Reviews mention

  • 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.

  • I really enjoy the concept of the brand and their eco friendly mission. I have purchased a lot of products from them and my favorites are the multi surface spray and foaming hand soaps. The multi surface spray is great for a casual clean but I would still use other products for a deeper clean. The foaming hand soap is great and comes in so many different scent options. I’ve had some issues with the pump but their customer service team sent me replacements.

    Their window/glass cleaner is mediocre at best and I’ll probably still stick to Windex. Their laundry tablets do not always dissolve in the washing machine and sometimes chalk up weirdly (not sure if my loads are too full?).

  • Have been using Blueland since they first launched and love every product they've come out with and of course their mission.

  • Was really excited for this sustainable brand, bought the handsoap. To my dismay, the soap pellet settled at the bottom of the water and never dissolved. I love the idea but they need to work on their formulation more.

  • I’m sorry but the blue land body wash was terrible. After combining the powder and water it creates this slurry that is slimy and does not smell nice. It also never stops being slimy. If You keep adding water to the slurry it somehow it just continues to produce more “soap” but really it’s just weird smelling slime.

  • I love Blueland's mission, packaging, and branding. However, the dish soap didn't work as well as I thought it would. It had a hard time cutting through grease/oil. I wouldn't use their dish soap again but I would like to try their household cleaners and hand soap!

  • I use the hand soap, laundry tablets, and laundry booster. I bought the dishwasher tablets as well but haven't run out of our other tabs yet so haven't started using them. I love the laundry products. They get the job done and aren't overpowering with scent. Love the space saving tins. The hand soap took a while to get used to because it doesn't have the slimy feel of most soaps. One tab lasts longer than I expected and I like the scents! Looking forward to trying other products.

  • My experience with Blueland is that it's pretty hit or miss: there are extremely good products, and there are extremely mediocre products. From what I've tried: The hand soap, laundry pods, and dishwasher pods are all excellent, get the job done, smell great, and save space and waste as intended. I love taking a couple of the laundry pods with me when I travel. The cleaning spray pellets are great, but the bottles they come in are a pain: the sprayer doesn't bounce back smoothly and makes the whole thing inefficient to use. I buy the pellets, but use them in bottles left over from other cleaning sprays. The dishwash powder for hand dishwashing is not good - weird sensory experience to use, actually pretty wasteful in that the powder gets used up very quickly and the container is a completely single-use item that has no purpose once you realize the powder is a pain. But I will keep buying my favorites forever! Especially the hand soap - huge fan.

  • Love the laundry detergent and the multipurpose cleaner. The hand soap is nice but the foaming head tends to get stuck all the time. The dish-soap just never felt like it was quit cutting it in terms of cleaning unfortunately.

  • While I agree with several of the critiques of other viewers, I'm too loyal to quit now short of any major pains. Blueland provided an almost all-in-one kit solution for a more sustainable cleaning routine at the right time for me. I just love and appreciate the brand - maybe their social presence is doing a number on me? Anyway, I feel like the products are effective and now that I have a lot of their Forever Bottles already I'm not going to switch to a competitor. I guess the upfront investment in that goes a long way but even so I haven't had any experiences that made me want to drop the brand entirely. I think they're just going to keep iterating to make and refine products consumers actually want and love.

    Agree that the dish powder is terrible - I've switched to a plastic-free dish soap bar that I love. Would buy from Blueland if they made something like that. I've also tried the laundry "pods" and switched to just a baking soda powder I can buy in bulk. Another thing I'd probably get from Blueland if they had it. The Oxy booster smells pretty good but it's not a usual part of my routine. I don't love the smell of the all-purpose cleaner but maybe the newer tabs are better. I bought a black soap set specifically for the aesthetic and I like the hand soap smells though they often aren't very strong. Also, I'm glad the black bottles have a smaller logo but the original hand soap bottle logo is a bit much. I definitely agree that the shipping minimum is a challenge because I have a huge backstock of tabs that I bought just to meet it when I needed something else. I had the original Forever Bottles which all cracked and had to be replaced but the updated design seems to be holding up well and customer support was very helpful.

  • I repurchase the foaming hand soap tablets & the toilet bowl tablets consistently & think the quality is pretty OK. I think this brand is great for someone trying to break into being more conscientious about their plastic waste, but the prices can be rather steep & the tablets I've found aren't comparable cleaning wise to some of the "toxic" cleaners found at Target. I appreciate the bundling discounts when purchasing more of a product!

