Buy concentrated cleaning tablets to eliminate plastic bottles

Brands like Blueland ($2/tablet), Cleancult (refill pouches), and Grove Co. (concentrates) ship cleaning products as tablets or concentrates. Drop a tablet into a reusable bottle with water, and you have a full bottle of cleaner with zero new plastic.

Why It Works

Conventional cleaning products are 90% water shipped in single-use plastic. Concentrates and tablets ship only the active ingredients in minimal packaging. You reuse the same spray bottle hundreds of times.

Tips

• Blueland starter kits ($30-40) include glass spray bottles and a set of tablets (bathroom, kitchen, glass)
• One Blueland tablet makes a full bottle of cleaner for about $2
• Grove Co. offers concentrated cleaning solutions in small recyclable bottles
• Many tablets are EPA Safer Choice certified, meaning they meet strict safety and environmental standards
