Among the many things I love about Cleenland, they sell products that I haven't found anywhere else that are suitable for different allergies and sensitives - fragrance and otherwise. This has been a life saver. They also have Reef safe sunscreen (refills even), which is also difficult to find. There's even a CSA pickup there from a great local family.I have always experienced the staff to be informative and friendly, and they often offer to help me fill up my various bottles when possible.Cleenland is a fabulous store, as well as a responsive part of the community.

Went here a couple weeks ago and gotta say it was a weird experience. I’m not going to say exactly what I got because I think the unpleasant person mentioned in another comment is the owner, but I was really bummed out with my experience at this store. I just moved to Cambridge from Newton where I went to another zero waste store, Fulfilled Goods. I don’t usually need help with shopping, but with zero waste stores I typically have more questions and require more of a conversation. When I visited here I was asking about a product to the person working and instead of walking over to me they just pointed at things. This went on for almost the whole time I was shopping because I didn’t have the slightest idea what they were pointing to in an area densely merchandised. It was so bizarre. Like I work in retail too and I get it I don’t want to get up or move around to help people if I can avoid it but if someone doesn’t know what you’re pointing to when they’re asking questions that require the correct item to be selected maybe get up. Anyway after this they were super weird with me and I checked out and quickly left. Maybe their behavior was just their demeanor but it was a really unwelcoming and confusing demeanor to deal with if so. I will say they do have a great selection and products, but I will simply not be returning here. I’ll just take a drive down to Fulfilled Goods in Newton every week or so when I need my refills:/

I love the bulk refill options and all the other interesting products here. I also love that they offer some bulk refill products like lotions that don't have nut oils! That can be tough to find.

This is one of my very favorite stores. The products are high quality with fun and interesting scents: I especially enjoy the cedar sage shampoo, the frankincense and myrrh body butter, and the lavender rosemary solid lotion bars. They take care to only sell products they believe in and which they are confident don't have any harmful ingredients. Plus the staff are super friendly, nonjudgmental, and happy to help with tricky items. Overall, a great store with an important mission!

They have an impressive collection of cleaning products of all types that don't come in plastic packaging. You can bring your own jars or bottles to use for dish soap, detergent, shampoo, etc., or they have some clean reusable jars if you need them.

You fill up your own bottles with personal cleaning products, and they even have some donated containers for the taking. Naturally I chose to get shampoo in an oregano spice bottle, that way I can crank up the water temperature, shake it onto my head, & wiggle my arms to pretend I'm a fancy Italian dinner in the shower.

Super well stocked with zero waste/low waste body and home products. Love the selection of free repurposed containers, good prices, and the employee who helped me was so kind! Places like this make it especially easy and joyful to reduce your waste

not sure why my honest review keeps getting taken down aswell as other peoples honest low star reviews!Wish I could give 0 stars, very small store, disorganized and messy looking.Overall the girl working today was just extremely rude and unpleasant not only to us but to other people in the store aswell. A lady nicely asked about conditioner recommendations to which she responded "um ya I mean they're all good" as if it wasn't worth her time. Towards us she was freaking out about us having mask which is no longer required but fine if they prefer that, so we asked for masks she hesitated about giving us them and then just said she'll grab whatever we need so we don't come in (what in the world, as if we aren't even welcome in the store) then she gives me one and practically throws the mask at my sister and it ends up falling on the ground and she sarcastically says "oh sorry" when she did it on purpose just to be conniving! We will never be back because of her horrible attitude!

Love love love Cleanland - we need more low waste stores like this!! All their products are high quality, unpretentious and useful - you don't feel like they are pushing junk on customers for the sake of profit. Yes, maybe their products are a little more expensive than standard grocery store products, but this is not the fault of Cleanland - organic products cost more to produce, and compared to other organic household products, I've found that Cleanland is actually less expensive. Love that they are making low waste accessible for all. Wonderful store and owner.

Love the concept of saving packaging and reducing waste. Store smells great and has lovely products. Can be a bit pricey compared to buying standard products at a chain grocery, but good to support local shop owners and a great mission.You can bring your cleaned jars and bottles in for them to repurpose for other customers and bring your own for refill (or purchase one there).

Absolutely love this store and recommend to anyone try to reduce their environmental impact! I always bring 4 jars and stick up on dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, soap and leave one open in case there is something I want to try. I also always grab something new from their collection of sustainable/reduced packaging products. I love that I can pursue and shop for so many lovely things at once! I have gotten shampoo and conditioner bars, tablets for multi purpose cleaner, scrubs etc. Staff is always very helpful in answering my questions! I wish I had more reasons to stop by more often but once you buy in bulk it takes a long time to run out!
