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.

  • The product leaves dishes foggy and filmy. The company keeps shipping and charging after you cancel order. They are extremely expensive.

    Feedback

    The product. The customer service. Everything. I wanted to use them because they appeared to be environmentally friendly but they are solely profit driven and willing to sacrifice ethical practices to do so.

  • I love the idea of this stuff. I debated between Blueland and Branch Basics so I decided to buy the trial pack of both. I wanted to like Blueland more because of the little pods and their paper packaging, but everything was just okay. The multipurpose cleaner was okay but nothing special. I found I had to use more of it than I would expect. The bathroom cleaner was slightly stronger so I found myself using that instead of the multipurpose cleaner. That ended up stopping because the bottle broke and took forever for the trigger to rebound so it doubled the cleaning time. Plus I wasn't a fan of the smell of the cleaners. The hand soap dispenser didn't seem to work well either and I had to use 3 pumps to feel like my hands were clean. Overall , I'm disappointed. It works okay, but I don't want to make cleaning any harder. I've been really happy with Branch Basics. Less plastic than normal cleaners and it actually makes cleaning easier.

  • I've been using the Blueland products for over six months, and probably won't continue to re-order. The spray bottles are really difficult to use--they get clogged, and have sticky handles, which defeats the whole purpose of re-usable bottles. The cleaning products themselves are just okay--the bathroom cleaner is somewhat ineffective, as are the toilet tabs. The multi-surface cleaner would work fine, except for the faulty spray bottle. I may continue to use the laundry tabs, as they seem to do the job, and only occassionally they have failed to dissolve.

    Feedback

    The design of the spray bottles is the biggest problem. If they don't work, I have to buy other bottles, which defeats the whole idea. When I complained to customer service about the defective spray bottles, they tried to tell me I had filled the bottles wrong, and wanted me to send a video to describe the problem. Not something I could really capture in a video.

  • I wanted to love Blue land but it underperforms. The idea of reusable containers and minimal plastic is awesome. But the spray cleaners have limited effectiveness against grease, the dishwasher tabs leave my dishes dirty, and since using the laundry tabs, all my clothes and towels smell sour.

    Feedback

    Great concept but don't work.

  • Let me start by saying that I love the mission and the idea of a cleaner planet. I wanted to support Blueland so badly..... I am absolutely appalled by my terrible experience. I have spent over $375 on Blueland products that I will never receive because their website would not let me change my address. I emailed customer service and asked them to assist me in the update, just for them to point the finger at me and my errors and issue no refund or even ship a new package to my actual address. I notified the customer service respondent Mckenzie of my concerns and she said that she would not refund me even though I never received my items. Blueland quite literally didn't care that I needed assistance and stole my money. I had to cancel my subscription...

    Feedback

    I would not go with Blueland....I am sure there any many options out there. But if there is ever an issue with your order, do not expect support.... :(

  • I have only tried the hand soap and toilet cleaners. Hand soap was too watery and the dispenser, not the glass, broke halfway through 1st refill, so had to use non brand dispenser. Not sure if the toilet cleaner is working how it supposed to, but still had to scrub like a regular cleaning. Will have to try other options for now.

  • I like the idea of saving the environment. I like that the product works. But I ordered a two-pack dispenser and the pumps both gave out before half the product was gone. To be cautious, I ordered one more pump. That also stopped working at the same point. At this point I am not saving the environment since I have tossed 3 plastic pumps. I give up and will move on to another company.

  • Smell great, but the pumps don't work. They send replacement pumps for free for 90 days (there is a reason they do that), but my first two replacement pumps quit working within a few weeks and I don't have time to keep requesting replacement pumps. I've given up on Blueland.

    Feedback

    Pumps that work would make me give a five star. The beautiful, expensive, glass bottles are worthless without pumps that work.

  • The spray bottle nozzles are flimsy, cleaners, laundry and dish soap are subpar, and customer service non-existent.

    Feedback

    I’ve been trying to cancel my subscription for months but they keep refilling and charging me for it. Their website won’t let me reset my password to try to edit my subscription and customer service is unresponsive. I thought this would simplify my life but instead it’s filling my home with subpar cleaning materials that a need to supplement with supplies from the store anyway. All the thumbs down.

