  • Biom products have a modern and sleek appearance with innovative thoughtfulness. The wipe dispenser looks great on the counter, and the scents available are impeccable!

  • Biom has really stepped up the cleaning game with their plant-based and biodegradable multi-purpose cleaning wipes! I love that they’re eco-friendly, which is a huge plus for me, but they also work incredibly well. These wipes easily tackle everything from kitchen counters to bathroom surfaces, and they leave a fresh, clean scent without any harsh chemicals. The texture is strong enough to handle tough messes, and I feel good knowing that they break down naturally, reducing waste. If you’re looking for an effective, environmentally conscious cleaning solution, Biom’s wipes are definitely worth trying!

  • Love the concept and the look of the dispenser but the wipes don’t dispense with ease or without tearing and yes I loaded the wipes correctly. Frustrating user experience.

  • Absolutely love the container and the santal scent. The wipes are super dry unfortunately so you need to use a lot more versus the competing brand ):

  • I really liked the unboxing for Biom, it was really clean and streamlined even though the box was bigger than I expected. The design of the container is nice and I liked the quantity of wipes. My main issue with Biom is that I kept ripping the wipes when pulling them through the dispensing slot. The wipes weren't sturdy enough to make it through without ripping. I love the concept of Biom I just would not repurchase if the wipes weren't fixed because I ended up opening the container to get the wipes versus using the dispensing slot.

    Make the wipes sturdier! Also can we compost the wipes?

    I recently got my Biom and I'm having the same problem. It's VERY difficult to get the first wipe through the hole, and then it tears easily. And yes, I'm using the innermost wipe. Once I had it going, some were OK but two-out-of-three would tear. It seems that the hole is just too small. The wipes are also a bit dry.

  • I love the look of this container on my counter. It’s the same matte black as my expensive water kettle so it doesn’t look ugly or out of place on the counter! The bergamot wipes I picked also smell great and do a good job of cleaning up messes and don’t leave any residue behind. I really appreciated the personal touch from the company’s founder who sent a personalized video to me talking about the company and the best way to use the canister. Unfortunately the pull method they recommended doesn’t work very well and the wipes kept ripping when I tried to pull them out (both the way they recommend and the way they don’t) and the top one dries out pretty quickly when sticking out of the hole so I’ve just resigned myself to taking the whole lid off whenever I need a wipe.

    Feedback

    They would truly be 5/5 if the wipes were stronger or the “pull hole” was weaker, also the wipes could be a little more moist so they don’t dry out so fast.

  • I was trying to cut back on paper towel usage and find a cleaner/cleaning wipe that wasn't so harsh. I happened to catch Biom on a Thingdrop and was pretty excited for the product. Having those ugly plastic satchels laying around our house was hurting my OCD soul. Naturally I loved the Biom canister and the fact that these bad boys are biodegradable. I keep them with our home workout equipment and it's been a great product to clean the ole Peloton with. If you consider that a pack of Clorex wipes is about $6, Biom's products are a no brainer given that they smell wayyy better and are environmentally friendly 🌲☮️✌🏼

    Loading the wipes was tricky at first. Probably user error but I found there to be quite a bit of resistance when pulling wipes from the canister. I wish there were different time horizons for the subscription (e.g., every 3-4 months), at least it doesn't come across that way on the All-Purpose Cleaning Wipes product page.

  • Like the idea of the product and the container looks cool. In practice however, it was hard for me to load properly with the wipes, which also weren’t easy to pull out and dispense. Wipes dried out as well during those challenges.

    Feedback

    Preloaded containers or more obvious instructions on how to use would help.

  • My household is not a Clorox wipe household, but I picked Biom up during a Thingdrop because I was interested in the convenience of a wipe without the obnoxious packaging or bad chemicals. On those two fronts, Biom delivers! It is a chic, Wall-E style container that sits comfortably and pleasantly on my kitchen counter. I appreciated getting 2 sets of wipes in the package and the box, while huge, is beautiful and will make a great care package box!

    Feedback

    As others have mentioned, the wipes lack enough moisture to wipe down an entire kitchen or bathroom, so I still feel like I am wasting it! UPDATE: what it lacks in moisture, it has in durability; even though it wont wipe away a grease spot with ease, it WILL remain untorn throughout

  • This is an impressive plant-based product! From the personalized video from the creator to the quality of the product, I am sold on these wipes. When I first looked at the container I thought it was going to be very flimsy, but it is very sturdy and the wipes are durable as well. Their smell is refreshing and clean.

