BLUELAND DISH DUO REVIEW// Is it Worth it?? // Zero Waste Dish Soap + Dishwasher Tablets

I reviewed Blueland's new Dish Duo which includes dish soap and dishwasher tablets. This is a great zero waste option for cleaning dishes. Blueland is a zero waste + carbon neutral cleaning company. I don't like DIY cleaning products so it has been great to find a low waste and eco-friendly cleaning company that makes all the products that you need. I purchased these about a month ago and have been slowly trying them out. The dish soap has a silicone bottle. The dishwasher tablets have a metal tin. They have refills in a paper bag that you can compost. Yes, they have compostable packaging. But, do they work?? That'll get answered in the video. :) Blueland dish products are great for a plastic free kitchen.
Thanks for watching! ❤Kristen

Hi! I'm Kristen. On my channel, Strolling Through Life, I talk about eco-conscious living. Zero waste is great, but it's not realistic to reach that level of perfection (for most people). I try to make eco-friendly/ sustainable living more simple with easy swaps and tips. Living sustainably isn't just about reducing your plastic consumption.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Have you tried Blueland's new dish soap and dishwasher tablets???

[@hulaprincess626]

Is there an update regarding the tin?

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Alessandra Hinojosa The tin is holding up fine thus far. We probably wouldn’t see wear (if there is any) until much later down the road 😊

[@ruthkamholtz5511]

I love the dish soap so far. I was going to get the dishwasher tablets but they are even more expensive then the cascade platinum that I use now. Wasn't worth it to me with as much as we use our dishwasher.

[@rosalie.e.morgan]

Tried and really like the dishwasher tabs. Loved that it's unscented, and didn't have a PVA coating. Found it worked better than the finish tabs we had been using. Opted to try some other cleaning products from Meloria and The Unscented Company, not sure how I feel about those yet because we just got them.

[@NaturallyMermaid]

Totally agree that so many "green" dish soaps are weak sauce. Good to know that Blueland is heavy duty!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Naturally Mermaid Yes!! I think the grittiness of it helps (although it does dissolve). The first ingredient is baking soda, so maybe that’s the key? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@kayseacamp]

I honestly think the purpose of the shaker being silicone is so that it’s slip resistant since you’ll be using it with wet hands.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Kasandra Campbell Yes! I definitely understand why silicone was a good option. I just think a lot of people have something around the house that they could probably use instead. But it is a cute design! 😊

[@greenbirdsings]

Your original review of blueland cleaning products inspired me to purchase them. So happy i did because I love the hand soap and all purpose cleaner. I didnt end up buying the bottles, though they are very pretty i just ended up using the tablets to refill old plastic containers i already had at the house. I am so excited to try the dish soap!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Crystal Awesome! I’m so glad they worked out for you! Yes, using your own bottles is a great option!! I’d love to hear your thoughts on the dish soap once you try it out! Thanks so much for watching!! 😊

[@yupperz6494]

I like that you don't have to buy the bottles. I have bottles and various containers from other products I've collected over time. It's nice to be able to repurpose them for these products.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Yupperz I agree! It’s great that you can just refill the bottles and containers you already have! 😊

[@sarahhp2337]

Don't forget to leave the desiccant with your products as you transfer it into the Forever Shaker or Forever Tin, so that it can continue absorbing any moisture.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Great tip!!

[@nisha-ve3dj]

FOR THAT THEY CAN DO THE SAME THING AS OTHER BOTTLES GLASS AND SILICONE SLEEVES

[@jamiem2444]

I liked the tip about the nutritional yeast shaker. As a matter of fact, I was thinking that I would probably just keep my current cascade container, and buy the refill tablets. I don't care if it's cute if it's out of sight 🤷‍♀️

[@mattheweanfeldman]

I really like the dish soap. A lot of the bar soaps leave a film, which this doesn't. I agree that it works the best of any soap that I have tried

[@StrollingThroughLife]

matthew feldman That’s great that it has been working for you! Yeah, I was actually surprised by how much I liked it! 😊

[@SheaElizabeth]

