Blueland reviews and discussion

It is so great that Blueland exists and is doing the work that they do. There have been other "low waste" and "plastic-light" brands before, but Blueland holds a higher standard. The hand soaps smell and feel excellent, the dishwasher and laundry soaps work, and they even have beauty products like face and body wash. I would love to see them expand in other ways to things like shampoo and conditioner.

i love the hand soap! the scents are elevated and the foam is irresistible. love how easy to use and compact the refill packs are. the cabinets beneath my sink are already roomier! can’t wait to try some of their cleaning products in my new place.

Love the philosophy of this company, started by a mother who wants to involve her children and everyone she can in making the world safer. The products I use are the dishwasher and laundry tablets and the laundry booster. They are great.

I use several Blueland products. The dishwasher soap is great, love that it doesn’t leave plastic on my dishes. I also use the hand soap, works great and the scents are fantastic. I use the laundry detergent, works as well as my old detergent and I’m happy not to be using a giant plastic jug. Last but not least, the toilet bowl cleaner is also great, again it’s easily as good as any I’ve used but without the bleachy chemicals and plastic. I’m also very pleasantly surprised by the price.

I REALLY love blueland. I love their products and am always excited to see what new products they come out with and if I can use them in place of other products in my house. I love the reduction in plastic waste- this is what originally got me interested in blueland and why I continue to try and replace other products with blueland products. I appreciate that the packaging is zero plastic as well, so that you can really feel that your purchases are keeping less plastic from being used. Their mission is wonderful and I truly appreciate how their products help me to eliminate sources of plastic waste in my life. Here's a list of the products I have tried: the handsoap (maybe my favorite product), dish washer tablets, dish soap, laundry soap and laundry booster, toilet cleaner tablets, and cleaning sprays (including the glass cleaner). Products I LOVE: handsoap, dishwasher tablets, laundry soap and booster, toilet cleaner Products that didn't make the "LOVE" list: dish soap and cleaning sprays I still use some of the products that aren't in my "LOVE" list- read below if you want specifics on why they didn't meet the "LOVE" list. The following is a review of the various products, read on if you want specifics. Handsoap: I am in love with this. I personally do really enjoy the scents- I use their standard scents and have also gotten the wildflower collection. The scents are enjoyable and not so strong that they are annoying. I think the soap works really well! I like that it foams and have had no complaints. I have had the same bottles for years now and have had zero issues with the nozzles or anything. Every now and then, I will thoroughly scrub the bottles- especially the lettering on top of the nozzle that says blueland (it tends to collect dirt). As long as I scrub the bottles/nozzles every now and then, they stay looking great/clean/new! I love how simple it is to refill them. Dish washer tablets: I also love these. They seem to work really well, honestly. Not much else to say. Dish soap: This is the powder dish soap in non tablet form. This one doesn't make my "LOVE" list because it definitely is not as effective as something like Dawn. So for lots of grease or dishes with stuff stuck to them, I want something else. That said, I do still use this soap. I like to use it for dishes that aren't as tough to clean. I figure it still helps to reduce my plastic waste in that way, even if I need Dawn dishsoap for the tougher dishes. And I have found an additional use for it- I like knowing that it is natural and doesn't have harmful chemicals. That it will be "gentle." So I use it to scrub my reptiles' dishes/ terrarium accessories (I'm a reptile owner). It gets them clean without making me worry about harmful chemicals that might not be safe for reptiles. Laundry soap and laundry booster: Maybe my second favorite to the hand soap! The laundry tablets have always worked great for me, even with really dirty clothes from working outside (I used to work in a job where I would be outside for the entire day in the middle of summer, fighting through dense underbrush at times or climbing up muddy stream banks). I just throw in an extra tablet for really dirty clothes and they've always come out perfectly clean! I was so excited to try the laundry booster when they came out with it and love it! I'm picky about scents but actually really enjoy the scent of the booster (although they also have an unscented option). It smells fairly strong when you are sprinkling it into the washer but isn't too strong on the clothes after washing, which I appreciate. After years of using unscented laundry soap (including before using blueland tablets) I am really enjoying adding scent back into my laundry without having to worry about harmful chemicals. Toilet cleaner tablets: These work well! And are way less harsh for the environment than regular toilet cleaner or straight bleach. Cleaning sprays: I like the general purpose cleaning spray but I don't like the glass cleaner or the bathroom cleaner. These are the only two products from blueland that I actually do not like. I don't like the bathroom cleaner solely because of the scent- it's just unpleasant to me. The glass cleaner I don't like because it doesn't work well. It just doesn't- there's nothing else to say. It leaves streaks. I wish it worked better but it just doesn't. Maybe someday they'll figure out a better formula for it and I'll try it again and be impressed. Additional note regarding the efficiency of blueland products at fighting bacteria- Blueland products aren't antibacterial. I actually like this fact because studies have not shown that antibacterial products are more effective than other (non antibacterial) products. And we actually have a big issue in the world right now with bacteria developing resistance to things like antibiotics. Here are a few articles about this if you want to look into it yourself: https://www.cdc.gov/handwashing/faqs.html https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/take-charge-healthy-aging/newsfeed-post/is-antibacterial-soap-necessary/ https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/antibacterial-soap-you-can-skip-it-use-plain-soap-and-water That's the end of my review! If anyone actually reads this far, thank you haha. I appreciate your commitment and hope you found this useful!

Love these products!

I have used the laundry soap tablets, the dishwasher tablets, the toilet bowl cleaner and the hand washing tablets. I love all of their products that I have used. I love that they are good for the environment and they work very well.

