I hope this was helpful, let me know any other brands you'd like to see in this series.
can you do a review of sustainable all natural and zero waste stain removers. I am really huge on using natural products because who wants a zero waste chemical product not me. Thank you. :)
No Canada again 😂😂😂😂😂
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.
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!
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.
Kerste Beth would love to know that too!
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.
@@notacanadian278 That's good to know, I'm going to check out Dollar Tree. Thanks!
We started working on something like this towards the end and we will be creating a running list on my website so that as we add brands they’re all in one place.
Exactly what i was thinking 😄
Thank you thank you thank you for specifically mentioning that products were for general cleaning and not sanitizing! People aren't being 100% honest about that and it's important that we are!
Sadaf Ali for me it is a big deal that these products aren’t sanitizing. I hope these brands think about that.
i was so happy she said that too! at least general cleaning helps sanitizing products like bleach work better. but i really hope a sustainably made disinfecting product is made soon (or does exist and i just dont know about them)
I was looking at true earth but was sceptical about it being green washing. Thank you for including it in this video
It’s a terrific product
@@krishnagelda9653 Does it have a scent? I love the smell of laundry detergent but my husband is allergic so we have to use non scented detergent
I needed this review SO much. I really struggle with making environmentally friendly cleaning product choices. It actually causes me anxiety because I don’t know which companies are the real deal and which ones are just green washing. Thanks Shelbi. ❤️
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" :)
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!!
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.
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 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.
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.
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😅.
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!
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).
Agreed. I only use their glass cleaner cause my DIYs never worked. But the tablets are great and get the glass streak-free clean.
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!
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
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!
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!
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
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!
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!
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!
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 :)
Loved this. You did a great job! I’ve really been wondering about TruEarth and now I definitely want to try them. Yay!!
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!
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!
I freaking LOVE Dropps! I started buying their laundry and dish washer detergent about a year ago thanks to your channel :)
Considering using Dropps for laundry when they can ship across the border again. Was wondering if you'd let me know how your experience with it has been? :)
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.
LOVED the video! I actually wished it was longer!!! Thank you *SO* much for the upload!
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!
Me: why is she scared to go to get groceries?
My brain: she lives in America
Me: ohhh right
I love that you showed the box openings of the ones you could. Loved this video as a beginner eco friendly product user. Thanks! 😊☺️
I loved the (so you don't have to) part, it's really helpful and kind of you. 🌱💜 love ur channel.
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.
Wonderful video! I'd love to hear about more brands. You're so indepth so it's so helpful!
God bless you for taking a stand and sharing your light and hard work. You are truly a great thing for CZcams and the internet, and obviously the world! Love your videos!
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. :)
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.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO! I've been wondering whether the laundry strips actually worked, so now I'm going to give them a try. I love their low waste packaging!
Thanks for your hard work on this video. I appreciate your honesty and I love your attitude!
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.
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!
Thank you so much for taking the time to research these for all of us 💕
So excited I just got my first cleancult order! Thank you for this video!
Love your outfits, especially the dark green jumper in the beginning. Love drops dishwasher pods. This was super helpful, I hadn't heard of blueland and some of the other brands. Like you I have a hard time with diys and really making them work
Yes, this is what I've been waiting for!!
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 love you!! Thank you so much for testing all these, it saves me tons! keep it up, girlie. You are Inspiring
Y'all I literally needed this!!! I loved the video
I like Blueland and I find if I leave it on for a bit before wiping it works much better.
I looooooove dropps I just switched but Ive used them in around 5 loads so far and they get my clothes so clean and honestly so soft. Hope I can convince my family to switch to them for laundry and for dishwasher.
Do they have a smell? I wanna try it but my husband is allergic to a lot of scents
Thank you for continuing to introduce us with great products for our homes and our earth. You introduced me to EarthHero and I love them!!! I will try your dish/hand soap. Keep being awesome ! 🥰😘
Incredible video. Clear to see the amount of work you put in here. Thank you so much
just ordered some blueland foaming hand soap. I love that idea of refilling hand soap like that!
Thank you for reviewing these products!!! I’ve been curious about how good and effective these are. I’m excited to try the laundry detergent!! Thank you for all you do!
Oh man, this makes me happy - I LOVE Truearth strips 😻😻 I'm a little proud to say that I discovered this brand a little earlier than when they got popular, since then I have been sharing as I can, and got everyone I could hooked on them.
Thank you so much for posting this!! Learned of products I didn’t even know of! :)
I appreciate these videos SO much! I can't wait to try some of these brands.
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!
This is super helpful. I found your channel months ago and fell in love with your videos and content you put out. I a definitely trying to be more sustainable which is definitely a slow process but I'm getting there! I'm all about cleaning supplies so this is really informative in what I wanted to try next. I have been using Mrs. Meyers and I agree that it's not that sustainable so this helps so much!
