Care & lifespan
Follow label dilution and surface guidance; never mix products

All-purpose cleaners described as plant-based use surfactants derived from plant sources. Many are sold as concentrates or refills, which cuts packaging when paired with a bottle you keep.

“Plant-based” is not a regulated term and does not by itself indicate performance or safety. Read the ingredient list, follow the label for surfaces and dilution, and never mix cleaning products. See the 30-day refillable cleaning plan.