Loved the video! I really appreciate you're videos and the fact that you take the time to actually use the products on the day to day before posting. Still contemplating the dish soap because of the price point plus we've had no issues with the bar soap we've been using. If I do grab it I will definitely take up your advice about the nutritional yeast shaker; I thought that was brilliant. Definitely, going to grab the dishwasher tablets after seeing your review. Hoping to see a blueland laundry tab video in the future 🤞 Keep up the good work!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Shea Thanks so much!! I’m glad they’re helpful! It is a little pricey for sure. The nutritional yeast bottle would be perfect for it!! You will be seeing a laundry tablet video soon! 😊 Thanks so much for the support! It means a lot! 💛🌏

[@gracelovesbooks]

I love the dish soap! It’s lasted me so long compared to traditional liquid dish soaps! I just hate that it burns my nose lol

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Grace Baga Yay!! I’m so glad you’re liking it! It’s definitely a good one! Lol I’m not a fan of emptying the packet into the bottle.

[@karengotting6214]

And makes me cough. No matter how careful I am the particulates are in the air.

[@richardpalumbo376]

are you still finding it to last a long time? I feel I am going through it quickly and it is not cheap at all.

[@willvelasco5024]

this was literally the info i was looking for. and why doesn’t your channel have more views?? your editing and delivery is great. also, is anna duggar your sister? you could pass as her twin -_-

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Will Velasco Great!! Thanks! I hope I can keep growing! 🤞 Lol that’s the first time I’ve been told that...

[@cherylcarlies8484]

I love the packaging and have had no issues with any bottles. The products will last as long as you keep the moisture absorbing pack inside all packaging. So far so good with use of actual product.

[@runaway21]

I had to return this because the powder made everyone in the kitchen cough like crazy. Blueland however was super nice and offered me a refund, no questions asked.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Oh no! I totally understand. Anything made of powder always gets in the air, which is very annoying! I’m glad you got a refund! 😊

[@TrishLee]

I haven't tried Blueland before and it seems a great choice for a dish soap. Your review is awesome. I think I must try Blueland now. Keep up the awesome reviews. 😊

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Trish Lee Yes, their dish soap is my favorite! Thanks so much for watching! 😊

[@TrishLee]

@@StrollingThroughLife You're most welcome ❤️

[@gw8111]

Key point is at 2:20. When you pour the powdered dish detergent into the silicone container, you coughed. I’ve had this experience also and not just when filling the container but EVERY time I sprinkle some powder on my scrub pad. I can tell immediately that my breathing is impacted and I am really uncomfortable with that. I like the non-plastic approach but my lungs come first. Use at your own discretion; this is just my experience.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Yes! With any powder, you do have to be careful. It’s not good to breathe it in. I wish there was a solution. Thanks for watching!

[@clarissathomas1872]

I was in the same boat. I loved how well the dish soap worked, but I coughed every time I poured it. Even went as far as trying to wear a mask. No bueno for COVID survivors or those with asthma IMO. But if you can handle it, it works really well.

[@gw8111]

@@clarissathomas1872 I went with Clean Cult instead. They have liquid dish soap that ships in heavy duty cardboard container. And you can get a glass dispenser. Better product if you are concerned about the respiratory issue.

[@clarissathomas1872]

@@gw8111 yes! I'm going to try that next! I just ordered it and though I'd give it a try. How did you like it compared to Blueland? Worth it?

[@gw8111]

@@clarissathomas1872 I've been using the liquid dish soap from CleanCult for a few weeks and it works well! I don't have any breathing issues, since there is no powder. This is what I'll stick with for the foreseeable future.

[@MomijiFAndres]

I wqs waiting for your review of the dish soap!! I think I'll bite the bullet and try it out!! Thank you for the video!!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Momiji Andres Awesome! Definitely use what works best for you! It is a bit pricey. 😬 Thanks for waiting on my video review! I’d love to hear your thoughts on the soap once you get it!

[@MomijiFAndres]

@@StrollingThroughLife I just got the dish soap and I'm excited to try it! Since you used it on your sink, I might put it in the grout of the corners of my shower and see what happens with that because the bathroom cleaner did not cut it for me and I went through it super fast (and my bottle broke as well)

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Momiji Andres Awesome! That’s a great idea! I might need to try to clean my grout with it, too! 😊 Ugh, and that’s so frustrating that your bottle broke...

