  • Plastic-free packaging elegance
  • Light, pleasant fragrance profiles
  • Effective dishwasher tablet cleaning
  • Space-saving refill tins
  • Fragile, finicky pump mechanisms
  • Streak-prone glass cleaner formula
  • Inconsistent laundry tab dissolution
  • Underpowered greasy-mess cleaning

Blueland impresses in reviews for delivering effective, low‑waste cleaning—dishwasher tablets, foaming hand soap, toilet tabs, and laundry routines often perform as well as conventional options with lighter, pleasant scents and compact, plastic‑free refills—so the brand is good for everyday cleaning. However, reviews flag inconsistent cleaning strength for heavy messes (glass cleaner streaks, dish powder and some sprays underperform), dissolving issues with laundry tabs, and widely reported failures of plastic “forever” bottles, pumps, and sprayers.

  • The product works great.It is an excellent cleaner for dished and many other uses as well. It is a good cleaner for scrubbing the tub. I love not adding toxic plastic to this amazing planet and treating her with dignity honor and respect!

  • Let's face it - regular toilet bowl cleaners are scary. If there are warnings that you aren't even supposed to TOUCH it, why would I feel comfortable keeping it in the cabinet under the sink? I was looking for a simple, clean and effective toilet cleaner without the anxiety, and the Blueland toilet bowl cleaner tabs pass the test. Cleaning it simple as dropping in a tab, waiting for it to fizz and dissolve, then scrubbing your toilet like normal. The cleaner smells fresh without feeling like I should be wearing a mask, and it makes cleaning easier so I do it way more often. I do wish their pricing made more sense without the tin - I could easily store these in a reusable jar I already had on hand, but it made more sense price wise to buy the whole tin.

  • I have been using Blueland products for a short while now in an effort to live more sustainably, and I’ve been really impressed by their mission. The shipping is plastic free and compact, which dramatically cuts down on shipping emissions since they are not paying to transport water, like most other products. Things that I really like are the compostable tablet wrappers. The fragrances are subtle and don't have that harsh, chemical smell of traditional cleaners. Storing a handful of tiny tablets takes up practically zero space. Areas that need improvement are the cleaning products are great for day to day cleaning but I still require heavy duty cleaners, especially in the bathrooms. My biggest complaint is that the spray bottles are plastic. They are good quality and the nozzles seem to hold up so far but they should be glass as the plastic bottles, yes refillable, this challenges the ideology of no plastics. If users are concerned with them breaking, as I read in one comment, do they not have glass drinking glasses or other glassware that can break? I would risk broken glass instead of perpetuating microplastics. I wanted my household routine to use more sustainable products without compromising on basic cleanliness, Blueland is absolutely worth it. I have recommended their products to many of my friends and family already.

  • Great cleaning product. Although I was expecting a glass bottle for the forever bottle, and I am curious what the bottle is made of?

  • blueland cleaning bottle

    What is the blueland cleaning bottle made of? I was expecting a glass bottle

  • I've used Blueland dishwasher tablets, hand soap and laundry detergent for years. Looking back, it all adds up to NOT using and discarding aTRUCKLOAD of plastic containers. My dishes are clean and never smell of perfumed standard dish soap. One tablet dropped in the foaming hand soap bottle lasts for a couple of weeks. My clothes get just as clean as when I used heavy bottled name-brand products. I know I make a difference when it comes to "clean" energy.

  • I love these tablet and their smell. They work very well.

  • Love the blueland hand soaps - they have a wide array of scents…but the best part about this company is the customer service. We had an issue with malfunctioning hand pumps but the company responded quickly and appropriately. We will continue to use blueland products for a looong time.

  • I really like the mission behind blueland but i think they could do somethings better especially given the price. The resuable bottles are plastic. It would make so much more sense if they were glass. The cleaners themselves are ok.

  • smells great, but not overpowering. easy to use and refill. not sure if they will be powerful enough for deeper cleans, but nice to have for quick clean ups. the design is super cute as well - wish this kit came in glass.

