The clean cult hand soap caused build up in my bathroom sink, not sure if it’s from the oils but the only way to remove it was with a brush or using my water pik to spray where I couldn’t reach.

This is really helpful as an overview, I still mostly use conventional non-sustainable brands because I didn’t know where to start. If you continue this series may I suggest comparing the cost (per use) as well? That’s a huge factor and why I often find myself going for the conventional brands.

When I was on a budget with very little time to diy my own products my favorite place to get them was the dollar tree. You can buy powdered versions of dishwasher detergent and laundry detergent in cardboard boxes. You can buy vinegar in a glass bottle and baking soda for 59 cents. They even have rubbing alcohol for sanitizing. I've even found all natural bar soap without packaging.

One of the reasons I love this channel is that you are not trying to guilt us all into being perfect zero/low wasters. I really appreciate that you always consider the fact that we might be living/working with friends/partners/family who also have their own needs and preferences and provide lots of solutions/suggestions to accommodate them. Loved this episode!

I know I’m late but you should check out force of nature. I use a machine to make it at home and reuse the plastic spray bottle they gave me. I found a super simple DIY recipe on their FB fan group for their capsules(just salt and vinegar!) and it’s an EPA registered disinfect. I’ve had mine for 2 years and I love it.

I really appreciate your consistent uploads during this time. You've been my positive escape and I cannot tell you how much I need this, thank you so much

For foaming handsoap: you can buy the dispenser online and then mix liquid soap like Dr Bronner, which is refillable where I live, mix it with water et voila! Foaming hand soad w/o disposable dispensers!

This is so incredibly helpful! I'm transitioning to a lower waste lifestyle and have been starting to get decision fatigue, so your videos are really useful. Thank you for all of the research that goes into them!

I completely agree. I do so much research already and it’s nice to have help. Shelby did a great job!

3:22 The cat was like "Oh, here's a box, I like boxes" :)

I was so happy to find Blueland because where I have kids, I don’t feel completely confident with bar soap because I can just see the soap slipping out of their hands and them leaving it on the floor.

I am SO glad companies like this exist now. I think a lot of household burden tends to fall on women. When I lived with my partner who didn't really care about zero-waste (it was more my thing), if I wanted anything zero-waste, I had to do all the DIYs, make purchasing decisions, do the cleaning in a zero-waste way. I ended up taking on at least 90% of our household affairs just to be zero-waste. The fact that these brands are out there now and I can order them online with a subscription is amazing. It takes so much of the burden off me, time-wise and emotionally. I love how equalizing stuff like this is.

I've been low-waste forever, but you just gave me the best refresher course in product updates. And you are fabulous and hilarious. Love.

Honestly, I’m Mexican and I don’t remember the last time I personally bought cleaning items. Lol I just use a eco friendly and biodegradable Mexican soap that I’ve been using since I was a kid. I use the same soap for cleaning, laundry, and showering. Yes, showering. Oh and washing my hands in the bathroom and kitchen. Oh and obviously dishes. It does come in a huge plastic bag, but that’s the only bag I use. As a Mexican growing up my grandma showed me using reusable bags for everything including our lunch. Lol

we have been wanting to switch to a system because like you, we donʻt want to diy, we just want something we can order on subscription, but support companies doing things better and refrain from putting harmful shtuff in the water! Thank you Shelbiiii!!

Me: why is she scared to go to get groceries? My brain: she lives in America Me: ohhh right

I’ve been using a mixture of things for cleaning. I got into using Blueland going on two years ago. It’s a great idea for people trying to get into the more sustainable lifestyle. The cleaners aren’t bad! I think people are expecting the cleaners to be tough on grime instead of being an everyday cleaner. So whenever I need the extra abrasive I use baking soda added on top of the Blueland bathroom cleaner. I like their hand soap, hands feel clean and I feel fancy with the foam. The glass cleaner works as well as windex and the multi surface does a pretty good job, even against one of the name brand cleaners. They even sent out an email regarding covid and antibacterial cleaners vs theirs. I thought it was super helpful and honestly if you’re cleaning any surface with some type of soap it’s going to wash away virus and bacteria from the surface. It’ll be fine, you don’t need sanitizing agents. Of course unless the surface can’t handle soap and water at all(which most can handle at least a bit).

