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 think it's such a brilliant idea to rehydrate the soaps and cleaning products at home in reusable bottles. I use my own bottles but buy the dissolvable tabs from Blueland and they work great, same as any other normal soap. I also use their sponges and swedish cloths and love that I can just throw them in my compost bin.

  • I love the idea and concept that Blueland promotes, and we have exclusively used Blueland hand soaps in our house for 3 years now. It has been nice not to have to purchase any hand soap at all (the pod refills last quite a while and we've ordered refills once). I'm a fan of the smells they offer and appreciate that the scents are light and fade rather quickly (especially as I keep one in my kitchen, and I don't like extremely fragrant soap smell on my hands while I'm cooking or touching food). The appearance of the hand soap is minimal, attractive, and easy to keep clean. You can even opt for a black soap pump head instead of the white you usually see advertised, which gives another good aesthetic option.

    We have been told by multiple houseguests who have come over and tried the soaps that the soaps feel like 90% air and not enough soap. I think our friends who felt this way are used to traditional thicker gel hand soaps, and although I agree the soap foam is very light, this is not a dealbreaker for me. What has been a bit disappointing is the inconsistent quality of the plastic pump head/pump mechanism of the hand soap container. We've replaced ours about 4-5 times since our first purchase which surprised me. The glass bottle itself has been great and not given us any issues, but the pumps seem to break relatively easily. It's still better than buying traditional hand soaps but even Bath & Body Works seem to have figured out a really good foam soap pump mechanism that feels sturdier than this Blueland one. With the pump improved, this would be a perfect product for me.

  • I love the concept of refillable cleaning products but Blueland didn't meet all of my expectations. If I was rating just the foaming hand soap refills and dispensers I would give it a 5/5! The scents are amazing and it works great. The cleaning sprays were not as amazing as I would've hoped. The nozzle on the bathroom cleaner bottle was defective. The glass and mirror cleaner worked well but the multi-surface cleaner and the bathroom cleaner were just okay.

    The cleaning product bottles need to be fixed.

  • I wanted to love them so bad but I just don’t. Of the 4 products I received, 2 have a defective nozzle. Thankfully their customer support is good and replaced them but that is a 50% defective rate. On top of that there is a $30 minimum for free shipping which is good from an environmental perspective (less transportation pollution per item) but practically, it forces you to stock up with way too much product. Their powdered dish detergent is also easily their worst product.

    I wish the refills were also sold at some stores like Whole Foods, or even partnered with local zero-waste refill stores to make it more convenient. I also wish the dish soap wasn’t powdered. Lastly, something needs to be done about the nozzle/pump situation.

  • I switched over to Blueland just about a year ago and I really enjoy their hand soaps, cleaners, and their new body washes! They're a great, affordable re-usable cleaner option with lovely scents. I have never had an issue with the effectiveness of their cleaners and it feels great to not create so much plastic waste like I would if I was going through bottles of normal cleaner.

    I wish the cleaner bottles were also glass!

  • Love their mission and so far have had a good experience with their products cleaning products my faves are their hand soap and all purpose cleaner. I’m on the fence about their laundry detergent. I have a front loading washing machine and the tablet always gets stuck in the front and not dissolving. Their spray bottles are plastic, but seem durable so far.

  • I used Blueland for three months and was never impressed by it. I loved the sustainability of it and the look of the bottles, but the product itself felt lacking and the bottles were very cheaply made. They started leaking and creaking within a month and by the third month I was barely using the product because of how much of a mess it made while trying to clean. I love the mission of Blueland but the product does not live up to the hype.

    Almost everything about it.

  • Love their website, very easy to navigate!

    I love their packaging and the ability to buy refills. Products arrive super quickly and are so easy to use! Keeps surfaces clean!

  • I've been using Blueland for years now- I love this brand. I use their dish washing soap + detergent, three cleaners, and foaming soap. I have never had any complaints!

    Feedback

    Maybe make the kitchen cleaner a different color- sometimes feel like I'm spraying something not so appetizing on the counters :p I'd love to see an upgrade on the soap nozzles so there's less plastic.

  • Love using Blueland products - I've used all except the hand soap so far. I'm a very last-minute shopper (e.g., oops I'm out of soap) so I was skeptical that I'd use Blueland after my first round of tablets ran out. Product works great, being able to store multiple tablets in a tin is great.

  • So far we really like these products. One bottle did crack, which was unfortunate, but we love the mission and the branding.

  • Love the laundry booster. Haven’t found anything else like it in the market! The scent stays in the clothes once dried and plastic free :)

  • II’m having a terrible experience. I placed an order over a month ago and still haven’t received it. I reached out multiple times with no real response — only one message saying it was delayed, and nothing since. Now they won’t even refund me, and I’m having to involve my bank to try to get my money back. I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone — there are better, more affordable brands out there. It’s a shame it had to come to this instead of the company simply helping me.

  • This review is for the hand soap.The pumps break all the time. I have had to buy four extra pumps in the last eight months. Two more broke down last week and I had to order a few so as to have back up. Since the price for the pumps doesn’t reach their minimum order for free shipping I’ve had to buy additional product that I don’t really need right now. It is not worth the hassle. The variety of the tablets is good and the bottle is pretty. However, it has been a big headache. Find a different brand.

  • I’ve been using Blueland for a few months and love how easy and sustainable it is. The refillable cleaning tablets work great, smell fresh, and cut down on plastic waste. It’s a small change that makes a big difference for the environment. Plus, everything looks clean and minimalist on my counter. Highly recommend for anyone looking to reduce single-use plastics without sacrificing performance

  • I have gradually switched over to Blueland product for two reasons: 1) trying to eliminate plastic, 2) the products I have used so far, WORK. The dishwasher tabs do a great job and the laundry detergent along with the Oxi-boost clean my clothes. I am pleased that all these products take little room and effort. The toilet tabs are the best .. no more hard water rings around the inside of bowl. I will continue to use Blueland

  • I wholeheartedly stand by Blueland. Their products are high quality, they are cost-efficient, and take up way less space than normal cleaning products in the home. They smell great and are very allergy-friendly (especially the laundry detergents and hand soaps for sensitive skin!).

  • I use Blueland dishwasher tabs, laundry tabs and toilet bowl cleaner. All clean their respective things really well and the scents are nice and fragrant. It makes me feel good to use this company. My only issue is sometimes the tabs break or are crumbled at the bottom. But it’s not a huge issue.

  • Faithful user of the powder dish soap and laundry tablets! I first ordered Blueland in January 2024 after doing a deep dive on microplastics. The laundry sheets I'd been using were not as clean as I thought. We quickly became loyal fans of the powder dish soap--which works both for general dish washing and as a light scrub for our stainless sink and nonstick pans. The refillable shaker design is smart and easy to grip. For laundry, we have had really good success with the tabs. If I have a larger or dirtier load, I just use 1-1/2 or 2 tablets, as suggested in instructions. I've had these two items on auto-ship for a year now and really love the products. Yes they're a little more costly, but I am sold on the effectiveness and eco-friendliness.

  • Cleans well no mess no plastic waste
