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.

  • Nit a fan of the products at all. None of the spray bottles worked when received and even the replacements stopped working after a month. Changing or canceling my subscription has been nearly impossible! I want to close my account but they won't let me! Do not sign up!!

  • Foaming hand soap, shower gel, dishwashing tablets, laundry tablets...I love all of these! The original containers/dispensers are a nice quality, the packaging is compostable, and the products themselves do a really nice job to meet my cleaning needs, both of my person, and my possessions. Can't recommend enough.

  • I've been very happy with the Blueland products I've ordered. My favorite is the tin of dishwasher powder. It is convenient as it's premeasured in tiny cakes. It does a great job and keeps plastic out of my dishwasher and septic tank. I've used the foaming hand soap for several years which I really like. I'm also very happy with the toilet cleaner. The spray bottles of window cleaner, bathroom cleaner, and general all purpose cleaner all work really well. I also use the dishwashing powder when washing dishes in the sink. I am a happy customer and have been happy with every item I've tried.

  • Blueland has terrible and borderline rude customer service. They invalidated my experience with one of their products and straight up lied to me about the contents of one of their emails. As for their products, I use the hand soap and all-purpose cleaner because they are plastic free after the initial purchase and I like the tablet model, but the quality is just okay - I just haven't found something better that offers the same environmental considerations. Their version of oxi clean laundry powder caused skin rashes for myself, my partner, and my dog. The dishwasher tablets were okay in my apartment, but wreaked havoc on our dishes and brand new Bosch dishwasher in our house (after two uses there was a film covering all dishes and we had to buy dishwasher cleaning tablets because the new washer itself was so gross/stained). I will say the scrub sponges hold up extremely well for being plastic free, they are my favorite product.

  • Great products, the ones ive used are consistent and love that there is scent free options.

  • We have tried most of the Blueland products. We have not tried the hand dishwashing soap. While love all the actual products quite passionately really, and my adult kids too. And we love the idea of tablet products being a solution to helping the environment where we can. The Blueland containers are terrible. I have found an alternate to the hand soap container for one bathroom (Everspring foaming hand soap dispenser) we still have one of our original 3 dispensers working. We have had to find other bottles for the spray cleaners. So far the body wash and face wash bottles, which don’t spray, are holding their own. When we had a dishwasher, ours caught fire, the dishwasher tablets did a better job than anything else we tried. And no water spots! Not that I’m bothered by water spots, but some people are. The toilet tabs work as advertised and leaving the bathroom smelling fresh. My husband and son love the body wash and keep trying the various scents. But at heart, they are bar soap guys. The face wash was not irritating to my sensitive face, but I’ve only used it as few times. I prefer other products. The laundry tablets are great. I have found that toss them in then load your clothes. For the tough smelling or really dirty loads I use two tabs and that does the trick. We travel with them too! And ye they work in the crappy hotel machines just fine. Yes we are hardcore Blueland fans of the products, just not the spray bottles and pumps. Our workaround is working for now. Let’s do what we all can and reduce our single use plastics reliance. It benefits us all and Mother Earth!

  • The products work quite well. All the replacement tablets do the job. I have not noticed any fall-off in product quality. I've been a client for quite a while, so long I don't remember when I began. I use the laundry tablets the most and they work in cold, warm, and hot. A regular load only requires one tablet. The hand soap is mild but cleans well. The scents are light so they don't "smell up the place". The hand soap bottles are quite sturdy and there are replacement nozzles if needed. The cleaning products are wonderful, very lightly scented, and quite powerful without being caustic. The bathroom cleaner works very well no matter how grimy the tub is! The toilet bowl cleaner might be a tad more useful in older homes if the tablet were meant to go inside the tank, also. All of the bottles are sturdy, although not unbreakable - especially the household cleaning bottles, There are replacement pumps for each type of bottle. A word of caution - read the instructions. If you replace the top while the tablets are dissolving, you'll get leakage from the pumps. The sponges are sturdy although I am not too excited about the "towels". Remember to clean your tools.