@monicavanbuskirk270

Agreed. I only use their glass cleaner cause my DIYs never worked. But the tablets are great and get the glass streak-free clean.

Your editing gets more inspiring every day! And I just love how you are so into sustainable living 😍. I had a sustainable fashion blog for years. Stopped before I moved because I struggled with al Pr packages😅.

I like Blueland and I find if I leave it on for a bit before wiping it works much better.

I was hoping for a stain test on a white shirt of ketchup, bbq sauce etc etc in the laundry soap category 😢

Thank you for how informative this is! Sometimes it feels hella overwhelming doing research for every household product/its origins, so these videos are super super helpful!

Should have really went Billy maze showing the effectiveness lol

specifically came to your channel to look for this kind of video because you are always so thorough with your reviews. it's super helpful when trying to figure out if a company is just green washing or if they're actually putting in the work

I really appreciate how many sustainable brands are on a subscription that’s sent to your door, this has actually been a deciding factor for a lot of my friends and family who honestly couldn’t be bothered to do things more sustainably! the fact that these brands make being more sustainable even more convenient than most conventional brands is amazing!

SUPER helpful! You have been such a huge help to our family as we have made changes over the last year and a half. Keep posting! You're doing an awesome job!

Your videos make sustainable living seem achievable by everyone and I appreciate that you aren't putting beginners down because we're not doing "as much" but we're trying. Thanks!

Brianna Hupman I’ve been using Dropps laundry pods for over a year and LOVE them. I use the Stain & Odor Laundry Detergent Pods, Clean Scent and my laundry comes out clean and fresh smelling. I want to mention several things as considerations though: 1st, my kids are grown and I don’t do much that causes much odor or stain removal need so my evaluation is based on low odor, low dirt laundry even though I do buy the Stain and Odor pods. 2nd, throughout my life, most traditional laundry scents irritated my sinuses and/or caused headaches so I needed to use unscented detergent/soap. Dropps clean scent does NOT irritate my sinuses and does not give me a headache. The scent is light and fresh and for me, not irritating.

I'm so happy you posted this video! Even though times are weird, this is a great time for research and find better cleaning products for sure. Also I ALWAYS learn so much from your videos! I suggested Blueland when you asked on insta because I saw an ad and I'm so happy it made it in the video because not only do I have a better idea now of the company and products in general, but I also learned about SO MANY other low waste, zero waste companies out there! I don't have a problem DIYing laundry detergent and cleaning with vinegar and alcohol but with a baby on the way I want to make sure that I have options that won't hurt the earth!

LOVED the video! I actually wished it was longer!!! Thank you *SO* much for the upload!

Thank you for making this, it is super helpful during this time! My local co-op where I buy my soap, laundry detergent, etc. currently has its bulk section closed, so it's nice that someone has done all the work of researching each brand and product. Thank you!

This was super helpful! I have debating for a long time which brands to try out. Buying a bunch of different brands to try out would be so wasteful so I'm truly grateful that for this video. I'm looking forward to this series :)

I love that you showed the box openings of the ones you could. Loved this video as a beginner eco friendly product user. Thanks! 😊☺️

We switched to TruEarth detergent a few months ago (bought a 384 load box) and not only is it my favorite eco friendly detergent, it’s by far my favorite laundry detergent, ever. Clothes are super clean, feel like they have less detergent build up. And I was able to decrease the storage space for our laundry to just a few inches. I am SO excited about this brand!

I’ve been wondering about Clean Cult! They seem like a brand that would help me with being more eco friendly in a college environment! That’s also another idea for you! How to be sustainable in college!

If you haven’t tried Meliora, I recommend it! It’s local to me but they ship nationwide. I use their all purpose cleaner and scrub.

GIRRRRLLLL - I just need to say. I am so grateful for your channel. My family growing up was not conscious at all of waste. Paper towels in place of rags / napkins, went through costco-size packs of ziploc bags in a flash, single-use plastics for days, only saw the 'benefits' of single-serving [anything]. As I've gotten older (28yo nowadays) I've become much more environmentally aware, I was a strict vegan for years, and I've changed my habits. I'm not perfect and I'm always looking to improve and your videos are great for keeping me on track with being better! I just want to say how much I appreciate your channel and the effort you put in to make videos. I believe your impact is WAY bigger than you could possibly know. THANK YOU and keep up the awesome work! You're helping change the world, little by little. :) Thank you.

