How To Make All Purpose Cleaner

A streak-free, alcohol-enhanced cleaner — scent it, dilute it, and sell it.

what you'll need

• Concentrated All Purpose Cleaner Base
• Fragrance oil of your choice
• Spray bottles (16–32 oz)
• Measuring containers
• Mixing bucket
• Labels with dilution ratio

step-by-step instructions

1. Step 1. Start with the concentrate: add up to 3.0% fragrance oil (0.25 oz per 8 oz of concentrate). Mix gently until uniform.
2. Step 2. Dilute 1 part scented concentrate with 16 parts water. Example: 8 oz concentrate + 120 oz water = 128 oz finished cleaner.
3. Step 3. Stir the diluted batch gently to combine.
4. Step 4. Bottle into labeled spray containers. Mark as ready-to-use — no further dilution needed by the customer.
5. Step 5. Test on a small area before full production runs to confirm streak-free performance.