We love our Blueland hand soap bottles and the variety of scents. We have one in the kitchen and one in each bathroom. The foaming soap is smooth and lovely. Thanks for creating such a smart product!

Love the quality feel of the containers. Intentionally designed for you to get the most out of your product. The upfront cost is a little high to get these, but unit economics are way better than what I could find in a store. If you don’t want to spring for a full “starter” kit, your existing spray bottle/mason jar/spice jar should function pretty similarly, but the fancy hardware does make me feel good about myself and increases my enjoyment of using the underlying cleaning products.

I have tried the trio (mirror/glass, multipurpose, and bathroom) as well as the hand soap. Absolutely loved the products and the customer service it’s amazing!!! I than decided to try the dishwasher tabs and body wash. I had pretty high expectations because of loving everything else and they did not disappoint. I have everything sent to me in a time frame that works for our family. Can’t wait to try more products.

The hand soap pumps are cheap and defective!! I would give them a zero rating, but I chose to give a 2 star overall rating for Blueland because I do like almost all of their products and their philosophy of getting rid of single use plastic. I have had issues with the hand soap pumps since day one which for me is 4 years ago. In reading so many other reviews, I am not the only one!!! I have 5 hands soap bottles throughout my house and can’t tell you how many pumps I’ve needed to replace!!! I’ve also received replacement pumps and the replacement pumps don’t work from day one and then I’m having to write Blueland yet again to request replacement pumps! My most recent interaction with blueland was to replace 4 pumps that I had just ordered with some subscription items that stopped working within 2 months. The person said that the pumps I received are the newest design and that I should try pumping 10-15 times to resolve the issues. First of all, this is ridiculous to expect your customers to have to troubleshoot a plastic pump and, secondly, the pump can’t even pump 1 time normally so don’t know why they think 10-15 times would be possible! Blueland can say all they want that the pumps were redesigned and tested, but they don’t look different and they don’t work different. I think I read somewhere in another review that they’ve been tested for a year. I find that very hard to believe considering that I, along with so many other customers, continue to have the EXACT same problem over and over and over again. They seem to be designed to only work for 3 months at the most! They also told me that they will replace them for free up to 100 days. Hmmm… just about the time when they stop working! Blueland, PLEASE go back to the drawing board and get these pumps completely redesigned!! A complete overhaul!! How is it that so many other inexpensive hand soap dispensers you buy in a store (such as Dial or Softsoap, etc) that can be refilled work perfectly fine for years and years and years. This is what I used for 10-20 years before switching to Blueland. Doesn’t add up. I love Blueland’s concept of getting rid of single use plastic along with toxic ingredients, but there comes a point when it’s just not worth the trouble to continually have to deal with unreliable pumps. You never know when they will stop working such as during the holidays when guests are over. Are we expected to have a plethora of pumps on hand at all times to replace at our expense?! Do better Blueland!!!

I absolutely love Blueland. The waste and guilt of buying plastic-packaged cleaning products when they run out is gone. I’m trying to switch everything I can in my home to Blueland; next order has the toilet cleaner and laundry detergent! I can’t wait!

I love Blueland cleaning products. The toilet tablets work wonderfully. The foaming hand soap is my favorite hand soap. The multipurpose,glass and bathroom cleaners work better than others I have tried. Dishwasher tabs clean and dissolve completely without leaving any residue.

Love this brand. When I purchased, I did not expect the high quality along with the natural ingredients. I have tried hand soap, body wash, laundry detergent, oxiclean, dishwasher tablets, toilet tablets, glass cleaner and multi surface cleaner. Highly recommend them all….and for a very good price!

I’m very happy to have solid alternatives! I love the dishwasher soap, the laundry soap, and the oxi-clean boost. The dishwasher soap cleans just as well as anything I used before. Sometimes, the laundry soap does not disintegrate on a cold cycle and takes an extra rinse. I love the face wash, too. It is a solid daily cleanser. The dish soap is okay. It does not get sudsy and does not cut through butter or oil well. I use it for most handwashing, still, but keep a traditional detergent on hand (there are versions in aluminum bottles that are more recyclable than plastic!) I appreciate the subscription ability, but the system is clunky. It’s not easy to combine subscriptions to streamline shipping, reminders are not consistent ahead of shipping, and it’s a very manual process.

Currently using the toilet tabs, foaming hand wash, laundry detergent, body wash and oxy booster for laundry. like many people, have been consciously trying to stop using plastics. The toilet tabs, hand soap and oxy booster are my favorite items. I wish the laundry detergent was a bit stronger; we're kinda messy. I appreciate their products and find them worthwhile.

Blueland offers a variety of environmentally conscious products. I love the laundry detergent, laundry booster, dishwasher detergent and hand soap. The refills are great and it offers compostable and recyclable product refills and packaging.

Love the dishwasher tablets, laundry booster, wool dryer balls. I wish the laundry tablets had the same scent as the booster. The spray bottle tops don't really work but the solutions are good. the soap tablets I feel like you have to double up on in the dispenser otherwise it doesn't feel like it cleans. Also really like the dish soap.

Love the conscience of a subscription and the quality of the product! Love they the are so environmentally conscious!

I have been using Blueland products for several years- toilet bowl cleaner, bathroom cleaner, dishwashing soap, hand soap, laundry detergent. I love them all! My clothes are clean, my dishes sparkling, bathroom clean as well as my hands. The scents are not overpowering but light and fresh. I love how little space they take up in the cupboards. Travel friendly as well. Blueland provides very nice tins to hold their products. Hand soap is dispensed in glass containers. I love that Blueland is earth friendly. No plastics in anything. I have a subscription so no fear of running out of anything. Very happy with Blueland and recommend their products.