  • I love the simplicity of this brand. It's easy to keep a good amount of basic cleaning stuff on hand and so quick to mix up a new batch. The bottles are heavy duty enough to last but also very simple, clean and pretty. Love what they are doing!

  • The dishwasher soap is fantastic and everything is always clear, with no residues. The hand soap is great, but you need a few pumps before you feel you’re really cleaning your hands.

  • Love the products and packaging! Simple but works! Hope they come to CANADA soon!

  • I love the Blueland products and the environmentally friendly packaging/products. The mint hand soap is a favorite of ours!

  • Love a lot: dishwasher tablets, foaming hand soap, laundry tablets, dryer balls. Have yet to try multi surface cleaner. Hand washing dish powder… I’m committed to it because I get that suds aren’t good for the environment and I HATE stuff that is mainly just water and comes in big nasty plastic jugs… but it’s tough to tell when my pots are actually clean. Kind of looks like you just washed your stuff in plain water…

  • I was drawn to Blueland, because I hate waste, and buying plastic bottles. I love the idea of refilling bottles I have again and again. I tried many of the products. I really like the toilet pods, they work great. I also like the dish washing and laundry pods. I just started using the laundry powder for stain cleaning. It seems to work well. I have the set for the solutions. The cleaners are fine, but the nozzles are not great. I also don’t care for the powder dish soap. I guess I like more suds. The scents are all pleasant to me.. I don’t care for subscriptions, and would rather order when products are on sale, as the prices are high. I love the fact that they are not causing any bad effects on the environment, and the minimum packaging.

  • Love the strong sent, and this cleans my toilet, and since I have a small bathroom the lemon sent fills my bathroom. I would highly recommend this product.

  • The cleaners and soaps are good. I wouldn’t say amazing but very good to just have a tablet. So ncie not having tons of bottles to throw away. Their spray bottles are horrible, the original ones kept breaking, then they were very nice and would send me new ones. Now the bottle is much cheaper and not as nice looking as the original and they charge for new sprayers. Which also never work right. Like you spray once and you have to wait 30 seconds for the sprayer to move forward enough to spray again. Just super aggravating when you just want to clean something up. I just don’t get it, I’m willing to buy a good bottle, but they just can’t get one that actually works. Trying to figure out if I should buy another sprayer that probably won’t work or buy a bottle from target? The other thing that makes me not buy as much as I would is the very high shipping cost. And even if you have a subscription you can’t add anything to it. So if I need something I get it via Amazon. And I just don’t as much as I would if I didn’t have to pay so much in shipping.

  • I have been using Blueland foaming hand soap for 5 years and I love this product! I have not bought any other hand soap since purchasing Blueland. I imagine how many plastic bottles just my family alone have saved from landfills! Gorgeous glass bottle for the soap. Makes me feel fancy!!

  • Has my skin feeling silky smooth and smells SO GOOD while not being too strong! The bottle is great and my husband even enjoys using it. So glad to have less waste in an area that has so much plastic.

  • I love the products, but the advertising that Blueland has resorted to lately, is nothing short of fearmongering and spreading misinformation.

  • Fantastic I’ve been loving it.

  • I love the ease of using the products and how environmentally friendly they are. All their ingredients are listed on the biodegradable packaging in full transparency. There are some slight issues such as the laundry tablets breaking into small pieces during transport or the tablets produce a lot of ‘dust’ in the packaging, but that is beyond their control. I do appreciate that their products are now available in stores such as Costco, Safeway, and Fred Meyer to name a few. An issue I have noticed with Blueland, aside from slow shipping, is the quality of the pumps for the hand soaps and cleaning sprays. I notice they stopped functioning properly after a few months’ use. The hand soap pump either doesn’t retract all the way after pushing it down or gets really hard to push down and the cleaning spray pumps get stop retracting too when you squeeze them.
