We’re frequently on the lookout for earth-conscious cleaning supplies (for some of our findings, see 13 Favorite All-Purpose Cleaners, Eco Edition). The latest we like? Blueland, which offers household cleaners and laundry supplies and reusable glass and tin containers. Their mission: to eliminate plastic waste and to “make it easy to be eco” with products that are “convenient, effective, and affordable,” as founder Sarah Paiji Yoo writes on the company’s site.
All of the packaging is recyclable or compostable; the vegan formulas Leaping Bunny and EPA Safer Choice certified; and the company has been climate neutral since 2020. Once you’re ready for a replenishment (or if you already have a container of your own to repurpose), Blueland offers inexpensive refill packs in compostable paper pouches. The best part: Many of their cleaning solutions come in tiny tablet form; just add water, and you’re ready to go.
Take a look:
Above: The Laundry Essentials Kit ($44) features 40 plastic-free laundry detergent tablets (no washing plastic bits down the drain, the company notes), 500 grams of the Oxi Laundry Booster, a reusable tin for each, and three dryer balls made from New Zealand wool. Above: The Laundry Starter Set ($18) includes the laundry tablets and a reusable storage tin; just add one tablet per load. Above: The Oxi Laundry Booster Starter Pack ($18). The lid of the tin doubles as an easy measure. Above: The Multi-Surface Cleaner Starter Set ($16) is one of Blueland’s three household cleaning sprays (they also offer Bathroom and Glass + Mirror solutions). Each set comes with three plastic-free tablets and a reusable, BPA-free glass “forever” spray bottle, meant to replace the thirty disposable plastic cleaning bottles the average home goes through each year, according to Blueland. Fill the bottle with water, add a tablet, and spray—no shaking or stirring needed. Above: Have your own spray bottle? Blueland also sells their solutions without the container. These are the Glass + Mirror Refill Packs wrapped in compostable paper; mixed with water, each tablet makes 24 ounces of cleaner. A six-pack is $15. Above: The Toilet Cleaner Starter Set ($20) includes a storage tin and 14 plastic-free, foaming toilet cleaner tabs (the first of their kind in the US, according to Blueland). Each tab is scented with essential oils and is bleach- and dye-free. Above: The Dishwasher Starter Set ($18), also plastic-free with a reusable labeled tin. Above: Also available: Dishwasher Tablet Refill Packs ($14), each with 40 plastic-free dishwasher tabs.
