do I use Seventh Generation Washing Machine Cleaner?
Place one single use pack directly into the washer drum. Run the washer on a normal or hot cleaning cycle with no clothing. Repeat once per month for ongoing maintenance.
How often should I clean my washing machine with this product?
Use one pack per month for routine maintenance, or more frequently if your washer develops odor, visible residue, or mildew on the seals.
Do I need to wipe out the washer after the cleaning cycle?
No. The dissolvable pack rinses away during the cycle. For best results on front loaders, you can wipe the door gasket dry after the cycle to prevent future mildew.
Is this compatible with front load washing machines?
Yes. The formula is designed for front load, top load, and HE washers, including front loaders prone to mildew and gasket buildup.
Is this compatible with high efficiency HE washers?
Yes. It is specifically formulated to be safe and effective in HE machines and will not disrupt the low water, low suds design of HE washers.
What is included in the box?
Each box contains 6 single use, fully dissolvable powder packs. The product is also available in a 1 pack trial size and a 2 pack value bundle for longer term maintenance.
Is this product safe for septic systems?
Yes. The formula is septic safe and 92% USDA Certified Biobased, making it appropriate for homes on septic, greywater, or municipal wastewater systems.
Will the formula damage my washer seals or internal parts?
No. When used as directed, the formula is designed for regular monthly maintenance and is safe for washer drums, seals, gaskets, and internal components.
What is the difference between a washing machine cleaner and a regular laundry detergent?
Laundry detergent cleans clothing. A washing machine cleaner is designed to clean the washer itself, lifting odor causing residue, mildew, and detergent buildup from the drum, seals, and internal components that detergent cannot reach.
