How to use it
- Ensure your existing floor bucket or spray bottle is clean and dry.
- Dilute the concentrate: use approximately 2 caps of liquid per 5 litres of warm water.
- For stubborn stains, apply a small amount of neat liquid directly to a damp cloth.
- Mop or wipe the surface as usual; no rinsing is required.
- Allow the floor to air dry for a streak-free finish.
Warning
Always test on an inconspicuous area when cleaning unsealed natural stone or wood to ensure compatibility with the plant-based oils.

FAQ
Is this product safe for pets?
Yes, it is completely non-toxic and safe for paws once dry. Unlike many traditional floor cleaners that contain harsh phenols or bleach, Miniml uses natural surfactants that won't irritate your pets if they walk on the floor shortly after cleaning.
Can I use this on real wood floors?
It depends on the finish. It is safe for sealed wood floors when properly diluted. However, for unsealed or waxed wood, we recommend using a specialist oil-based cleaner to avoid stripping the natural finish.
How does the 'closed-loop' return system work?
Once you have finished the 5L container, you can check the Miniml website for local refill stations or follow their instructions to post the empty bottle back to their Yorkshire factory for cleaning and reuse.

How to choose home & cleaning
Match the cleaner to the surface and the task. Concentration, dosage and the cost of a usable refill matter more than an attractive bottle or a vague eco claim.
| Check before buying | Why it matters | Trade-off or limit |
|---|---|---|
| Surface compatibility and dilution | Read the directions for stone, wood, fabrics and sealed surfaces. | A multipurpose cleaner may not replace a specialist product for every task. |
| Cost per diluted bottle or wash | Account for the stated dose and any reusable bottle you must buy. | A low pack price can hide fewer effective uses. |
| Storage and safety instructions | Check ventilation, child-safe storage and disposal guidance. | Eco-labelled products still need careful handling; never mix cleaning chemicals. |
Common mistake: Do not equate fragrance-free, biodegradable or plant-based wording with harmlessness to people, pets or waterways.
