We are two friends living on opposite coasts (Brooklyn, New York and Santa Monica, California) that share a passion for living a minimal, zero waste lifestyle and on a mission to help others do the same.

Overall, we thought Blueland’s laundry tablets worked well, our laundry came out clean and smelling fresh (even though it was unscented!). While it continues to be the most expensive of what we have reviewed, we do appreciate that it is one of the few options that are PVA free, while maintaining the convenience of tablet form. Powder-based products like Meliora and Charley’s remain the most economical options.
ITS A BUY! If you are in the market for an eco-friendly liquid body soap that smells AMAZING and reasonably priced, Bathing Culture’s Mind & Body Wash checks all the boxes! While still more expensive than most bar soap options (and heavier to ship), we appreciate that it is a concentrated formula that comes in a refillable, 100% recycled plastic bottle (no new plastic is used). We also love that Bathing Culture is a carbon neutral brand!
MIXED buy. For starting on a greener journey, the Brandless Bamboo TP is fine. The paper is made out of more sustainable ingredients and it is cheaper than standard Quilted Northern. Additionally, if you are already on the Grove Collaborative site, you can pop this TP package in your cart without sacrificing much space in your home or apartment. The drawbacks are the tissue paper feel , smaller individual rolls, and plastic packaging.
Imagine if paper towels and sponges had a baby — a biodegradable, zero-waste one... it would be these Swedish Dishcloths! We ESPECIALLY love these from Redecker (even more than other swedish dishcloths we’ve used in the past) for the design and the incredible price. Buy these, and buy many.
