In-Depth Review
Redefining Modern Cleaning
Blueland has disrupted the cleaning industry by questioning why we ship water—which makes up 90% of traditional cleaners—across the country in single-use plastic bottles. Their Multi-Surface Starter Set provides consumers with a heavy-duty, reusable shatterproof bottle and concentrated tablets that dissolve in tap water. This approach significantly reduces the carbon footprint associated with shipping weight and eliminates the need for virgin plastic production.
Formulated for Safety and Efficacy
The tablets are formulated without VOCs, parabens, phosphates, or phthalates, making them a safer choice for households with children and pets. The Multi-Surface formula specifically targets grease and grime on counters, stone, and wood without leaving a sticky residue. While many eco-friendly cleaners struggle with performance, Blueland’s formula is independently tested to perform as well as or better than leading conventional brands.
How It Works
- Fill: Add warm water to the fill line of your Forever Bottle.
- Drop: Drop in one cleaning tablet.
- Clean: Once dissolved, you are ready to clean any hard surface.
