28 Nov Clean home, clean ocean: Meet the revolutionary plastic-free plant-based disinfectant cleaning refill
If you’re looking for a sustainable surface disinfectant for the whole home, which uses zero plastic and kills 99.9% of bacteria and viruses such as Covid-19, look no further.
OceanSaver has launched a brand new Pink Grapefruit Disinfectant Surface Cleaner Refill, which you simply pop into a spray bottle, mix with water then use – massively cutting down on plastic waste.
It’s suitable for use anywhere in the home including counter tops, bins, toilets, door handles and even high chairs, thanks to its non-toxic plant-based ingredients.
The refill is made of a water soluble film which fully dissolves and leaves behind no microplastics. The surface cleaner is also vegan and never tested on animals.
To use, you simply place one refill into a clean 500ml spray bottle and fill to the top with water, screw on the spray-top and shake. Leave to stand until the drop is fully dissolved, then spray from a distance of 20cm before wiping down with a clean, damp cloth.
Sarah Gilling, managing director, OceanSaver, commented: “Being eco-friendly doesn’t mean you have to compromise on the cleanliness of your home. OceanSaver’s new Pink Grapefruit Disinfectant Surface Cleaner Refill is tough against most bacteria and viruses so you can be safe in the knowledge that you’re keeping your family safe while also helping to preserve the environment, by reducing your use of single use plastics.
“A typical trigger spray includes 90% water but our clever refills cuts this out. Sending just one truck of OceanSaver refills to a supermarket is the equivalent of 12 trucks compared to a leading competitor brand. It’s a no brainer: plastic saved, carbon emissions saved, oceans saved.”
OceanSaver’s Pink Grapefruit Disinfectant Surface Cleaner Refill is available for just £1.75 from Tesco, Ocado, Abel & Cole, Amazon and the OceanSaver website. It can also be purchased in a five pack bundle for £8.50 or a 12 pack for £19.50. The Disinfectant Cleaner Starter Kit includes two refills and a reusable bottle made out of 100% recycled ocean plastic, and is priced at £5.99.
