Is Bathroom & Shower Cleaner eco-certified?

Yes. Bathroom & Shower Cleaner is independently certified under the GECA Cleaning Products Standard, assessed by accredited third-party auditors (not a self-claim). GECA assesses across four pillars: human health (toxicity, sensitisation), environmental impact (biodegradability, aquatic toxicity, ingredient sourcing), cleaning performance (it has to actually work), and packaging (recyclability, material choice). Also Sensitive Choice approved by the National Asthma Council Australia.

What makes the formula eco-friendly?

Bathroom & Shower Cleaner is designed without the ingredients most flagged for environmental harm. No chlorine bleach, no phosphates, no quaternary ammonium disinfectants, no synthetic fragrances, no VOCs. The surfactants are biodegradable, so they break down after use rather than persisting in waterways. The formula is septic-safe, grey-water friendly, and gentle enough to be dermatologically tested. Lower-impact cleaning doesn't mean compromised cleaning, it means effective cleaning with less baggage.

✓ Formula principles

Biodegradable surfactants. No chlorine, phosphates, quats, synthetic fragrance, or VOCs. Septic-safe and grey-water friendly. Designed to rinse clean and break down in the environment.

What about the packaging?

Bathroom & Shower Cleaner comes in a bag-in-box (BIB) format, not a rigid bottle. The outer box is cardboard. The inner bladder is a thin flexible polypropylene (PP) bag. That combination uses significantly less plastic per litre than a traditional hard plastic bottle, and the cardboard outer collapses flat for recycling. The inner bladder can be recycled through soft plastic collection stream drop-off points at participating supermarkets. This is part of why BIB hits GECA's packaging criteria where many conventional cleaners don't.

✓ Outer box

Cardboard. Kerbside recyclable in your standard household recycling bin. Flattens for efficient disposal.

✓ Inner bladder

Flexible polypropylene (PP). Soft plastic stream at participating stores. Uses a fraction of the plastic of a traditional rigid bottle.

How can I clean with an even lighter footprint?

A few small habits compound. Use the recommended dose (more product doesn't mean more clean). Let foam dwell for a few minutes before scrubbing, that way the product does the work and you use less. Pair with washable tools like Ultra Pro Bathroom Mitt instead of single-use disposables. Rinse with cool or lukewarm water where suitable to save energy. Refill on Subscribe & Save to cut down on shipping footprint per unit.

✓ Lighter-footprint cleaning habits

1

Dose correctly. Use the recommended amount. More product doesn't equal better clean.

2

Let dwell time do the work. Foam, wait, then agitate. Chemistry plus patience means less scrubbing and less product.

3

Washable tools. Ultra Pro Bathroom Mitt replaces stacks of disposable wipes.

4

Cool rinse, Subscribe & Save. Cool or lukewarm water where suitable. Subscription cuts shipping footprint per unit.
