Clean Cult earns mixed reviews: the cleaners, laundry sheets, and dishwasher pods generally perform well and deliver fresh, sometimes light scents, but recurring dispenser and bottle design flaws frustrate users. Reviews praise eco-friendly, refillable packaging and effective, skin‑friendly formulas, while noting overly strong fragrances for some scents (e.g., Wild Lavender, Juniper Sandalwood) and leaky, sticky “forever” bottles and laundry dispensers that undermine the experience.

I picked up all four scents — Fresh Linen, Free & Clear, Wild Lavender, and Juniper Sandalwood — through a promotion on a local news channel. Fresh Linen and Free & Clear are my favorites. Wild Lavender and Juniper Sandalwood are both a bit too strong for my taste, so if you're sensitive to scent I'd start with the lighter options. I'm a convert to laundry sheets in general — no measuring, no dripping, no giant plastic bottle taking up space. You just toss in and you're done. Much cleaner experience all around. For scent comparison, Clean People's Fresh & Clean is noticeably lighter and more subtle. Clean Cult runs stronger across the board, so keep that in mind if you prefer something understated. One personal tip — I use a little more than the recommended sheet amount to get a light, lasting scent on my clothes. Works perfectly.

I had high hopes for this. I got the multipack for a steal at Costco, but I’ve been somewhat disappointed. The all-purpose cleanser works fine, but the natural scent is a bit off-putting. It’s super strong and honestly smells like I rubbed basil all over my countertops… but not in a good way. On top of that, a couple of the bottles have been leaking, which makes for a messy experience overall. I really wanted to love this, but it just didn’t quite deliver.

I’ve been really impressed with Clean Cult. The products clean effectively while using safer, more thoughtful ingredients, which is so important to me. I love that the packaging is refillable and eco-friendly, it feels good knowing I’m reducing waste with each use. The scents are fresh and not overpowering, and everything from the dish soap to the all-purpose cleaner works exactly how I need it to. Clean Cult has made it easy to switch to a cleaner, healthier home without sacrificing performance.

I got the lemon smell of the all purpose cleaners. These cleaners work great! You can use them on just about anything. And the smell that leaves is amazing! They’re free from harsh chemicals and work just as well as others!

I've tried almost every product from this company, and I've liked every one that I've tried. I've tried both their liquid laundry detergent and their detergent sheets. I like both, but I prefer the sheets because they are overall less messy. Their hand soap is nice as well, but the container does become sticky and gross. I found that both the reusable glass pump and the aluminum bottles themselves get sticky. The dish detergent and all-purpose cleaner work well from my experience as well. I really like that all the scents from this brand smell nice and are not overpowering at all. This is a brand I'd like to buy more from because they really emphasize cutting down plastic waste. I don't think they are perfect, but they are a decent, low-cost option available.

Tried their lemon verbena scented hand soap and really love it. The smell is not overpowering, really fresh and clean smelling. It’s really cool that they provide the ‘forever’ bottle with their hand soap too - have been refilling it over and over.

I loved how thick the laundry strips were you could tell the detergent concentration is high because of the strong smell and the texture of the laundry strips. When I put them in the washer I could immediately see the suds. Afterwards there was no residue on my clothes and did an amazing job cleaning everything! I love the strong but subtle scent of this product it's a must try!

I love the Cleancult brand already. Naturally, I had to try the laundry sheets. Check out how they easily dissolve! This is with cool tap water! You can see how they suds up the water just by dissolving. I really like the light scent. It’s not too strong and it doesn’t irritate my skin. My clothes came out soft, smelling clean and without stains.


If I could give this brand more than 5 stars I would! I absolutely love the laundry sheets. They are so easy to use and work really well. I also like the eco friendly packaging. I have tried the hand soap, dish soap, cleaning spray, and laundry detergent. Everything works well and smells amazing!

I honestly love this brand because it’s very eco-friendly. I just wish they had more products but overall they’re pretty good and I like the fact that technically I’m making my own dish soap or cleaning solution. also love their detergent

I really like this brand! Like a lot of people, I'm trying to cut plastic waste out of my life and also to lean into more sustainable products overall. Their bottles, pumps, and containers are all incredibly chic and very high-quality. The dishwasher pods are also fantastic!

