Size 600 mL

Scent Grapefruit + Bergamot (shown); also available in Rosemary + Peppermint

Ingredients Purified water, alkyl polyglucoside, lactic acid, ethyl alcohol, cocamidopropyl betaine, essential oils of grapefruit, bergamot and ginger, xanthan gum, caprylyl glycol, phenoxyethanol.

Features All ingredients are plant-based and naturally derived. The solution must be diluted before use (1 to 2 tbsp in 4 L of water) and can be used on all non-porous surfaces, but should not be used on wax-finished hardwood surfaces.

Pros “It works equally as well as those we’ve been using but with a much more pleasant smell. The instructions were easy and included full disclosure of ingredients right on the label. My husband said, ‘It works great and it even got the Sharpie off the table!”

Cons “I don’t think it’s available in stores on the East Coast (note: Sapadilla is available nationally through online retailers), but I hope it will make its way out here soon.”

Rating 10/10