  • Blueland makes it so easy to swap out basics for their less plastic versions. I've been using the dishwasher tablets for almost a year now and they do just a good a job as any other dishwasher tablet i've used but with zero plastic to deal with. The tablets themselves are powder based and they come in a reusable tin. Refill packs come in a paper bag. So easy and the tin is very cute!

  • I very much appreciate the brand’s mission: love the fact that packaging is compostable. I’ve tried a number of their products. The hand soap is excellent (*****). I have some favorite scents (Iris/Agave) but even the lavender scent- which I normally don’t enjoy- is pleasant. The surface cleaner is fine: the main advantage is the minimal packing (****) I’ve also tried (1) the toilet tablets (**) mostly useless but they did smell pleasant; and (2) dishwashing tablets (***) which worked for moderately soiled dishes only

  • I do really like these refills. I think they are a good value, the scents are fresh, and it's very sustainable. The result is fairly liquidy but, to me, that means that I don't need to use much to get a quality wash. They're easy to store since they take up virtually no space!

  • I tried the hand wash from blueland and quite like it! It foams nicely and the bottle is sturdy. The soap isn’t anything life changing, but I like the idea that I can now buy the refill tablets which are less harmful to ship than big jugs of soap! Would recommend as an eco friendly swap!

  • I like the glass bottles. They’re heavy duty and look substantial. The process for rehydrating the hand soap from foaming tablet is easy- drop the tablet into water up to the line on the bottle and wait until the fizzing stops. I like to invert the bottle a time or two to mix the solution. The first few pumps issue a thin foam (don’t stand in front of the nozzle), but it gets thicker over time. I usually try to do the process overnight when it is time for a refill. I have this bottle and soap at all three bathroom sinks, and am thinking about one for the kitchen.

  • ABSOLUTELY LOVE BLUELAND LAUNDRY!!! I have severe skin issues and sensitivity this is the only laundry product that doesn’t burn my skin or cause severe irritation

  • I love all of the Blueland products! The laundry, dishwasher and toilet cleaner tablets are all working great. I also love the hand soap and body wash. Very happy with all of the products!

  • I received a BS degree later in life in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Since attending the first Earth Day in LA in 1970, I’ve cared about our planet and the effects of mankind and advancing. I began worrying about products used in our food processing, agriculture to our homes. By 2010, I began seriously studying the effects of what we use in our daily lives and products we clean with. Then of course the excessive use of plastics and their damage became more apparent. So the serious search began for less plastic packaging, but clean ingredients that don’t do damage. I went through several companies and not 100% percent satisfied until I found Blueland. It started with the detergent tablets and then to dishwasher, hand soaps, and kitchen dish soap for those quick washes you do by hand. We have house cleaners now as I can no longer do it in my late 70’s and my daughter is in healthcare with long hours. We do keep the Blueland multisurface cleaner around as it works on so much. We receive our order every three months which keeps shipping and it’s damages down. Every product we’ve used from Blueland we are 100% pleased with. They do their job. We use scent free except for the foam hand soaps and the fragrances are fresh and not strong. I have nothing to complain about. No issue with plastics, no issue with pods causing microplastics, less garbage and/or recycling, and limited damage from shipping. Oh and the best is the cost, which we found very affordable for all that they do. I highly recommend it to anyone - whether your main concern is the environment or not, as they’re no big storage problems from huge bulky containers, and as I mentioned less trash and/or recycling. All a win-win.

  • Love the hand soaps & laundry tablets. Super easy to use and love the brand's focus on sustainability. I also think the bottles are beautiful. Easy to get refills and use them!

    Feedback

    The dish washer tablets definitely did not clean as well as traditional brands. Also just be warned that the tablets take a little while to dissolve.

  • Tried Blueland’s glass and mirror cleaner and really really love it. The formula works amazingly well to clean my bathroom mirror - didn’t need to wait for the spray ‘soak’ into any smudges and dirty patches, they wiped off right away.
