Change the way you clean
Plastic was designed to last forever, yet it's mostly used for single-use items. Over 8 billion tons of plastic waste—like that iced coffee cup from last week or the toothbrush you used as a child—still exist on the planet. Every year, 14 billion tonnes of rubbish are dumped into the ocean, with devastating effects on wildlife. In Australia, studies have found plastic in 100% of marine turtles, 59% of whales, 36% of seals, and 40% of seabird species examined.
Cleaning up our planet begins at home. Traditional cleaning products, often packaged in single-use plastic bottles, contribute significantly to this problem. By switching to products in reusable bottles, using biodegradable sponges, and choosing natural ingredients, we can greatly reduce the amount of single-use plastic waste in Australia. Embracing products made from natural materials is a small yet crucial step toward a more sustainable lifestyle and a healthier planet.

How It Works
Making your Eco Turtle product is easy.
1. Fill your Eco Turtle Reusable Spray Bottle with tap water.
2. Drop in the tablet
3. Leave the top off and wait a few minutes for the tablet to completely dissolve – you don’t need to shake or stir the bottle. Start using the product!
We recommend that you finish using the cleaning liquid in your bottle and rinsing it with clean water before creating another bottle of solution with a new tablet. Each refill pack is designed to be dissolved in water to create 750ml of cleaner, matching the exact amount of solution our bottle is designed to hold.
No! Just dissolve the tablet in your Eco Turtles Reusable Spray Bottle filled with 750ml of tap water for a few minutes–no shaking or stirring needed!
When our tablets are put into water, they create carbon dioxide (CO2), which are the bubbles that you see. Because our tablets bubble when they dissolve, there is no need for you to shake or stir and it is important to leave the top off until the tablet has completely dissolved.
Transporting liquid is costly and uses excessive amounts of fuel. We don’t want you to pay for shipping liquids around the world and we want to minimise our carbon footprint.
Each tablet is designed to produce the perfect amount of cleaning solution for your Eco Turtles Reusable Spray Bottle. One Multipurpose, Degreaser, Sanitiser, Floors, Glass or Bathroom cleaner tablet makes 750ml of cleaning solution.
It depends on what you use it for, how often you clean, and the size of your home and family. If you need more help on identifying how many refill packs you should purchase, get in touch with our customer success team via email –customer@urbanethos.com.au
The solution in our bottles should last you a similar length of time as a 750ml bottle of traditional cleaning spray. How long one bottle’s worth of solution lasts depends on how often you clean, how much is used, plus the size of your home and family. If you need more help identifying which products you should purchase, get in touch with our customer success team and we’ll do our very best to assist you! We hope to have you cleaning with us very soon!
Our Eco Turtles Reusable Spray Bottle is designed to be used over and over again. We don't want you throwing it away. Unlike many conventional disposable cleaning bottles, there is no risk of leaching with continued re-use.
The spray bottle is made from high-grade, highly durable PET plastic that’s ultra-durable and designed not to crack or break when dropped. This means that you can refill your bottle again and again without cracking, splitting, or breaking.
One cleaning tablet makes 750ml of cleaning solution.
For our cleaners, we recommend you use our Eco Turtles Reusable Spray Bottle with our eco tablets as we specifically designed them for a great consumer experience. Our bottles are colour coded for easy reference, shatterproof, specifically designed for re-use, will not leak over time and 100% recyclable.
You can use a different Eco Turtle Reusable Spray Bottle with a different tablet pack but the labels printed on the bottles are permanent so we suggest you re-label or keep in mind which cleaner you are using with your bottle. Our Multipurpose cleaning solution is blue, our Sanitiser cleaning solution is dark green, our Floor cleaning solution is light green, our Degreaser cleaning solution is orange, and our Bathroom cleaning solution is purple – each spray bottle is colour coded to match the colour of each cleaning solution.
That’s OK, it’s simply a little bit of undissolved debris from the tablet. These will dissolve with a little more time.
