Buyers4.4157 ratings

Owners love the eco-friendly packaging and gentle formula for sensitive skin, but cleaning effectiveness and high price divide them sharply.

Brand claims2/5 true5 promises checked

Blueland's marketing is honest about eco-friendly packaging and gentle formulation for sensitive skin, both strongly supported by owner ratings. However, the pitch materially overstates cleaning power—enzyme claims clash with a 2.5/5 effectiveness score—and the "42 loads" claim is undermined by poor real-world cleaning performance that limits actual usable loads.

Buyers' lowest-rated aspect—cleaning effectiveness—directly echoes critics' concern that the tablets don't clean clothes well enough.

In their words

I was getting so tired of being so wasteful, rinsing out laundry detergent bottles and hoping that they would actually get recycled. The Blueland laundry detergent tablets are easy to use, they clean well and there is absolutely no smell on the unscented option. We have very sensitive skin and we have had no issues since switching.

GMBK · verified purchase · shop.app

Do not waste your time or money with this product! I bought a couple packs on sale and they were horrible! They don’t actually sud up or clean your clothes. I’ve ran so many loads of laundry with these and my clothes still smell so bad. It’s been rough because we don’t know which clothes haven’t been washed properly until you put them on and realize they’re actually not clean. Would not recommend!

Number of Loads42 loadsMixed
What the data shows

SafetyFree from harmful chemicalsMixed
What the data shows

While owners rate gentleness and skin sensitivity at 4.5/5, the claim of being 'free from harmful chemicals' is not explicitly verified in the review data, which only confirms the product is gentle.
