Pros
- A Membership That Can Pay for Itself: For $65 a year, members get 20% off every order, free US shipping with no minimum and $80 in yearly credits, paid as $20 each quarter on orders of $65 or more.
- No Membership Required: Non-members pay regular prices, such as $9.95 for 16 fl oz of dish soap, ship free on orders of $45 or more and save 15% with Subscribe & Save.
- Refills and Free Return Labels: Soaps and cleaners come in 34 fl oz refills, and unused products can go back within 14 days on a prepaid return label with no restocking fee.
Cons
- The membership renews automatically each year and a new one is non-refundable, and recent one-star Trustpilot reviews describe renewal charges shoppers did not expect, so note your renewal date and cancel from the Membership tab of your account if you stop using it.
- Free shipping covers only the contiguous US, Canadian orders pay standard rates below $200 and a $50 flat rate above it, and the store publishes no rates for Australia or the UK, so readers outside the US should check the delivered total at checkout first.
The Verdict
What sets Public Goods apart is a single-brand set of plain, plant-based household basics, with a membership that can cover its own cost: Public Goods is run by Don't Run Out, Inc., a New York company founded in 2017 by Morgan Hirsh, and it sells about 160 products under its own name: dish and laundry products, surface and glass cleaners, shampoo, body wash and lotion, tree-free toilet paper made from bamboo and sugarcane, compostable trash bags, and kitchenware, stoneware and organic cotton bedding. Soaps and cleaners come in 34 fl oz refills for glass or stoneware dispensers, and product labels flag attributes such as vegan-friendly, sulfate-free and paraben-free, with fragrance-free versions of several soaps. The store says it plants a tree with every order through veritree and uses mostly plastic-free packaging; those figures are its own. Anyone can shop at regular prices: $9.95 for 16 fl oz of dish soap, $14.95 for hand soap, $19.95 for shampoo or a pack of laundry detergent sheets, and $49.95 for 24 rolls of tree-free toilet paper. Non-members ship free on orders of $45 or more within the contiguous US and get 15% off with Subscribe & Save. The $65 yearly membership takes 20% off everything, ships every order free with no minimum, and adds $80 a year in credits, $20 each quarter on orders of $65 or more, so one qualifying order a quarter returns more than the fee. Orders leave in one to two business days and arrive in two to six, Canada pays a $50 flat rate on orders over $200, and Alaska and Hawaii pay a reduced USPS rate. The reservations are about billing and proof. The membership renews automatically and a new one is non-refundable, with only a 14-day refund window after a renewal you have not used. Trustpilot rates the store 4.3 from 696 reviews, but 17% are one-star, recent complaints describe unexpected $79 renewal charges, and the company had not replied to negative reviews. The sustainability numbers have not been independently checked. Returns are fair: unused items within 14 days on a prepaid label, and damaged ones within 30 days. Join only if you will order every quarter, and set a reminder before your renewal.
Plant-Based Cleaning, Bath and Home Essentials With an Optional $65 Membership
Public Goods is operated by Don't Run Out, Inc., a New York company founded in 2017 by Morgan Hirsh, whose terms give an address at 85 Delancey Street in Manhattan and whose support runs through [email protected]. It sells about 160 products under its own label, mostly household cleaning, paper goods and bath and body care, plus kitchenware, stoneware, organic cotton bedding and ramen. Its dish soap and surface cleaner are made in the USA and its shampoo and hand soap in Canada.
Regular prices include $9.95 for 16 fl oz of Dish Soap and $19.95 for a 34 fl oz refill, $14.95 for Hand Soap, $19.95 for Shampoo or Laundry Detergent Sheets, $13.95 for Surface Cleaner, $49.95 for 24 rolls of Tree Free Toilet Paper and $59.95 for three rolls of 13-gallon Compostable Trash Bags. Members pay 20% less on everything, so the dish soap drops to about $7.96, and non-members get 15% off with Subscribe & Save. The Public Goods Membership costs $65 a year and adds an $80 yearly credit, paid as $20 each quarter on orders of $65 or more.
Members who joined after April 1, 2025 get free shipping on every order to the contiguous US, while non-members and earlier members ship free on orders of $45 or more. Orders are processed in one to two business days and arrive in two to six, by UPS, USPS or FedEx; Alaska, Hawaii and US territories pay a reduced USPS rate with a 40 lb limit, and Canada pays standard rates below $200 and a $50 flat rate above it, with duties at checkout. The store lists Australia and the UK as destinations but publishes no rates for them, and it says it plants a tree with each order through veritree, a figure we could not verify.
Unused products in their original packaging can be returned within 14 days of delivery on a prepaid label with no restocking fee, and damaged, defective or incorrect items within 30 days with a photo, for a refund or replacement. A new membership is non-refundable and renews each year until you cancel in your account, with a 14-day refund window after a renewal you have not used. Trustpilot rates the store 4.3 from 696 reviews with praise for product quality and minimal packaging, though 17% of reviews are one-star, and recent ones describe unexpected $79 membership charges.
