  • Sleek, countertop-worthy dispenser design
  • Plant-based, plastic-free wipe materials
  • Refillable, compostable system ethos

  • Under-moisturized wipes performance

  • Less effective on tough messes
  • Occasional lid reloading difficulty

Biom earns positive reviews for chic, refillable dispensers and plant-based, plastic-free wipes that smell appealing (eucalyptus, santal, grapefruit, lavender) and feel durable, but opinions split on performance: many find the wipes under‑moisturized, prone to tearing while dispensing, and less effective on tougher kitchen messes. Reviews also praise countertop‑worthy design, compostability, and convenient minis/flushables, while noting dispensing frustrations and occasional product dryness as recurring drawbacks.

  • 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.

    Feedback

    I would love an unscented option.

  • Fantastic idea with incredibly sleek and functional execution.

    Feedback

    More colors!

  • I absolutely love the packaging, it looks great on the counter & is really functional... will use for all my wipes forever.... but the biom wipes didn't work the best for me. They're durable but not super saturated so I found myself having to use a few at a time. The scent is great and I appreciate the companies vision, but will probably just stick with the container!

    Feedback

    I'd definitely grab the container (ps they have it at The Container Store) and you can grab the wipes with it, or take any wipes out of their plastic container and simply place into the biom container!

  • I purchased the wipes on a thingdrop promotion. I love everything about the design and overall concept of the product. However, when it came to actually cleaning multi-surface areas in my home I did not find it as effective as some the more traditional brands on the market. I also found that they dried out fairly fast even when I kept the top closed and followed instructions.

    Feedback

    I would maybe develop a stronger product solution against taking multi-surfaces. I would also maybe thing about what to do with customers who do not like it and now have a dispensing bottle and will not buy refills. Could there be a return of the bottle so it could be repurposed in some way? For a companies mission to have a low impact on the environment, maybe think how the waste stream of the product and its packaging can be more circular?

  • They make wipes look and feel cool! And smell so delicious and natural. I really appreciate the thoughtfulness in the design and taking a household item like this into a whole new direction. This would be a great housewarming gift for any friend/family.

    Feedback

    Like others have noted, there are a few functionality issues. Wipes not being wet enough. I've even had issues getting the lid on/off to reload. This seems like the sort of company to take note of the feedback, though, so I expect them to make some changes in the future!

  • One of my favorite Thingdrop finds! Can't think of a single con. Price point is comparable to traditional cleaning wipes. The canister not only reduces plastic pollution, but has a simple, pleasant design that I don't mind having out in home/apartment decor. Smell of the wipes isn't harsh or chemical-forward. I'm enrolled in one of their wipe subscriptions, making ordering hassle-free. Obsessed!

  • 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!

  • Such a beautiful container!!! The wipes work great, smell good, and are surprisingly sturdy for how biodegradable they are. High price point, but love the concept of refillable wipes because those Clorox containers are large.

  • These Biom wipes were a lifesaver! Save scent and recycleable helps me be at ease im not wiping chemicals all over my furniture in the name of cleanliness. I can’t wait to try the other scents from the Biom wipes.

  • The wipes are smaller than clorax however they work so well!! I've tried method, seventh generation and they get messes ok but these do a fantastic job! I do find they run a little dry and I have to add a little water to keep them moist.

  • I love that I can leave my cleaning wipes on the counter now and not worry about them being unsightly! They work well, smell good, and don’t leave me worried about chemicals.

    Feedback

    It’s a little hard to open at first, but once you get the hang of it it’s not an issue. Good instructions are included.

  • I love the idea of this product and love the simplicity of the bottle shape.

    Feedback

    I do wish the bottle was a little more user friendly and that the wipes had more moisture to them. Wasn’t sure if I got a dud pack but it looks like others have found the same thing to be true 🥲

  • I really love these! I got the disinfectant wipes after I had covid and pretty much cleaned my whole house with them. Love that the container is reusable and the wipes themselves are compostable. Sometimes the wipes seem a little dry, but I’ll add some extra water and they still get the job done.

  • I recently purchased the Biom Hand Wipes and Dispenser for my home, and I have to admit, my experience with the product has been rather underwhelming. While the hand wipes and dispenser serve their intended purpose, there wasn't anything particularly noteworthy about them that would set them apart from other similar products on the market.

  • Love the sustainability angle, product design, and quality. Looks great on a countertop.

    Feedback

    The wipes just aren't that effective for most dirt and stains that show up in a kitchen.

  • I thought this was just okay. Kind of pricey even at a discount. The wipes have already pretty much dried out and you need several for cleaning.

  • As beautiful as the packaging is, I echo other reviewers who say that the wipes simply aren't moist enough to be useful. I find that I have to add water to them, which defeats the purpose. And yes, despite the videos and instructions on how to pull them out, I also find myself having to unscrew the cap just to pull out one safely and smoothly.

    Feedback

    Make them more moist, with a better way to pull out smoothly.

  • We try to be an earth-friendly family, and Biom helps us do that. There is a Biom cantainer of wipes in our bathroom now. They are great to help keep the sink and counter top clean and fresh.

  • Love the design, it fit in so well I would sometimes forget i had it, but it works well and feels better to use than other more harmful products.

  • I love these, they do a good job while also not making me feel bad about using cleaning wipes.
