Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and sensitizers and Skin irritation from undiluted tablet contact on the Blueland and not on the Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day.
- We flag Fragrance allergens (botanical or synthetic components), 1,4-dioxane contamination from surfactants and Bacterial or fungal growth in pump dispenser on the Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day and not on the Blueland.
- The Blueland is soluble tablet, plant-based surfactants where the Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day is water-based liquid soap formulation, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 25 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Blueland is the one to buy.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