I was hoping for a stain test on a white shirt of ketchup, bbq sauce etc etc in the laundry soap category 😢
Thanks for all the research and testing you put into your videos. I am looking forward to your thoughts on safety razors.
I just wanted to say thanks for including the No Tox Life dish block. I didn't know about the dish block, and I actually live really close to No Tox Life's physical store, so I'm excited to bike down and pick up a dish block to try!
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.
WOW- loved seeing your face without make-up- thank you for such attention to detail and care in creating this content!
request --- do one on yoga mats / yoga props please! I'm all side-eye about the cork ones bc so many have some undisclosed substance on the bottom that is just. . . . never mentioned . . .
Should have really went Billy maze showing the effectiveness lol
This was super helpful! I kept getting those True Earth ads like you said and I really wanted to know if I should switch from soap berries. Thanks for this in-depth review! Saving the planet so we don't have to test them ourselves lol
I love Laundry Club laundry sheets! I ordered from True Earth Laundry Sheets. They were very slow in delivery. I am a fan of Laundry Club Sheets and they were very prompt in their delivery. I love the way my laundry comes out. By the by, GREAT holiday gifts!
@@ceciliaheight6344 what is the cost of Laundry Club?
Videos like this are so helpful and informative! Keep it up 👍 stay safe x
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!
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
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.
Thank you so much for sharing, last year I was sucked into the brand Method for cleaning supplies but I know what to replace them with now
Yay! Thank you for this! :D I've been seeing ads like crazy for these brands. :D
You are awesome! You are making a huge difference. Thank you for helping me make changes in my home. 💞
I loved this vid!❤️ thanks for the content during quarantine season. Also I would love to see more on this series, pls try out Veles they are a cleaning brand and are abt reducing food waste and have other claims as well.
I love this! I've been making my own vinegar cleaner, and using up tide pods and such that my mom bought me years ago. So sometime soon I'll be looking to switch to other cleaners. I live in Canada though so finger crossed that some of these ship there!
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!🦋
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.
Thanks for the True Earth Review! Been wanting to try these for a while now.
Hey Shelby, Ive been watching you for a while and I just want to say, your editing and production has drastically improved, they were amazing to start off with already but im really please with how much more effort you have been putting into your videos, it really shows through.
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.
I definitely would have liked to see more in-depth review on the individual products but I still appreciate the overall review. I use Blueland and I e been wanting to try a couple of the ones you ended up mentioning so thank you. Love they you do the research
i use your recommendations almost exclusively- keep up the great work. i can be lazy because i trust youuuuu ❤❤❤❤ i just found TruEarth in my local co-op so i'm going to test them out
I have been debating so much about these brands, thank you sooooooo much
I would love to see the other cleaning videos like this :)
Those truearth strips seem absolutely perfect, oh my god
Thank you! So thorough and thoughtful.
I just signed up for clean cult and then came on here after. I’m about to watch this video it’s Just what I needed. I already use dropps and love them! Also your makeup looks beautiful in this video! Do you have an updated make up routine? Any new low waste products?
Just watched it. Fanntastic video! Love the layout and graphics of each product. Did you mention the brand of the dishwashing bar? I’ve been looking at all these brands for a while but couldn’t decide what to use. Thank you for this video!!!
You are so thorough and helpful!! 😋😋
This is so useful! I’ve been seeing these brands everywhere and wondering whether theyre greenwashing or not.
I really like this series!
I'm so glad you did this video. I've been looking into Clean Cult and Blueland so I'm glad you gave a honest opinion on them. I'm kind of disappointed because I had higher hopes for them but I'm glad I saw this before I purchased!
First comment! Love you Shelbie. You've given me the courage to live the zero-waste sustainable I wanna live. Thanks for your bravery and energy
Can you make a video on how you are disinfecting with all of this Covid-19 stuff going on? Everybody is using bleach since it was recommended by the CDC but we don’t use bleach or Lysol wipes. Any recommendations?
I’m using alcohol.
tiiffyxo hydrogen peroxide! It’s easily biodegradable and the CDC lists it as effective against viruses at 3% or more
tiiffyxo to be honest, there’s not much more than bleach, Lysol wipes, rubbing alcohol, and hydrogen peroxide that will sanitize and kill this virus. I’m all for natural, low waste cleaning products in my home, but I’m also a nurse seeing firsthand just how terrible this virus really is. My advice is to use one of the above mentioned sanitizers to disinfect your home!!! Stay safe and healthy 💓
tiiffyxo have you heard of Norwex?
The pyramid scheme
Your little frecklees are soo cute! Omg you’re adorable.
