Wondertablitz All Purpose Cleaner spray bottle
Distributor: C.L. Smith Company
Wondertablitz All Purpose Cleaner (Wondertablitz LLC) products are environmentally smart and come in a spray bottle that includes a recessed area that holds three refill tablets (each tablet is concentrated cleaner).
To access tablets, users peel back the label and remove one tablet from a blister pack and then replace unused tablets in the bottle’s storage cavity. They insert one tablet into an opening on the side of the bottle, which also allows easy access to add water from most faucets. Mixing one tablet with water equals 32-ounces of cleaner.
Having the refill recess area built into the bottle reduces the use of plastic by almost 66%. The Wondertablitz system allows for less weight and space in shipping. These bottles and their products meet requirements of “sustainability,” recyclability, are environmentally-friendly and safe to use. The translucent bottle colors allow the product level to show through and one package yields 96-ounces of product instead of one-time usage of 32-ounces.
