What is the Best Multi Purpose Cleaner?

Jul 16, 2024Andrew Linfoot

Cleaning is a necessary but often cumbersome task. Finding the perfect multi-purpose cleaner is a game-changer. It's about striking a balance between efficacy, environmental responsibility, and safety.

Our Multi-purpose GreenTabs represent this equilibrium, offering a cleaning solution that's not just effective but kind to the planet and your home.

Essential Qualities of a Multi-Purpose Cleaner

We believe the best multi purpose cleaner should be - 

  • Versatile
  • Eco-friendly & sustainable
  • Safe & Non-toxic
  • Efficient for daily use

We break down each of these in more detail below:

Versatility and Effectiveness:

An outstanding multi-purpose cleaner should be a jack-of-all-trades, adept at tackling various types of stains and messes on numerous surfaces.

It's not just about removing dirt; it's about doing so effectively without damaging the surfaces. This versatility is crucial, especially in households where diverse cleaning needs are the norm.

To make a multi purpose cleaner truly versatile, it needs to tick several boxes:

  1. Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: It should effectively tackle a range of common household stains and messes, such as grease, grime, food spills, and soap scum. This requires a balanced blend of ingredients that can break down different types of dirt and stains.
  2. Suitable for Multiple Surfaces: The cleaner should be safe and effective on a variety of surfaces, including glass, tile, wood, laminate, and metal. This means it should be gentle enough not to damage delicate surfaces but robust enough to clean effectively.
  3. Non-Corrosive and Non-Abrasive: To avoid damage to surfaces, a versatile cleaner should be free from harsh chemicals and abrasive substances. Ingredients should be chosen to ensure they don’t cause corrosion, discolouration, or wear on the surfaces being cleaned.
  4. Safe for Sensitive Areas: For use in kitchens and bathrooms, the cleaner should be safe for areas where food is prepared or where skin contact is likely. This means avoiding toxic chemicals that could leave harmful residues.
  5. Minimal Residue: After cleaning, the product should leave minimal or no residue, ensuring surfaces are not only clean but also streak-free and without a filmy layer, which is especially important for surfaces like glass or stainless steel.
  6. Odour-Neutralising: A good multi-purpose cleaner should not just mask but neutralise odours, leaving a fresh and clean scent without overpowering.
  7. Environmentally Friendly: Ideally, the cleaner should be biodegradable, avoiding harm to the environment when washed away. Eco-friendly packaging is also a plus, reducing plastic waste.

Versatility of Our Multi-purpose GreenTabs

In the case of our multi-purpose cleaner, the formulation with ingredients like Sodium carbonate and tartaric acid provides the necessary cleaning power while being gentle on various surfaces.

The absence of harsh chemicals makes it suitable for sensitive areas and ensures it’s environmentally friendly. These qualities combined make it a versatile option for different cleaning needs around the home.

Multi-purpose GreenTabs are formulated to address a wide range of organic stains, including kitchen grease, food spills, and everyday grime.

Their unique blend of sodium carbonate and tartaric acid makes them especially adept at breaking down these common household messes.

These ingredients ensure they work effectively across various surfaces, from kitchen counters to bathroom tiles, making them a go-to solution for all cleaning needs.

Our multi-purpose cleaner's residue-free quality is due to the carefully selected, natural ingredients:

  • Sodium Carbonate, the main cleaning agent, effectively cuts through grease and lifts dirt without leaving streaks.
  • Tartaric Acid, an organic acid, dissolves stubborn stains, ensuring surfaces are mark-free.
  • Mild, biodegradable surfactants like Sodium N-Lauroylsarcosinate and Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate remove dirt and grease efficiently, avoiding soapy or filmy residues.
  • Glycerin, a stabiliser, ensures even distribution, enhancing cleaning effectiveness and preventing streaking.

Together, these ingredients guarantee a spotless, shining finish on various surfaces, embodying efficiency and eco-friendliness in every clean.

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Cleaning

Eco-friendliness in cleaning products isn't just about the act of cleaning but also about the after-effects on the environment. An eco-friendly cleaner should have biodegradable ingredients and packaging that reduces waste.

