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.

  • Love the concept and easy refills. Not the most powerful cleaner but perfect for regular upkeep

  • I've tried their soap, toilet cleaner tablets, bathroom spray, and recently their dishwasher tablets. The handsome itself is wonderful, great classic scents and the seasonal evergreen is my fav! Wish they'd make a stronger version for use in the kitchen to help cut greasy/dirty hands. The pumps for the soap however are awful. They stop working way too quickly and should last several years, but don't. I've even tried taking them apart to fix the plunging issue (they stop being able to be pressed down) without much luck. The toilet cleaner tablets have a nice gentle scent and work good for in-between deeper cleanings. They don't work on hard water or rust stains so they won't replace other cleaners... The bathroom spray works good not the best not the cheapest either. Too expensive for what it is. Just like the handsoap pump, the spray bottle isn't the best. The spray trigger/lever is too small and makes for an uncomfortable and awkward grip. The dishwasher tablets work great. They will be replacing my plastic covered tablets. Just be sure your dishes are food-free though. Won't work as great if they weren't pre-rinsed. Overall love what Blueland is trying to achieve just wish they would revamp and fix the issues and longevity of their bottles.

  • The toliet bowl cleaner I loved although is kinda pricey. I for sure want to try their other products because I loved this one so much!

  • I love the ethos of this company in minimizing waste. I currently use the laundry pods and find them a great cost effective and high quality product!

  • Great Concept

    I love the concept of this product. I am trying to switch all my products to more eco-friendly options and also reduce my waste. This accomplishes both.

  • Innovative hand soap concept! Simple to use and create soap from two ingredients. The reusable glass bottle is a plus!

  • At first I didn’t think I was going to happy because it was shooting just straight water out of the pumps. Then after a few pumps it started foaming nicely every time. The smell of all of the samples is amazing but the pacific mist is a personal favorite. I don’t like strong smells but this is just enough to give you some but not be overwhelming. The bottles are really good quality and also look very nice. We went with the gray and it fits perfectly in our guest bathroom aesthetic. Definitely plan to continue to buy refills and eventually replace more around our house

  • I have been on mission to find a natural hand soap refill option that smells good, lathers and cleans my hands well and that reduces the unnecessary plastic waste. This hand soap starter kit by Blueland is amazing and does just that! The smell is so fresh and pleasant, the directions to make and use are very easy and the bottle dispenses well. Best of all, a little bit of this soap goes a long way. Although a tad pricey I think this is a great natural option for my skin and a great option for the planet as well!

  • Love all Blueland products! Great for the planet and great for the home. The dish soap + hand soap are my faves! Sponges are also lovely. Included refill tablets makes everything a whole lot easier!

  • I recently bought the Hand Soap Duo from Blueland and I am so happy that I did! I love how the soap dispenser is made out of glass rather than plastic. I also really like how quick and easy it is to make the soap. Lastly, I like how I can use tablets to make the soap instead of always buying new hand soap refill bottles. I definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for an environmentally friendly alternative for hand soap.

  • I order Blueland from Costco and Thrive Market. I love their toilet cleaners and dishwasher pods and buy them consistently. Love the mission and sustainability the most!

  • I've been using Blueland for years and love all of their products. Especially enjoy the seasonal hand soap refills. I also like the laundry detergent and dryer sheets. Not overly scented like other similar products.

  • Tablets take a long time to dissolve, bottles broke, and didn't seem to clean that effectively. Interesting concept though.

  • I wanted to love these product based on the brands mission but overall I was disappointed. The smells of the cleaner IMO are terrible, they’re very fake smelling and the hand soap dries out my hands if I wash my hands consistently as a person does.. The dishwasher detergent made my dishes SO cloudy but we have hard water. I do actually love the glass foaming soap dispensers though.

  • Big fan of their toilet cleaner - it smells like Pez and works so well! I also love the sustainability and simplicity of this company.

  • Love the hand soaps. Great when you have kids since the bubbles coat well and are visible. But most importantly they wash off well.

  • I tried Blueland when they first came out and I thought the novelty of adding a tablet to a bottle of water for cleaning products. I really loved the bottles and how they were color-coded. Within two weeks, I accidentally bumped the bottom of one the bottles and it cracked. The next bottle lasted a few more weeks before I gave up on using the tablets. I loved the hand soap and if I actually thought about it, I would buy it again. I would not buy the kit again. Maybe it's petty, but I was so disappointed with my experience that I won't go back.

  • We've been using Blueland for 2-3 years now and overall are really happy with the products! I first bought it in an attempt to reduce single-use plastic waste for hand soap and cleaning products and we've largely been really successful at that through Blueland. The cleaning sprays also seem to be really effective at cleaning!

    Feedback

    The hand soap pumps were a bit finnicky at first and we had to get them replaced, which Blueland was pretty helpful with. I find the white pumps show dirt pretty easily so they can end up looking a little dirty, and I wish they had more attractive containers for the hand soap as those are often in public places like our guest bathroom and kitchen sink. I don't care about aesthetics so much for the cleaning supplies. The cleaning spray bottle pumps also tended to get stuck when you sprayed them but it seems to have gotten better over time.

  • I enjoyed using Blueland's cleaning products for a few months until one of the bottles randomly cracked (without me dropping it or anything). It was sitting in my kitchen cabinet and when I went to grab it, I noticed the cleaning solution was everywhere. It made a huge mess. I reached out to customer service and they happily replaced it, however the same exact thing happened only after a few weeks of using new bottle. I'm left to believe that the materials are defective. Additionally, the cleaning pods seem to expire if you don't use them right away. I had a few in my cabinet for 2 months and when I added them to water, they never dissolved and instead stayed in a hardened state. They sent me replacements that did the same thing after being stored for a few months.

    I'd only recommend if you clean A LOT and can go through the pods fast enough before they go bad.

  • I love the idea of this, but in trying the hand soap and the laundry tablets, I didn't feel like either product worked very well - they were just ok. I followed the directions for the hand soap and it just feels too watery, like I need to wash my hands more than once with it to actually feel clean (this was especially annoying during covid).