Public Goods: what to know before you buy
Public Goods sells plant-based cleaning, bath and body products and home goods under its own label, with an optional $65 yearly membership. Here is what it costs, how shipping and returns work and whether to join.
Shipping, returns & warranty
Orders are processed and shipped within one to two business days, never on weekends or holidays, and arrive in two to six business days by UPS, USPS or FedEx. Members who joined after April 1, 2025 ship free on every order to the contiguous US; non-members and earlier members ship free on orders of $45 or more. Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and other US territories pay a reduced USPS rate, with a 40 lb limit per order. We found no published holiday order-by date, so order gifts by early December.
Canada is served in five to ten business days: orders under $200 pay standard rates, orders over $200 pay a $50 flat rate, and duties are charged at checkout. Australia and the UK appear as destinations at checkout, but rates are not published.
Unused products in original packaging can be returned within 14 days of delivery; after approval you get a prepaid label, and there is no restocking fee. Report damaged, defective or wrong items within 30 days with your order number and a photo for a refund or replacement. Refunds go to your original payment method, and the store offers no separate product warranty.
Public Goods product lines
Cleaning is the core of the range: Dish Soap ($9.95 for 16 fl oz, $19.95 for a 34 fl oz refill), Laundry Detergent Sheets ($19.95), laundry and dishwasher pods, surface, glass and bathroom cleaners, scrubbers and Compostable Trash Bags. Paper goods are tree-free, such as 24 rolls of three-ply bamboo and sugarcane toilet paper for $49.95.
Bath and body covers shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap and lotion in full and refill sizes, plus skincare, bamboo toothbrushes, razors and organic cotton tampons. Home goods include stoneware dispensers, glass food storage, kitchen tools, dinnerware and organic cotton bedding, and the pantry is limited to ramen noodles.
How to choose: member or not
Start with how often you order. The membership costs $65 a year and gives 20% off, free shipping with no minimum and $20 in credit each quarter on orders of $65 or more, so one qualifying order a quarter returns $80, more than the fee, before the discount.
If you order once or twice a year, shop at regular prices instead: orders of $45 or more still ship free within the contiguous US, and Subscribe & Save takes 15% off for non-members.
If you join, note the renewal date. The membership renews automatically, a new one is non-refundable, and the only refund is within 14 days of a renewal you have not used. Cancel from the Membership tab in your account.
Deals & pricing
Members pay 20% less on everything, and the store's email sign-up offers 10% off a first order. A few items show the store's own reduced prices, such as the Organic Cotton White Duvet Cover at $56.95 against $104.95.
We found no standing public discount code, so we list none. To catch a holiday price drop on a product you use, set a price alert on In-Right's /watchlist/ page.

Public Goods: questions people ask
Straight answers about Public Goods, then how this review was written and stays independent.
About Public Goods
Is Public Goods legit?
Yes. Public Goods is run by Don't Run Out, Inc., a New York company founded in 2017, and sells its own-label household and personal care products with published shipping, return and membership terms. Trustpilot rates it 4.3 from 696 reviews, though 17% are one-star, mostly about unexpected membership renewal charges.
Is the Public Goods membership worth it?
It can be. The membership costs $65 a year and gives 20% off everything, free shipping with no minimum and $80 in yearly credits, released as $20 each quarter on orders of $65 or more. If you place one qualifying order a quarter, the credits alone exceed the fee. If you order only now and then, regular prices with free shipping over $45 may suit you better.
How do I cancel my Public Goods membership?
Sign in, open the Membership tab in your account and click Cancel Membership. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. New memberships are non-refundable, but after an automatic renewal you have 14 days to ask for a full refund if you have not used the membership.
What is the Public Goods return policy?
Unused products in their original packaging can be returned within 14 days of delivery; once the return is approved, Public Goods sends a prepaid label and charges no restocking fee. Damaged, defective or incorrect items should be reported within 30 days with your order number and a photo, for a refund or replacement.
Can I shop Public Goods without a membership?
Yes. Anyone can buy at regular prices, such as $9.95 for 16 fl oz of dish soap. Non-members get free shipping on orders of $45 or more within the contiguous US and 15% off products on Subscribe & Save, but not the 20% member discount.
Does Public Goods ship to Canada, Australia or the UK?
Public Goods ships to Canada: orders under $200 pay standard rates, orders over $200 pay a $50 flat rate, duties are charged at checkout and delivery takes five to ten business days. Australia and the UK are listed as destinations in the store's checkout, but no rates are published, so check the total before you pay.
About this review
Is this Public Goods review sponsored?
No. Public Goods did not pay for this write-up, see it before publication, or have any say in the verdict. If we earn anything it is a commission after you buy, and it comes out of the merchant’s margin rather than your price.
How was the Public Goods assessed?
By using it and by checking the claims made about it against what it actually does. Where our time with something has been limited, the review says so rather than implying more testing than happened.
What else have you reviewed in Home & Garden?
Everything in Home & Garden sits in the review library, where you can filter by budget and sort by rating, price or how recently it landed.
Do you update reviews after publishing?
Yes — when a product changes, when a price moves for good, or when we get something wrong. Corrections are made on the piece itself with a note saying what changed.