[@MomijiFAndres]

@@StrollingThroughLife I've been using the dish soap for about a month now and I like it for if I'm using a sponge.. but the powder really doesn't like dish brushes and I have more dish brushes then sponges but I guess I'll have to try the Marleys Monster dish sponges when my current sponge wears out

[@956lizz]

I haven’t tried the powder but I like the dishwasher tablets! I add vinegar to the rinse aid compartment to have my dishes spotless

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Elizabeth Gonzalez Ohhhh I haven’t heard of adding vinegar to the rinse aid. I’ll have to give that a try with the tablets! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@aubra_dash]

Thusfar I've been having a ton of fun making my own with Sal's Suds. The ratio of soap concentrate to water makes it very... Watery lol. But! Nothing a foaming pump can't fix ☺️ it's tough and green! And smells like pine! I've had mixed reviews with blue land too. I didn't care for their bottles/the scent and functionality of their cleaners.

[@aubra_dash]

My own dish soap***

[@StrollingThroughLife]

That’s awesome! If it works, it works!! 👏

[@anjanagupta4892]

oh my god my pink bottle also broke in the exact same spot! I had no idea it was something that other people deal with too. Also, my dish soap lasts a lot longer because I sprinkle it onto the sponge rather than directly onto the dishes (unless maybe I'm washing a big pan), and it lasts a long time! I'm able to clean a bunch of dishes with one sprinkle onto the sponge. Maybe that'll help yours last longer!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Oh no!! I’m sorry that happened to you, too! They have new bottles now (without the full line/ seam), so hopefully no one else will have our shared experience! That’s a great idea! I think using it on each dish was definitely making me go through it faster. Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!! 😊

[@JexxBlack]

I have the powder and I like it. Are you gonna try the laundry tablets? Would love to see a review from you!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Jexx Black That’s great! Yes, I’ll be making the review soon! 😊

[@richardpalumbo376]

Are you still using the Blue Land dish powder, which you said you liked. I find that I go through it quickly and it the one blue land product that seems expensive. What do you think?

[@JexxBlack]

@@richardpalumbo376 I no longer use it. Went through it too quickly for the price and now with having animals, I don’t want them to get into it, so I stopped

[@nisha-ve3dj]

BECAUSE IF WE USE BAKING SODA WITH REGULAR DISH LIQUID ALSO SAME THING WILL HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE POWDER TEXTURE IT WILL HELP SCRUBING MORE EFFORTLESSLY

[@crystalmoon641]

Totally agree. I have had to replace 3 bottles this past year. The company did refund me one bottle that I purchased to replace a broken one. If anymore bottles crack or break I might have to try another brand.

[@helenmorrell2717]

The bottles have changed and are all one piece now. And they are softer and not the hard acrylic that I got in my first order. I did have a problem in my first order and they replaced it no problem and I recycled it. And I just ordered another set of three partly because I’m always losing one and partly because I want to take some to camp and the bottles are different, still I think acrylic or some kind of heavy duty material but there is some give now and they’re all in one piece. The bottles are still color-coded.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Yes! I recently saw their new bottles. I’m so glad they changed them! I’d love to give them a try. Hopefully, the new bottles do the trick! Thanks for sharing!!

[@carolinahodgson4053]

How would you compare Blueland's dish soap to Cleancult's? I'm struggling to decide which to buy, I bought a dish soap bar but my mom doesn't like it so now I'm trying to find a replacement for that.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

carolina hodgson Cleancult is most like a conventional dish soap. I do really like both. Blueland has more grit to it with the powder, so I’ve noticed it clean pretty well. It’s tough to choose between the two. I’d say, the easiest swap for someone who likes the conventional dish soap is The Cleancult dish soap (just because it is a liquid). I hope that helps! Let me know if you have other questions! 😊

[@quackerzsis99]

I use the powder my bathroom cleaner for my sink, tub, and toilet

[@isabellenez-tovar803]

The dishwasher tablet did not dissolve totally … any idea why?

[@rmps4229]

Video quality is great. 🙂

[@StrollingThroughLife]

RMPS Thank you!

[@Kidsgottalent765]

Why are you not supposed to put Pyrex in the dishwasher?

