Environmentally Conscious Cleaning

Keeping clean doesn’t have to mean multiple bottles of mostly water coming into your home full and leaving empty each week. With Arm & Hammer Essentials Refillable Cleaners you buy the bottle once and then purchase small refills when the spray bottle runs out. There are three types of spray cleaners:-- Multi Surface, Glass, Cleaner & Degreaser.
The cleaners combine powerful plant-based and other biodegradable cleaners and environmentally sound packaging to help us develop cleaner, greener cleaning habits. And they do the job.


First you buy an ARM & HAMMER® Essentials™ Cleaners Starter Kit, which contains an empty trigger spray bottle and one cartridge of concentrated cleaners. You fill the spray bottle with tap water and add the concentrate to the bottle. When you run out of cleaner, you buy refill cartridges—not a new bottle. The bottle can be used at least seven times before it can be recycled.

It’s a way to save money and the environment. You will be helping to cut down on landfill waste because the refill 2-pack uses 93 percent less plastic and 80 percent less packaging than standard, pre-filled 32 oz. cleaners.

And those little power-packed cartridges are easy to carry and use. Who needs heavy bottles that, honestly, contain mostly water anyway? Get the concentrate and fill them up at home.

  1. I tried these cleaners--after reading about them here. I had seen them before but wasn't sure if they were for me. I love them--what a great idea!

  2. Call me lazy but I thought it was too much trouble to "make my own" spray cleaners. But, you are right--it is easier to carry an empty bottle and fill it at home and the refills are so small they are convenient. Count me in, after all. Thanks.

  3. My water is very acid and the glass partition in the bath has droplets "etched" on it. None of the glass cleaners I've tried have removed them. Does anyone know of a glass polish with just enough grit to take those out without scratching the glass itself? I'm willing to expend the elbow grease to buff, I just want them gone.
