Every ingredient, listed in full. Made in Australia.

Aqua (Deionised Water)Water

Evaporates fast, so glass and tapware dry without streaks.

Sodium Lauryl SulfateSurfactant

Lifts soap scum and body oils off tiles and glass.

Cocamidopropyl BetaineSurfactant

Helps the foam spread into grout lines rather than run off.

Sodium Xylene SulfonateFoam stabiliser

Helps the foam cling to a vertical shower wall.

Sodium Metasilicate PentahydrateBuilder

Cuts through soap scum and organic matter so it's easier to clean.

Trisodium Dicarboxymethyl AlaninateWater softener

Polyacrylic Acid Sodium SaltDispersant

Holds lifted grime in the foam so it rinses away.

Xanthan GumThickener

PhenoxyethanolPreservative

Keeps the formula stable for 12 months.

LipaseEnzyme

Breaks down the body oils and fats in soap scum.

Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E)Antioxidant

Does it contain ethanol, and will I smell it?

✓ Yes, it's the solvent

Ethanol cuts oils and helps the foam spread evenly across a shower wall. There's no added fragrance, so the light clean smell you notice while spraying is the ethanol. It fades as the surface dries.

No added fragrance Fades as it dries

What's the shelf life and origin?

Shelf life

About 12 months

From manufacture, sealed, cool and out of direct sunlight.

Made in

Australia

Created and quality-tested in Australia.

How long a box lasts

About 6 months

One box, weekly cleans, average home. Heavier use runs shorter.

⚠ Two storage notes worth knowing

Don't freeze it and don't leave it in a hot car or on a sunny windowsill. Heat and freezing both work against the thickener and the enzyme, and a box that has been through either can look or pour differently. Store it sealed at room temperature and it behaves the same on the last spray as the first.
