Key features & specs

How it compares

When compared to traditional blue-liquid sprays found in grocery stores, the Grove Co. Glass Cleaner Concentrate Refill stands out by removing the water—which accounts for 90% of a standard bottle's weight—thereby reducing shipping emissions. It performs similarly to professional-grade ammonia-based cleaners but uses plant-derived surfactants to achieve a streak-free finish on mirrors and windows. Unlike many bulk plastic gallon refills, this product utilizes infinitely recyclable glass vials, making it a leader in the zero-waste cleaning movement.

How to use it

1. Carefully pour one entire 1-ounce glass vial of concentrate into a 16-ounce reusable spray bottle.
2. Fill the remainder of the bottle with tap or distilled water, leaving an inch of space at the top.
3. Gently swirl the bottle to ensure the concentrate and water are fully integrated.
4. Spray directly onto glass, mirrors, or stainless steel surfaces.
5. Wipe immediately with a clean microfiber cloth or lint-free towel for best results.
6. Recycle the small glass vial and paper sleeve in your standard curbside bin.
