To mix a bottle of cleaning spray, remove the sprayer and fill the bottle mostly full with warm water. Do not use very hot or boiling water. Replace the sprayer and shake the bottle gently to dissolve the tablet. It may take up to an hour for the tablet to dissolve fully.

Our vegan, plant-based Vegetable Soap is made from organic coconut oil that is processed into soap, resulting in the following ingredients:.

Potassium Cocoate and Sodium Cocoate are the chemical names of organic coconut oil that is saponified, or 'made into soap’. It's the chemical that grabs onto both dirt and water to do the cleaning.

Glycerin is chemically a type of alcohol and is naturally created when the oil is converted into soap. Glycerin is known for skin-softening abilities and is an effective solvent, meaning it can dissolve substances such as stains and dirt. We do not add any additional glycerin to our soap. 100% of the glycerin present is a byproduct of the soapmaking process, vegan, and cruelty-free.

Organic Cocos Nucifera, or organic coconut oil, is left in the soap after conversion to sodium cocoate. This is because we use sodium hydroxide, or lye, in the conversion process, and leaving excess oil ensures there is no remaining lye in the finished product. Our coconut soap has only a very small amount of excess oil, so it is designed to get tough jobs done without leaving oil behind on your clothes or in your washer.

Water is used in the soapmaking process to dissolve the lye and help evenly mix the oils and lye together for a complete saponification reaction. After saponification is complete, the water evaporates. There is only about 5% water in the finished soap, making it more shelf stable than a liquid soap that would require a preservative due to the high percentage (about 60%) of water.

Meliora is a Chicago-based company whose factory on the West Side of Chicago does everything from making soap to packaging finished products. It all started when Kate, while studying for a Masters degree in Environmental Engineering, struggled to understand what ingredients were in everyday household cleaning products such as laundry detergent. After formulating her own vegetable soap and using it to do her own laundry, she knew she could offer better products that were rooted in simple ingredients and build a company that was honest about how products are made. Meliora’s home cleaning and laundry products are MADE SAFE certified, ensuring they're as friendly for your home and the planet as possible. Meliora is a Certified B Corporation and is 1% for the planet.
