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.

  • Upset with delivery timing, but a possible new customer

    I was expecting my purchase to arrive on Tues. December 9th according to the email I was sent. As the days went by I was biting my nails thinking I had missed the drop off. Or my box was stolen. Upon receipt (days later) - I was able to give my mother, the “doubting Thomas” of the family, her gift. Because the toilet cleaners are so big I said that you could break them in half depending on how often you cleaned your toilet area. Due to her scoffing and scorned look, I wasn’t expecting a response. But the next morning, she said that she had tried one on her toilet and was impressed. You may have a new customer! I’m just happy that she trusted my opinion enough to try it!

  • Love using the laundry detergent. Great scent and cleans well. Does not make towel stink like name brand detergents.

  • 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!

  • Blueland’s cleaning products are eco-friendly and smell great without being overpowering. The refill system drastically cuts down on plastic. Some tougher stains need extra elbow grease, but it’s worth it for the sustainability factor.

  • Really like how sustainable this company is and want to try everything. I currently have the dishwasher tablets and body wash which I guess they don't have anymore. It's great knowing you are not going to have to throw away tons of plastic anymore. I really hate plastic and am quick to change my shopping habits whenever I can find alternatives. Blueland not only saves our landfills, but the products are great too!

  • 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 use their entire fleet of products - laundry detergent, dishwasher tablets, sprays. Overall, I think it's a 10/10 in terms of sustainability, aesthetic, and effectiveness. I love how easy it is to replenish off of Amazon or their site. IF YOU WERE TO TRY JUST ONE - I would start with the foaming hand soap - the refills take up no space, which is every small apartment owener's dream!

  • 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.

  • I’ve been looking for ways to be more green and reduce my exposure to microplastics. Super excited I was able to find a non-toxic brand while I am pregnant. Ordered this during July 4th and received it on the 19th. Was really excited to try this product when it arrived. After opening the packaging I realized that the tablets for all of the bottles were missing. Customer service also takes up to 5 days to answer! Bummer I had to wait soo long to receive the product but the QC checks weren’t in place so I cant start using them.

  • Love that this company practicing sustainability. There is too much plastic waste. It's in our food and littering up the beaches, trash dumps and people think nothing of throwing plastic waste on the ground. Blueland's products are of high quality. I use all their products and they give nice tins to store products that can be used time and again. I highly recommend this company and their products.

  • I was so tired of having huge jugs of laundry detergent in my small space and was looking for an alternative when I found Blueland. The laundry tablets and laundry booster work great and take up a fraction of the space of other laundry products. I also tried the hand soap and absolutely love it. Not only does Blueland have great products but I feel great about supporting a small company that shares my passion for sustainability!

  • Blueland's sustainable mission and beautiful packaging is what drew me to their brand. I was gifted the starter set when I first moved into a new apartment and have since tried a number of their products: - I love their spray cleaners but the bottle spouts have crapped out on 2/3 cleaners. Their new spouts are also almost always sold out so I've given up on keeping the cleaners in their actual bottles. I still order the refills but use different bottles as the ones they come in are a miss for me. - I passed on the powder dish soap because I'm happy with our current brand which is SLS-free, which is entirely just a personal preference. - For their dishwasher tablets, they do a great job of keeping our dishes clean. I like that a few extras are always included in the bag to account for any that may have broken during the shipping process. These tablets are a keeper in our routine. - I tried their hand soap refills but stopped ordering those. The scents just weren't for me and didn't hold up to the brand we were using. - I like the Oxi Laundry Booster but think the packaging can use improvement. The top has popped off in my laundry bag multiple times, and the measuring system of pouring the powder into the lid leaves a bit of a mess. - The new Peppermint Eucalyptus scent that was introduced the toilet bowl cleaning tabs is quite nice and the tabs work well. They don't hold up as long compared to the harsher chemicals (ie. scrubbing bubbles) and require a bit more upkeep but I personally don't mind. Overall, I'm happy to support a brand that has sustainability at the forefront and am especially thankful for their refill system as a way to get around some of their packaging which I think can use improvement.

  • Like: Handsoap and Oxi-Booster. Mixed Results: Window cleaner and general purpose cleaner, Concerns about: Pumps for bottles. I really like the hand soaps and have used them exclusively for about 4 years now. Great scents, good mission, nice cleaning power, easy to use. The bottles work well for about a year, but the pumps do break after about a year of use. They used to replace them for free, but now charge for them. I do like the bottles and branding - simple, clean, modern. The Laundry booster scents are also nice and work well. The window cleaner can leave streaks and the general purpose cleaner can leave a residue on my countertops. Gentle scents across the board are nice. Love the mission.

  • 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.

  • I cannot get enough of Blueland!! I am a total clean freak and find all of Bluelands products to work really amazing. The scents are perfect and not terribly overwhelming. The handsoap is my personal favorite because I love being able to keep one nice bottle and refill whenever I need to, without keeping an extra-large bottle of handsoap I'm refilling from. I have a little holder for the tablets under my sinks and find they last for a long time. If you like to use other forms of water (cue witchy full moon wink) when you're crafting products you use often, this is perfect for getting a little extra energy into the bottle.

  • I will always see Blueland as the pioneer in the just-add-water cleaning product space. Have repurchased their spray tablets several times and recommended them to countless friends.

    Feedback

    I would *not* recommend their powdered dish soap. The grains are too small and you can easily inhale the powder which feels dangerous, to say the least. I contacted customer support about it who was lovely, and they sent a new product, but the same problem persisted.

  • Except for hand and facial cleansing (and in addition to dishes, which I use a solid form for as well), I’ve made the switch to bar soap for hair and body. For years, I used a carousel of drying but scented hand soaps from Bath and Body Works, but eventually made the switch to Blueland once I used my supply. I have both a Minnie and Daisy forever bottle, and I was concerned the quality of the Minnie pump to realize it was simply broken when I started using Daisy. I LOVE always being able to try a new scent (old habits) and I wish the scents were a little stronger for my personal taste.
