What Is A Universal Cleaner?
Ever stood in front of a crowded cleaning aisle at the supermarket, wondering why you need five different sprays for five different surfaces? You’re not alone.
But the good news? You don’t actually need to buy all of those products.
Enter: universal cleaner (AKA multipurpose cleaner).
This one hardworking, overachieving product cleans multiple surfaces effectively, with less waste, and more ease.
So what is a universal cleaner, really? And do you actually need one in your home? Let’s break it down
What is a Universal Cleaner?
A universal cleaner is a single cleaning solution designed to tackle a wide range of surfaces, wherever life gets messy (the whole home!), think kitchen, sink, stove, bathroom, spills and more.
Unlike traditional cleaners, which are designed for single use (such as glass cleaners or stovetop sprays), a universal cleaner streamlines your routine by doing more with less.
At Thankyou, our Universal Cleaner is powered by plant-based ingredients that work hard on everyday mess while being gentle on the planet.
Small bottle, big impact.
Simplicity
Fewer products = less to store, buy, and remember. One bottle 🤝 One whole house clean.
Less waste
By switching to a multipurpose product, you reduce the number of plastic bottles in your home. Bonus points if you refill it! Double bonus points if you use an environmentally friendly refill option, like the Thankyou reusable spray Forever Bottles, paired with a Universal Cleaner Refill. Our refill system has been designed to promote circularity, with the recyclable refill bottles made from 100% recycled high-value HDPE, helping to contribute to a healthier planet.
Better for you (and the planet)
Our Universal Cleaner is made without harsh chemicals. That means no synthetic fragrances or unnecessary irritants, just plant-based cleaning power that’s safe to use around your family.
Cost-effective
Instead of buying five products, you buy one. AND that one product can be diluted!
Our dilution system is designed to be good for your home and your pocket.
When diluted 1:3 to an antibacterial household grade cleaner, our cleaner costs $0.33 per 100 mL, compared to leading supermarket brand cleaners at an average of $1.08 per 100 mL.
It’s even more cost-effective when diluted 1:9 to antibacterial floor and window cleaner, costing $0.13 per 100mL, while others on the market range from $0.80 — $1.20.
Join the dilution revolution so you can clean more, for less!
World-changing
When you purchase this cleaning product, you’re not just purchasing a cleaning product; you’re joining a movement, too. A movement that has raised $18.57 million through the collective power of small steps, like purchasing a product from our cleaning range, or a hand or body wash. Every product exists to help end extreme poverty, and together, we’re moving closer to seeing this mission realised.
How to use your Universal Cleaner
Using a universal cleaner is as easy as spray, wipe, and done. Here's how to get the most out of it:
- Spray directly onto hard surfaces (think: benches, sinks, tiles)
- Use a Thankyou microfibre cloth to wipe down, lifting grime without needing to scrub
- For a tougher mess, let the spray sit for 30 seconds before wiping
So…do you actually need one?
If you’re looking for fewer bottles, less waste, and more impact from your cleaning routine, then, in our opinion, yes…you probably do!
Our Thankyou Universal Cleaner is made to simplify cleaning without compromising on performance. It's a small switch that can cause some pretty big change; not just for your cleaning routine, but for humanity, too.