    Feedback

    It truly is a great product all around! Maybe the packaging could be downsized a bit.

  • I am thrilled that I discovered Biom and got to try it through Thingtesting! A lot of thought went into this product, which is evident from when you press "send to order"...I received a thoughtful video email from the brand founder and nuggets of wisdom regarding the brand's purpose and mission while awaiting the product's arrival. I love a good unboxing experience, and Biom didn't disappoint. The experience was pleasant! One could say that the shipper is a bit large and wasteful, but it's made from cardboard and molded fiber pulp, and all of it is recyclable. Again, you can tell that a lot of thought went into the design of the container. All boxes are checked in terms of durability, functionality, and it's aesthetically pleasing :) Nice to keep on the countertop vs. a plastic mass brand container. The container kind of looks like a bluetooth speaker! All in all, I like what Biom is doing :) Side note: Although it's not a toothbrush, Biom reminds me of Quip!

    The wipes are pretty good. I like the formulation, but they're not wet enough. When the wipe hits the object I am trying to wipe down; it's almost dry :/. I've checked the seals of the container for air leaks, and all is good on that front- I think the alcohol rapidly evaporates.

  • First of all, I love the concept of sanitizing alcohol wipes that are plant-based and biodegradable. I constantly use wipes, so it's nice to know I'm reducing my environmental impact by using ones that can be compostable. After I placed the order, I received a nice video from the founder which was a nice touch. Sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest impact. It also came in a cute, plastic-free box with easy-to-follow instructions. I also really appreciate the transparency on the website.

    The shipping was a little slow...but given we are still in a pandemic, I shouldn't complain about that. Will definitely buy this product again.

  • I didn’t think I could love a cleaning product so much but I do? The packaging is so modern and sleek looking that I don’t mind at all keeping this on my counter. It’s so handy for quickly cleaning my phone or other objects that carry a ton of bacteria and I bring into my home. Love that the vessel is reusable and not a giant plastic container. The scent is super soft and pleasant - no alcohol smell and it doesn’t feel like a harsh cleaning product.

    Feedback

    Could be cool to have a suction cup on the bottom so I can stick it to my counter and not need to use two hands to get a wipe out.

  • I love the aesthetic and the mission of the brand. I’m excited about all I’ve learned about wipes through biom and the lavender wipes smell amazing.

    Feedback

    Would love to see more types of wipes.

  • i ordered eucalyptus & am very sensitive to scent & found this to be just right. the container is sturdy & each wipe comes out easy. i definitely like that there were several color options for the container as its much nicer to leave out on my bathrm sink sort of blending in with the countertop. i also struggle with the guilt of using so many wipes esp during the pandemic so finding these plant based compostable is great!

    Feedback

    shipping was very slow & was a lot of packaging. the founder emailed a video explaining the company, the wipes etc which i thought was a nice touch. my main issue is the wipes aren’t wet enough & if even a small part of the next wipe comes up & is in the lid of the container until you use it that part is completely dried out but high alcohol content will do that. i like that they dont leave my hands sticky or with a strong scent. also a bit expensive for amount we go through.

  • If you're looking for a product that cleans everything from your countertops to your little one's mouth and hands, this is it. Biom is an eco friendly, safe cleaning wipe that also looks great sitting on your kitchen countertop. I keep the travel size pouches in my car, in my purse, and in my dog walking bag and they're super handy. I love that the container comes in multiple fun colors and is refillable. Fair warning though, Biom wipes are not cheap - hence the 4 stars instead of 5. There are 50 wipes per refill so you might go through them relatively quickly. I recommend buying when you find a discount code or sale and then stock up!

  • I’ve said good but to the ugly plastic counter spray bottle and replaced it with biom. Keeps my kitchen less cluttered, more clean and the wipes smell amazing!

  • First off, I love the design and eco-friendly packaging, it is a gamechanger for my cleaning needs. But more importantly, the wipes are awesome. I have had several re-orders and every one is moist and cleans surfaces without streaks or residue. The sanitizing wipes are in my office, car, and bathroom and my kids like the smell of the wipes. I would like to see larger wipe count as I go through these very fast!!

  • Simple design and simple product. Love them.

    Feedback

    I’d say the thickness of the wipes. Maybe a different version for heavier messes

  • First of all, love the dispenser - great design and colors. I put one in the kitchen and one near my plants to wipe down surfaces and leaves. The best part for me is that biom’s wipes are kitchen compostable. I find we are using fewer and fewer paper towels.

    I would love an unscented option.