[@StrollingThroughLife]

It ruins the coating on vintage pyrex over time

[@ashwitapalekar8223]

umm try washing your dishes with less liquid while cleaning them. Try using the product on wet utensils and then go in with the soap, dust/sprinkle the powder on top of the utensil, soak your cleaning sponge with water and then scrub the area...the detergent is more effective when you don't dilute the soap with a lot of water like when you were scrubbing the bowl with a lot of liquid in it.

[@thing4100]

is the dish soap shaker squishy at all? like malleable in any way? or hard like plastic?

[@StrollingThroughLife]

vicki c It is a stiff silicone but it does have some flexibility. I wouldn’t necessarily call it squishy. I hope that makes sense!

[@richardpalumbo376]

I am addressing this comment to Kristian (sp?) the author of the post. Have you continued to use the Blue Land dish soap (the power, not the dishwasher tablets)? I feel like I go through it fairly quickly and unlike the other products that seem fairly affordable, the dish washing powder seems expensive? What do you think?

[@jenniferperkins105]

I tried the dish powder pod things. Loved the little blue container but didn’t like the pods because my hands r always wet when I load the dishwasher. Also my dishes were not that clean! I found bits of food and soap scum on them. AND I can’t return it because u can only return unused products. This is terrible. If a product doesn’t work u should be able to return it

[@FannyHalimCorp]

Omg that happen to me tooo.. the bottle split without no clear reason.

[@jamiem2444]

Great video. Subbing!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

I’m glad you liked it! Thanks so much!! And thanks for watching!

[@DingoAteMeBaby]

They need to literally come out with a pez dispenser

[@maggiesauer4435]

I don’t care for the sprayer for the bottles.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Unfortunately, I've had a lot of people tell me they're having problems with the sprayers, too

[@KayleighJ100]

I hate the tablets. Hate them. Tried it twice - both times my dishes came out dirty and streaky. Tossed the rest of the lot.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Kayleigh J. That’s a bummer! Maybe my dishwasher helped in them working for me?

[@KayleighJ100]

Strolling Through Life Maybe! My dishwasher is fairly new and I’ve never had dishes come out dirty like these did. It was a real bummer. Fortunately I do like the Clean Cult tabs and I just ordered Dropps to try. I am glad you had better luck with them than me! Hopefully I’m an outlier. I should have also said, to be positive, that I DO really like the dish soap. I had the same gripes about the bottle as you did but now I think it’s cute. I keep it under the sink so no worry about it knocking over - and I also think I am using WAY too much because I’m going through it fast.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Kayleigh J. I hope it doesn’t happen for too many people! I know sometimes with laundry detergents people will have different results because of their washing machine, so hopefully that’s the case here. But that’s still a bummer that they didn’t work for you! Yay! I’m glad you’re liking the Cleancult tabs! Cleancult and Dropps have worked for me! I’d love to hear your thoughts on Dropps!! I’m glad you’re liking the dish soap. That’s smart to leave it under your sink. 😊👍

[@alexandracorbett6658]

This is not worth it. Pretty much Blueland is an example of greenwashing. The dishsoap pouches say "compostable" on the side but they aren't. They have plastic on the inside. So dumb. I can't believe I wasted money on this. I am just trying to buy soap in paper.

[@956lizz]

Your sink is huge 😩 it’s like a tub!!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Elizabeth Gonzalez Lol it’s a good size!

[@Scary1007]

I haven't had any issues with my cleaning bottles, yours looks like you dropped it or something and I don't think that's BlueLand's fault lol

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Carlos Andrés Well that’s great you haven’t had any problems! I never dropped it and I wasn’t rough with the bottle. I only used it a few times. I picked it up and the top just came off. A lot of people have been having problems with their bottles. Lol so it’s not my fault it broke. I just like to be honest in my reviews 😊

[@jillsuzannenipper7846]

I wish you had bothered to read the instructions before you made a public review. The dry pack is supposed to stay inside the silicone bottle. It keeps moisture out of the powder. And for the record, my silicone bottle has never collected any sort of dust or lint. I have no idea where you got that idea. And the instructions also say to wet your sponge, then sprinkle powder onto your sponge then work into a lather. Why are you were willy-nilly just throwing it about is beyond me. I think that’s really reckless.

[@jillsuzannenipper7846]

Good Lord, get a new sponge.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Thanks for your input, Jill
