Guys, I’ve done a fair number of partnerships with Grove Collaborative before, but this time around, I have something completely new to share with you!
Grove has always had lots of cleaning products available, but recently, they developed their own line of cleaning concentrates.
Most cleaning products are largely water, but these are different. Grove puts all the cleaning power into a little tube, and you just add the water at home.
(A 1 ounce tube makes 16 ounces of cleaner.)
This greatly reduces the cost of shipping as compared to regular cleaners, since you’re not having to package and transport all the bulk and weight of the water.
The concentrates are have no artificial fragrances…they’re just scented with essential oils! And they have no colorants either.
You’ll obviously need a spray bottle for your concentrates, and while you can use whatever bottle you like, Grove’s got a really great glass spray bottle.
They sent me one to try, and I was a little nervous about having a glass bottle (so many breakage possibilities!) But Grove’s bottle has an awesome silicone sleeve, which keeps it from slipping on surfaces.
And since the sleeve covers the bottom of the bottle, you can easily set it down on hard surfaces like granite or ceramic tiles without cracking it.
Anyway, it makes a great reusable container for mixing your concentrates, and it’s awfully pretty too!
To help round out your set of low-waste cleaning products, Grove has a 3-pack of microfiber cleaning cloths.
If you’re still cleaning with paper towels or disposable cleaning wipes, give these a try! I especially love cleaning glass with cloths instead of paper towels. I always felt like I needed 983457369 paper towels to clean something like a sliding glass door, but a single cloth can handle that task and more.
And guys, they really don’t create that much extra laundry. Throw them right in with your clothes, and stash them in a drawer or bin when they’re clean and dry. Super easy and waste-free.
Right now, you can try all of this for free with your first order of $20 from Grove Collaborative. Here’s what’s in the set:
- Free Grove Collaborative Cleaning Concentrates Set (3 pack of all purpose cleaner, glass cleaner, tub & tile cleaner)
- Free Grove Collaborative Glass Spray Bottle
- Free Grove Collaborative Microfiber (3 pack)
- Free Shipping & 60 Day VIP Trial
Grove has all sorts of great cleaning and personal care products, so you’ll have lots to choose from to meet your $20 order minimum.
(Pssst…they now carry Burt’s Bees! The tinted lip balm is fabulous.)

Let me know if you have any questions!
P.S. Grove is a subscription service…the idea is that they can regularly deliver the things you always use. But YOU get to decide how often that is, and you are under no obligation to get any more deliveries from Grove if you decide it’s not for you. There’s no subscription fee, and you can manage your deliveries right through your Grove dashboard.
And if you need help with anything Grove-related, their customer service people are truly fantastic.

I'm really looking for reviews of how the products really work. I wanted to buy The Grove concentrated but no one has been able to tell me how well they were. I know they smell good I know they're convenient I know you can get them shipped to you but what I really want to know is did they leave a film on things, do they clean the glass without streaking, will they really clean your bathtub?

I don't think they clean glass quite as well as Windex does, but they do work all right.
And the bathtub? I find that the only thing that REALLY works for me is some kind of semi-abrasive cleaner, such as Soft Scrub or Bon Ami. Anything else just does not cut the scum.

I used to live with roommates who would use paper towel for every single little drip, dribble, crumble, or spill. Even though there was a perfectly useable dish rag right by their hand. And then they wanted to split the cost of paper towel with me because 'we go through it so fast'. Thankfully we had a composting program so it wasn't going into the trash, but using a dish rag or those microfibre towels is good for the environment AND your wallet! :)

Reminds me of a former roommate who "suggested" we do up the dishes more frequently because we got some mice. I was like ummm, I literally wash my dishes immediately so that's on you dude.

Concentrates make so much sense, because really, most of a cleaning solution is water. I make most of my own cleaners, but this is a pretty sweet offer, I'd say. I use microfiber to clean most all the surfaces in my house, and my cloths came with the instruction to wash them only with other microfiber. I bought quite a few cloths over time, and use a fresh cloth and fresh mop pad, when needed, for each room when I clean. I just put them in a small washer load by themselves when I'm done cleaning. During the week I might use a few to wipe counters and clean up messes, so I keep a bucket in the laundry room to hold dirty ones until laundry day. I clean my mirrors with water and microfiber only, and it works really well, but I used to use newspaper, until I quit getting a subscription, too.

The bottles look really nice! I always get the cleaning solution from the grocery store. They work well for me so far. I have never tried cleaning concentrates, but it might be worth a try. ^.^

The Grove spray bottle is downright pretty. It's the first thing that caught my eye. Good to know that that's a silicone sleeve on the bottom to cushion the glass.

Yes! The silicone sleeve is fantastic.