    Feedback

    The mixing of the hand soap tablets + the water. No matter what I do (temperature of water, agitation while the tablet is dissolving), I always find a lot of "powder" at the bottom of the bottle, so it feels like you have to mix or shake the hand soap everytime you wash. Would also love to see more scents of the hand soap tablets.

  • I use Blueland for most household goods! The customer service is great and products are as high quality as the less sustainable / more chemical stuff you get from the grocery store. I wish it was a bit cheaper but highly recommend!

    Nothing in particular!

  • I've been using the entire Clean Suite (hand soap, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, multi-surface cleaner, etc. included) on pretty much a daily basis and it frankly makes me embarrassed to think about all the single-use plastic packaging I went through with all my cleaning products pre-Blueland. My only concern in the beginning was the effectiveness of the products ("they don't seem "strong" enough") but they clearly get the job done, and in a more natural/safe way. Shopping for refills has become an exciting thing, and the plastic-free packaging + reasonable prices makes it make sense. Huge, huge fan!!

  • I love all the cleaning sprays. The hand soap is good too. I have the dish tabs but haven't used them yet.

    Feedback

    I love the idea of the powder soap and the grittiness really seems like it cleans things. However, the powder soap has really fine particles and if you aren't super careful you can inhale!! I've stopped using because its kind of a pain.

  • The foaming hand soaps and glass bottles are so aesthetic and make me feel good about using a clean product without harmful ingredients.

  • I have been trying to make my household as plastic free as possible, and it is so hard. Blueland has made it much easier though. I switched my dishwashing soap, dishwasher soap, laundry detergent, all spray cleaners, hand soap, body gel and toilet cleaner to this brand, and I have zero regrets. Everything is refillable, comes in plastic free paper bags, and their customer service is amazing.

  • Smells great, cleans well.

  • The powdered dish soap was cool and worked well but I thought their spray cleaners did not do the job of cutting grease very well, and he glass cleaner was very streaky.

  • I started using Blueland because I appreciated their attempt to offer alternatives to plastic, single-use packaging and forward thinking on more natural ingredients. I started with their hand soap and was surprised at the results. The soap was able to break through dirt and grime, but also lotions, makeup residue, and oils. And it didn't dry out my hands like others have. The only thing was the pumps never lasted long. They're inexpensive to replace, but over the past two years, I've started to need replacements every few months. With three dispensers in my home now, all of them having trouble at one time or another, I've gone through so many replacements, I've lost patience. Looking through the bag of duds I have waiting to take to recycle, I've now amassed a collection of 12 pumps this past year alone trying to get one that works. And that doesn't include ones that I've received free replacements for because they didn't work from the start. I want to like the company, but if they have such difficulty with soap pumps (which is an apparent known issue since they've started offering free replacements since I started using them), I can imagine what issues there might be with their cleaning product lines. How reliable are their products at truly providing the cleanliness that they advertise?

  • Overall the cleaning products work well. I currently use the kitchen bathroom and glass spray, dishwasher tablets, toilet tablets and the hand soap tablets. Love the dishwasher and toilet tablets the best. The soap and kitchen spray work well. I'm working my way through the bathroom and glass cleaner, but unless there's a formula change will not buy again. Especially the glass, it's just not good. Also, while I love the packaging a and the sustainability of this brand, it's "forever" bottles Especially the sprays and pumps are awful. I've ended up replacing those bottles with other "non forever" bottles and the sprayers and pumps are still going strong so not sure what gives here. Overall highly recommend for the cleaning product itself.

  • Love Love Love: Hand soaps, Laundry pellets, dish soap (for hand washing), and dryer balls OK: dishwasher pellets, oxy booster, sponges w/scrubby side Did Not Like: sponges w/o scrubby side, toilet bowl cleaner, all-purpose cleaner I am super loyal to my love love loves! The Oks I order from time to time. What I didn't like about the others...sponges w/no scrubby side didn't get stuck on food, had to break out another tool for that. Toilet Bowl cleaner, smelled great but my toilet started to show residue in half the amount of time compared to my normal toilet cleaner (I do have have a well and we do have red clay in our area). All purpose cleaner, it didn't have the umph of my normal cleaner and took more spray.
