Meliora All-Purpose Home Cleaner, Unscented (Spray Bottle Kit)

1. Ingredients 35% of the rating 5 of 5

   One ingredient family, fully named on the label (a coconut-oil soap with glycerin), with no fragrance, dye, preservative, solvent or ethoxylated surfactant.

2. Cleans well 20% of the rating 2 of 5

   We found no independent cleaning test of it, and Meliora says it works on wood, stone, metal and glass without giving a test or a hard-water result.

3. Independent testing 15% of the rating 3 of 5

   MADE SAFE lists it, which screens ingredients and is paid for by the maker, and Meliora also cites an A from EWG’s ingredient guide that we could not open, but there is no lab test of the finished tablet.

4. Trust 10% of the rating 4 of 5

   It names every ingredient, says plainly that a mixed spray is good for six months and calls “non-toxic” an unregulated term, with no recall or lawsuit found, and it states openly that it pays affiliates a 10% commission.

5. Value 20% of the rating 4 of 5

   A $5.99 box of three tablets makes 48 fl oz, about $2 per 16 fl oz bottle, and the first kit costs $15.99 because it includes the glass bottle and sprayer.

The rating, 3.8 of 5, is the weighted average of these scores. See how we rank cleaning & laundry and our standard.

• Plastic Free Pursuit (opens in a new tab) approx. $15.99. Online shop that Meliora lists as a stockist. The same kit: glass bottle, sprayer and three refill tablets. It is the only store we found that sells the kit as one item; the two shops below sell the bottle and the refill tablets separately.
• Volverde (opens in a new tab) approx. $10.99 for the 16 fl oz glass bottle with 1 tablet; $5.99 for 3 refill tablets. An online shop for zero-waste home goods that Meliora lists as an online retailer. The unscented cleaner is sold in two pieces, not as the kit, so a bottle plus the three refill tablets comes to about $16.98, a little above the maker’s $15.99.
• ECOccasion (opens in a new tab) approx. $12.99 for the glass bottle with 1 tablet; $6.00 for 3 refill tablets. A home-goods shop in Andover, Minnesota that Meliora lists as an online retailer, with in-store pickup. The bottle with one tablet and the three-tablet refill pack are separate choices, about $18.99 together against the maker’s $15.99 kit.

• Paid certification MADE SAFE (MADEWORKS Intelligence)

  Lists Meliora’s All-Purpose Home Cleaner among its certified products. MADE SAFE screens each ingredient against its banned and restricted substances list. It does not test the finished tablet or say how well it cleans. MADE SAFE also takes policy positions: it co-signed a petition led by Blueland asking EPA to require PVA testing, which EPA denied in 2023. Open ↗ (opens in a new tab)

Does a preservative-free spray grow bacteria or mold?

Meliora says the dry tablets need no preservative and that a mixed bottle should be used within 6 months, then emptied and refilled with a new tablet. We found no test of how a mixed bottle holds up. Our guide to “clean” and “natural” labels warns that preservative-free, water-based products can grow microbes. Mix small batches.

Does it disinfect?

No. It has no EPA registration number and makes no germ claim. Our guide to bleach and disinfectants covers when you need one.

Does it clean as well as the sprays I know?

We could not find an independent test, and Meliora’s page gives none. It tells you to try it on a hidden spot first. The reviews on its own site are the maker’s reviews.

Do the people recommending it get paid?

Meliora has an affiliate program (opens in a new tab): 10% commission and a coupon code for creators with 1,000 or more followers. Mamavation offers readers a 10% code on Meliora’s laundry powder, and its laundry post (opens in a new tab) says it contains affiliate links.

• MADE SAFE’s directory lists Meliora’s All-Purpose Home Cleaner among eight Meliora products shown as certified.
• The unscented cleaner is one ingredient family, printed on the label: vegetable soap (potassium cocoate, sodium cocoate, glycerin, organic coconut oil, water). It lists no fragrance.
• It is concentrated: each tablet makes a 16 fl oz bottle, so a three-tablet refill box ($5.99) makes 48 fl oz, about $2 a bottle.
• Meliora says the tablets are preservative-free, and the refills come in a recyclable paperboard box.

• It is a cleaner, not a disinfectant. It has no EPA registration number and makes no germ claim, so use a different product if you need to kill germs.
• The only independent mark we could confirm is MADE SAFE. EPA’s Safer Choice table has no Meliora rows, and EWG Verified lists none of its cleaners.
• The page says it works on wood, stone, metal and glass, but gives no test and does not say how it performs in hard water.
• The first purchase is a kit with a glass bottle and a plastic sprayer. The glass can break.
