FAQ
Are plant-based cleaning sprays as effective as standard ones?+
Modern plant-based formulas like Method and Ecover perform well on everyday grease and grime and are safe on sealed worktops. For tougher jobs such as baked-on oven grease, a stronger dedicated product like Astonish Oven & Grill Cleaner still outperforms general-purpose eco sprays.
Is buying a refill pack actually cheaper?+
Yes — a 5L refill such as the Ecover Multi-Surface Cleaner typically works out significantly cheaper per spray than buying individual 500ml bottles repeatedly, and it cuts down on single-use plastic packaging.
