Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to mainstream refillable all-purpose cleaners like Method Pink Grapefruit Refill (which still uses plastic pouches), Branch Basics eliminates plastic entirely with its glass starter bottle. It also outpaces Blueland Multi-surface Spray Cleaner in versatility, as the concentrate can be used for glass, floors, and bathrooms, whereas Blueland’s tablets are surface-specific. The unscented formula is a major plus for those who react to fragrances in Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day.

How to use it

1. Fill the provided glass spray bottle with tap water up to the fill line.
2. Add the entire 8 oz concentrate to the water (no shaking required).
3. Screw on the metal trigger nozzle and give one gentle shake.
4. Spray on countertops, glass, stovetops, or bathroom fixtures.
5. Wipe with a clean cloth; no rinsing needed for most surfaces.
6. Refill by purchasing additional concentrate pouches (plastic-free) and reusing the same bottle.