  • Terrible customer service. I purchased over $200 worth of products and they did not accommodate a discount that would probably just have been $5 less than the price I was going to pay. Average hand soap. Doesn’t lather well or smell very nice.

    Feedback

    The hand soap could use improvement but above all, the lack of appreciation for customers was offensive.

  • I love being able to stock up on cleaning products without them taking up so much space. The initial investment is a sizable chunk, but still not terrible, and truly worth it in the long run. The spray cleaners and foaming hand soap do their job well. I wasn't the biggest fan of the laundry products as the tablets never dissolved fully, but the short cycles on my washing machine could be to blame. Their customer service was really great when my plastic bottles cracked and sprayer stopped working.

    Feedback

    I wish the bottles were glass and the sprayer tops were better quality! My plastic bottles broke within a year. Thankfully, customer service sent me an entirely new starter set right away and I sent my old bottles back to them to recycle.

  • My review is specific to the refillable hand soap - I bought the hand soap starter kit in March of 2020 and I’ve been loyal to it ever sense. I love the texture of the foam, the ease of refills, and the scent of the lemon option. The refills last so long, and it feels good to know that I’m no longer throwing away empty plastic hand soap bottles every month.

    Feedback

    Lemon scent is the best in my opinion; I wasn’t a huge fan of the lavender and eucalyptus options

  • Love their mission, but a lot of the products don't deliver. I really like their dish soap and hand soap.

    Feedback

    Laundry pods don't dissolve and dishwasher pods don't clean dishes. Also, really disappointed that the sprays are all plastic.

  • I've been using BlueLand for about 6 months now and I really like their cleaning products. I purchased the three cleaner spray bottles: multipurpose, glass+mirror, and bathroom. I use the multipurpose cleaner on everything and it works so well! Doesn't leave any sort of residue or streaking. The bathroom cleaner is equally great and has a nice smell to it. The bottles are very sturdy and excellent quality.

    Feedback

    I took off one star because I wish there was the option to buy a replacement bottle/spray nozzle on their website. I accidentally stepped on my multipurpose nozzle and it no longer works, so I really wish I was able to replace it on their site without buying an entire new kit.

  • Great brand. Obviously a trailblazer in reducing single use plastics but also really quality products. I have and use the dishwasher tabs, hand soaps, multiuse cleaner and bathroom cleaner. They’re all great.

  • I really want to love this brand because I wanted to find a sustainable cleaning brand that I can rely on and stick to, but there are a few major flaws with Blueland products that I hope they will fix. First off, their spray bottles have a parting line that causes the spray bottle to break off after some time. 2 of my 3 bottles have broken at the same spot. I think to truly be a sustainable brand, the quality of the reusable products really needs to be built to last! Or else what is the point??? I like their formulas for the cleaning agents but I think it's not "powerful" enough for all your cleaning needs. I can use my Blueland cleaning stuff for an everyday wipe down but I still need to buy bleach and antiviral wipes as a supplement for harder to clean areas. I kind of end up with just more stuff at the end.

    Feedback

    Quality of bottles can be much better. Design can also be improved. Can use a more powerful cleaner that can easily clean up mold and mildew. Maybe a pet spray (for cleaning urine) could be a good next product.

  • Blueland was fairly early to the sustainable cleaning product launch. I was excited to try something new that didn't require me to hand mix a lot of cleaning products (plus buying more plastic in order to achieve). I love the compostable packaging and small replenishment product formats.

    Feedback

    I was early to order this but have experienced multiple issues: -If truly being sustainable, bottles should be glass or aluminum, not plastic. I have had multiple glass cleaner bottles develop cracks without ever having dropped -Powdered tablets never seem to fully dissolve and clog sprayer -Glass + Mirror spray has always left streaks for me

  • LOVE this brand. the soaps smell good and i am obsessed with the dishwashing detergent pods (and their lack of microplastics). only thing i'd not rec is the dish soap -- it's just a powder and i feel like it's not very effective. everything else, however, is great. make sure to buy their soap dispenser, or one that's capable of pumping foaming soap, since their product is a foam and not a gel!

    Feedback

    the dish soap! not a fan
