Supermarket sprays are mostly water, over 90%, in a new bottle. Refill brands sell you their product again and again, in small doses. We give you the ingredients and the know-how, so you buy less and save more.
| Supermarket sprays | Eco & refill brands | Bottle and Mix | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you pay for | The brand, the bottle and over 90% water | A premium price for a small refill | Pure ingredients. You add the water |
| The bottle | A new plastic bottle every time | A refillable bottle | A 500 ml glass bottle with a silicone boot, for keeps |
| What it cleans | One job per bottle | Mostly surfaces | Multipurpose ingredients with hundreds of uses |
| What’s inside | A long ingredients list, often with synthetic fragrance and dyes | A ready-made formula with factory-made surfactants | Real soap and single natural ingredients. You choose the scent. |
| Packaging | Plastic | Sachets, pods or pouches | Compostable pouches and glass |
| Know-how | “Spray and wipe” | Instructions for their product | Tested recipes and the science behind them |
| How often you buy | Every few weeks | Often on subscription | Hardly ever. One pouch makes up to 25 bottles. |
| Designed to… | Keep you buying | Keep you subscribed | Help you need less |
The real difference? Bottle and Mix isn’t a product designed to bring you back every month. Buying less means less packaging, less transport and less waste. That’s better for your wallet and for the planet.
“I love your stuff. I just haven’t been back because it lasts forever.”
A customer at our market stallA word from the founder
I’m not trying to sell you more. I’m trying to help you need less.
That’s why every recipe and guide on this website is free.
10 safe and simple recipes to replace most of your shop-bought cleaners.
Bottle and Mix was born from a personal need. Eczema, allergies and products full of mystery perfumes led me to make my own cleaners, and they worked.
What I wanted was simple: natural, transparent and effective cleaning that doesn’t cost the earth, literally or figuratively.
The secret is knowledge. Once you know what a few simple ingredients can do, you need fewer products, save money and start trusting yourself again.
For me, success isn’t selling more. It’s inspiring a shift in how we consume, because what we buy today shapes the world we leave behind.
“Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.”