You look amazing with and without makeup! I like how you think of the big picture when trying new brands! I did not know biodegradable can be define in different ways!

God bless you for taking a stand and sharing your light and hard work. You are truly a great thing for KZread and the internet, and obviously the world! Love your videos!

Thank you for making this video, as someone who's trying to take some of the next steps as I'm using through what I already had in my sustainable journey this was extremely helpful. I like and follow a lot of your other videos, and I love when you do product reviews. Especially because of how in-depth you go with companies being ethical, and their ingredients being truly sustainable, and thank you for the work that you had to do for this video, I appreciate it.

Yas, queen! Honestly though so grateful for this. I am looking at greener products and LOVE how you consider transportation costs, etc. Also we have similar hair and I already can't wait to watch your shampoo video!

this is my first video from you that im watching and OMG this is exactly the kind of content I have been looking for, can't wait to binge your videos and keep learning how to become more eco friendly

I loved the (so you don't have to) part, it's really helpful and kind of you. 🌱💜 love ur channel.

Thank you for doing this video! I've been waiting for it since you started talking about it. It is much appreciated and quite helpful!

This is perfect, I know to always go to you for learning about products and stainability, especially more now that I am moving into my own house and trying to find second hand furniture and sustainable products to create less waste. I already hand my eye on blue land so this video helps a lot! THANK YOU. You being so educated on sustainability and the environment makes me want to research tons and create my own blog/website to help others understand the importance.

Hard times but great video and content! I think you do such a wonderful job of addressing any areas/topics that might be confusing or touchy for people. You’re doing great! This was extremely helpful and I feel really aligned with your level of ‘product/company support’ verses DIYs so I really respect your opinions (on all matters eco-min) but definitely in this video. Good timing for spring cleaning (anti-bacterial or not.) Thanks girl! Made my day. :)

Yay love! Thank you I appreciate how thorough you were and I have to admit the *and also* scattery update moments when you're elaborating and updating us even though it's kinda funny for me how it breaks up the flow of the overall presentation.

thanks so much for this video! i've been watching your channel for a couple of years now and making my own slow changes. now i'm in charge of working to "greenify" a small bed and breakfast, and i needed to find some cleaning alternatives that aren't DIYs but are still sustainable. this was super helpful!

I appreciate these videos SO much! I can't wait to try some of these brands.

This is super helpful .I try to use homemade cleaners but I am not sure if they are cutting it, so this is so helpful!

I've been dying for you to this video! It's tough to navigate those shelves as a conscious consumer, especially when there are so many greenwash brands owned by bigger companies.

Thank you so much for posting this!! Learned of products I didn’t even know of! :)

I have been planning to buy Blueland's stuff! So glad you have this video so I could get a better idea of how well they will work.

Love this vid! More please 😄 And since I live in the UK now, I’m going to ask Immy if she’ll do one. I’m a big fan of hers as well-I count on you both to help me think of things I can do next to improve my effects on the planet.

Dope necklace, and I absolutely love the way you mix your eyeshadow colors on every video💜 You are so passionate, and it inspired me to consider a few for myself. I want to change my laundry detergent too (The Arm and Hammer is good smelling, but for two working and working out people it takes a lot) , so I think I’ll get the sheets you talked about. Dr Bronner’s in dark blue mixed with water is my current choice of dish soap, floor cleaner, bathroom cleaner, and multi-surface cleaner. I tried it at my sister’s first, and when washing my hands I noticed how squeaky-clean they got. Keep in mind it is tough and can take off old wood stains (learned that the hard way), and certain paints can melt with it. Overall it worked magic on my walls too, taking off all grind from previous tenants and making them shiny again. The packaging is made from recycled plastic, and is to be recycled. They have a non-scented version too. Thank you!🦋

This is great thank you! I was looking at so many brands but I had no idea where to start ToT but omg when you opened the blueland box I was so thrown for a sec bc I thought the lil thing on top was all there was in the box XD

Thanks for all the research and testing you put into your videos. I am looking forward to your thoughts on safety razors.
