Concentrate & Wipes
How does a cleaning concentrate work?
A concentrate is a highly potent cleaning formula you dilute with tap water at home before use. Instead of shipping you mostly water in a plastic bottle, we ship you the active ingredients and you add water yourself.
One 32oz bottle of Scrunchy Living concentrate makes up to 16 spray bottles (24 oz each) of all-purpose cleaner — at about $3.69 per fill, compared to $6 or more for a typical store-bought spray.
What are the dilution ratios?
- All-purpose spray (counters, bathrooms, glass): 2 oz (12 tsp) concentrate, then fill your 24oz bottle with water (1:11)
- Foaming hand soap: 2 oz concentrate, then fill your 10oz pump bottle with water (1:4)
- Mop bucket (sealed floors): 1–2 tsp concentrate per gallon of water
- Laundry: 1–2 tsp per load
The Starter Kit bottles have the fill lines printed right on them — no measuring needed. Just add concentrate to the line, fill with water, and go. For routine cleaning, always dilute first — straight concentrate is for targeted stain pre-treatment on durable surfaces only, per the Starter Kit guide.
What surfaces can I use the concentrate on?
Kitchen counters, stovetops, appliance exteriors, microwaves, bathroom sinks, tile, toilet exteriors, sealed hardwood floors, high chair trays, crib rails, and pet areas.
Not recommended for: unsealed stone (marble, travertine), wood furniture (use sparingly and wipe dry immediately), cast iron cookware.
Is it safe to use around kids and pets?
Yes. All Scrunchy Living products are formulated without quats (quaternary ammonium compounds), synthetic fragrance, bleach, alcohol, parabens, and dyes — the ingredients most commonly associated with respiratory irritation and skin sensitization in children and animals.
As with any cleaning product, store out of reach of children and avoid eye contact.
Are the wipes flushable?
Are the wipes safe on food-contact surfaces?
Yes — the wipes are appropriate for food-contact surfaces. Rinse after wiping, before food touches the surface. The formula contains no harsh solvents, no synthetic fragrance, no bleach, and no quats.
What fiber are the wipes made from?
100% cotton. Not polyester, rayon, or polypropylene nonwoven fiber. Cotton is naturally soft, biodegradable, and does not release microplastics the way synthetic fiber wipes do.
Can I use these products with a septic system?
Yes. The formula contains no bleach, no quats, and no phosphates — the ingredients most likely to disrupt septic bacteria. The brightening powder uses sodium percarbonate (a bleach-free oxygen brightener), which is also septic-safe.
Getting Started
What comes in the Starter Kit?

When does the Starter Kit ship?
Kits ship by December 1. Your 30-day Love-Your-Clean Guarantee starts the day it's delivered — not the day you order.
Is the Starter Kit a subscription?
No — the kit is a one-time purchase. When you run low on concentrate or powder, you can reorder them individually or subscribe to either at 15% off.
What if I don't love the Starter Kit?
Try it for 30 days from delivery. If your home doesn't feel at least as clean as before, email support@scrunchyliving.com and we'll refund your kit — no awkward questions.
What's In It
What are quats and why aren't they in your products?
Quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) — including benzalkonium chloride — are disinfecting agents found in most conventional cleaning wipes and sprays. They've been associated with respiratory sensitization, skin irritation, and concerns about contributing to antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Scrunchy Living products remove dirt and grime using plant-derived surfactants instead. No disinfecting claims, no quat residue on the surfaces your family touches.
Where can I see the full ingredient list?
Full ingredient disclosure for every product is at scrunchyliving.com/pages/ingredients, as required by California's Cleaning Product Right to Know Act (SB 258).
Is Scrunchy Living EWG Verified?
Our All-Purpose Cleaning Wipes are officially EWG Verified. Our Multi-Surface Concentrate is formulated to the same EWG standards and is in the verification process now. Every ingredient in our Brightening Powder is EWG A-rated.
I have a latex or banana allergy. Can I use these products?
