A lot of us have opted to drop single-use plastic in exchange for stainless steel or glass water bottles, metal straws, silicone reusable snack bags and other items that help us out when we’re on the go. But have you made the switch when it comes to other areas of your life such as your household cleaning supplies?
According to Blueland’s research, “We’re eating a credit card’s worth of plastic each week and 90% of the water we drink and the food we eat contain microplastics.” Not only that, but we’re polluting our oceans with plastic and it’s estimated that by 2050, the ocean will contain more plastic by weight than fish.
So, if you’ve been considering exchanging your old cleaning products for natural alternatives to help save our planet, Blueland’s Cleaning Companions Pack is a great first step.
Described by Blueland as the “ultimate trio of plastic-free, compostable companions for your kitchen”, the set includes the Cloud Cloth, a Pop-Up Sponge and a Scrub Sponge. Each product is made to fight against the dirtiest surfaces while also fighting for the planet–just add water! And while together they make the perfect set, each item in the trio has its own strengths that will make a great addition to your cleaning supply cabinet.

The Cloud Cloth will help you say goodbye to single-use paper towels forever. The perfect combination of sponge and dishcloth, just one Cloud Cloth can absorb 10x its weight in water and can replace up to 1,500 standard paper towels. The Cloud Cloth was designed to be used on any surface and, to make it less prone to bacteria, it dries quickly and is easy to sanitize; just throw it in the dishwasher, microwave or boil it.
The plant-based Pop-Up Sponge lives up to its name. At first glance, the sponge is flat and not sponge-like at all, but just add water to bring it to life and expand by 5x. The Pop-Up Sponge is plastic– and petrochemical-free, and, like the Cloud Cloth, easy to sanitize. It’s dishwasher safe and can be boiled.
The third member of the trio, the Scrub Sponge, is small but mighty, and ready to take on even the toughest messes. Free of plastics, petrochemicals and other coatings, the plant-based Scrub Sponge is hand-sewn with no plastic glues or adhesives, and like its companions, easy to sanitize by boiling or tossing in the dishwasher!