I'd like to see more products with no scent. The scent drives me insane, especially in clean products.
What a cool brand to be more eco-friendly. I like the look of the packaging. It works well too. The laundry soap seemed pricey but it was a concentrate so good deal, also made my clothes smell better than ever.
I purchased the lavender refill soap for my bathroom. It smells wonderful after washing hands but it is not too strong at the same time. I noticed it does not dry out my hands. I love the clean ingredients and it was a great value for the price.
I love the products. I love that they are packaged in cardboard boxes. However, it's difficult to find the products in stores and the prices on Amazon vary wildly. Secondly, the glass bottles while are great in theory, collect water in the silicone base and get gross. I've also had a few of the pumps stop working on me so I no longer buy the bottles.
I love using the multipurpose cleaner from this brand. I always feel like other cleaning brands have an awfully chemically smell that gets left behind on my surfaces.. whereas I never feel this way with Clean Cult.

It's been about 3 years with Cleancult and I will most likely not be switching anytime soon. They have a couple of scents that I absolutely LOVE and I've had a good experience with them as cleaning products so far. I regularly use the following products: -Dishwashing liquid -Hand soap -Laundry detergent -Dishwasher pods -All Purpose Cleaner -Bar soap Pros: Like most people starting with the brand, I was looking for a way to streamline my cleaning products into an eco-friendly solution by cutting plastic waste and using less toxic chemicals. I believe this brand fits those needs for me. Even the the caps on the refill cartons are plant-based which is nice. For me, all the products work well, clean my home, and foam up nicely. The subscription is really easy - I can adjust it whenever I need to and have never had a problem with it. Cons: I HATE their reusable jars/dispensers/spray bottles ect. Literally every single one of them has an issue all it's own. The hand soap and dishwashing dispensers constantly leak down the sides. The laundry detergent bottle leaks unless you meticulously clean the cap after using it. The spray bottles turn around while you are using it and starts to leak down the side. I love the products so much that I am just systematically replacing my Cleancult containers with other reusable ones that I find along the way. But cannot stress enough how badly they need to redesign their containers! The biodegradable plastic that holds dishwashing pods every so often does not dissolve and I end up with a glob of product that didn't really do its job, so I have started removing the casing before using putting in the dishwasher - even though they say you don't have to. The refill containers are hit or miss for me. Sometimes it is really hard to get them open and they end up being kind of messy. All that complaining aside however, I still really love the cleaning solutions themselves, and constantly recommend the brand to friends and family. Hopefully the company will work to fix the minor issues listed above to keep them competitive in the market :)

I have bought many products from this company and loved the product. However I recently bought their refills straight from the company and they arrived both cartons busted and liquid in a bag. I’ve emailed customer support three times with no reply and called with no answer. As it stands I have two busted cartons and money down the drain.

I have the dish soap dispenser and the laundry detergent dispenser. I like the dish soap dispenser, it held up well and can withstand thick Dawn; it's lasted about 3 years now. I think the silicon foot is a problem as there's no way to remove it (easily) and I'm sure it's gross in there with water getting in over the past few years. I really wanted to like the laundry dispenser, but it leaks every single time, there's something wrong with how the cap and pour spout are constructed and it's impossible to not have it leak everywhere and make a mess.

Packaging can be finicky, though I generally expect that from fully recyclable stuff. Products themselves are awesome - the laundry detergent is a particular favorite; it doesn't bother my sensitive skin, including the scented versions. The all-purpose cleaner is likewise great; I use it to clean my entire kitchen. Dishwasher tabs are also effective and rinse cleanly.

I’ve only used half a container and I don’t enjoy using this soap. I live in Vancouver Canada and we have very soft water. I can’t get any foam and it doesn’t clean very well. I have to put it in the water and also add more, to a washcloth, when I’m doing my pots and pans to get grease and oils off. I definitely won’t buy this product again. Maybe it’s just a “bad lot” but I’m not going to chance it. It cleans, but barely. 👎🏻👎🏻