  1. Biodegradable Ingredients: A formulation that includes ingredients known for their low toxicity and biodegradability is important.

    When these substances go down the drain, they break down more easily and rapidly in the environment compared to traditional, synthetic chemicals.

    This reduces their potential impact on aquatic life and ecosystems. The ingredients we use adhere to this approach.

  2. Reduced Chemical Load: By choosing ingredients with a lower toxicity score, the best multi purpose cleaners minimise the introduction of harsh chemicals into the environment.

    This is especially important for maintaining water quality and protecting aquatic habitats.

  3. Reusable Packaging: The innovative approach of providing a permanent bottle that can be reused with dissolvable tablets significantly reduces plastic waste.

    Traditional cleaning products often come in single-use plastic bottles, which contribute to plastic pollution and landfill waste.

    By reusing the same bottle and simply adding new tablets, you will minimise your environmental impact.

  4. Concentration and Shipping Efficiency: Shipping cleaning products in tablet form is more efficient and eco-friendly than liquid alternatives.

    Tablets are lighter and take up less space, reducing the carbon footprint associated with transportation.

    Additionally, because users add water at home, it eliminates the environmental cost of shipping water weight, which is a significant component of traditional liquid cleaners.

  5. Vegan and Natural Ingredients: The use of vegan and natural ingredients ensures that no animal-derived substances or harsh synthetic chemicals are involved in the production process.

    This approach aligns with our broader commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable practices.

The combination of biodegradable ingredients, a reusable bottle system, efficient shipping, and a commitment to natural, vegan ingredients makes our multi-purpose cleaner an eco-friendly choice.

It reflects a holistic approach to sustainability, addressing not just the cleaning process but also the product's life cycle and overall environmental impact.

Safe and Non-Toxic Multipurpose Cleaning Solutions

In homes with young children, pets, or individuals with allergies, the safety of cleaning products is paramount. Non-toxic cleaners ensure that your living space remains free from harmful chemicals that could cause health issues.

Certain chemicals in cleaning products can pose significant health risks.

  • Ammonia, found in glass cleaners and polishes, is a potent irritant that can affect the skin, eyes, throat, and lungs.

  • Chlorine bleach, used in disinfectants and mildew removers, can irritate the respiratory system and skin, particularly in poorly ventilated areas.

  • Phthalates, present in fragranced products like air fresheners, can disrupt hormonal balance and carry other health risks. Formaldehyde, a preservative in some cleaners, is a carcinogen that can cause allergic reactions.

It's important to choose multi-purpose cleaning products carefully to avoid these harmful substances, ensuring a safer home environment. The best multi purpose cleaners will not contain any of these ingredients.

Multi-purpose GreenTabs™ Safety Profile

Our blend of naturally derived ingredients like Sodium benzoate and Sodium phytate makes our multi purpose cleaner a safe option for homes needing a gentler touch.

They are devoid of the harsh chemicals found in many traditional cleaners, reducing the risk of irritations or allergies, and ensuring a safe environment for everyone in the household.

Everyday Cleaning Efficiency

Efficiency is key in daily cleaning tasks. An ideal multipurpose cleaner should not only be effective but also easy to use, leaving surfaces spotless without tedious scrubbing or leaving residue.

  1. Powerful Cleaning Agents: It should contain ingredients that are potent against a wide range of common household stains and dirt. This ensures effective cleaning without the need for excessive scrubbing.

  2. Surface Compatibility: The cleaner should be safe and effective on a variety of surfaces, from kitchen counters to bathroom tiles, without causing damage or discoloration.

  3. Quick Action: The formulation should act quickly to break down grime and grease, making the cleaning process faster and more efficient.
  4. No Residue: Post-cleaning, the product should leave surfaces clean and clear, without any filmy residue that requires additional wiping.
  5. Odour Elimination: Besides cleaning, it should neutralize odours, leaving a fresh and pleasant scent.
  6. Ease of Use: The cleaner should come in a convenient form, like a spray or dissolvable tablet, making it simple to apply and use regularly.
