Sustainability — Our Commitment to the Environment

Our Commitment to the Environment

Natural cleaning shouldn't cost the earth. Here's what we do differently.

The problem with most cleaning products

A typical Australian cleaning cupboard contains 12–20 different products. Most are more than 90% water. You're not just paying for water — you're paying to have that water shipped in a single-use plastic bottle from a factory to a warehouse to a supermarket to your home, just to be poured down the drain.

It's an enormous amount of packaging waste, carbon emissions, and synthetic chemicals entering our waterways for products that do, fundamentally, the same job.

The Orange Kleen approach

Concentrate first

Our 1L concentrate replaces 33 bottles of ready-to-use cleaner. That's 32 fewer plastic bottles per household, per purchase. Fewer bottles means less plastic, less packaging, less weight to ship, and a smaller carbon footprint end to end.

One product, every room

The concentrate works on every surface in your home. You don't need a separate bathroom cleaner, kitchen cleaner, floor cleaner, window cleaner and degreaser. One bottle replaces the lot. Less product variety means less chemical diversity entering your home and leaving through your drains.

Biodegradable formula

Every ingredient in Orange Kleen concentrate is biodegradable. Orange oil (d-limonene) breaks down naturally in the environment. Our surfactants are plant-derived and do not persist in soil or waterways. This makes Orange Kleen safe for greywater systems, septic tanks, and garden runoff.

No synthetic chemicals in waterways

Chlorine, bleach, ammonia, phosphates and synthetic fragrances from conventional cleaners accumulate in waterways and harm aquatic ecosystems. Orange Kleen contains none of these. What goes down your drain is citrus oil, plant-derived surfactants, and water — the same things found in nature.

Microfibre, not disposable wipes

Our microfibre cloths and mop pads are designed to last hundreds of washes. They replace single-use paper towels and disposable wipes. One microfibre cloth does the work of hundreds of paper towels — and leaves no paper waste.
