Vera Concentrate is mixed with clean water. The spray bottles are marked, so there's nothing to measure.

How to refill a Clean Kit bottle

  1. Water to the line on the label

    Fill the bottle to the line indicator on the label with clean water.

  2. Concentrate to the line on the neck

    Top up with your concentrate to the embossed line on the neck. Go slowly and use the pump to reduce the amount of foam.

  3. Refill when it runs low

    Refill with Vera Concentrate only when you need to. The bottles are designed to be used for years.

What each Kit colour is for

One colour for each job. Use the matching cloth, so the bathroom cloth never ends up in the kitchen.

Blue

General surface

Benchtops, tables, windows, mirrors, keyboards and devices, plus soft surfaces and fabrics.

  • Spray, wait 3 to 10 seconds, then wipe with the blue cloth.
  • Fabrics and soft surfaces: spray and scrub.
  • First clean: leave it on for 1 to 3 minutes to lift built-up grime.

Green

Kitchen and food prep

Benches, food prep areas, fridge shelves, cupboards, chopping boards, sinks, cookware, cups and tea stains.

  • Spray, wait 15 seconds, then wipe with the green cloth. Burnt stains: leave up to 10 minutes.

Old and tough stains, chewing gum, sticky residue, ovens, pet and bodily fluid accidents, pillow marks and dog bedding.

  • Clear away any mess and rinse with water. Spray well, leave 3 to 5 minutes, scrub if needed, then wipe dry with paper towel, not a microfibre cloth.

Common questions

No. Mixing cleaning products can give off harmful fumes, and Vera works on its own. If a surface has another product on it, rinse that off first.

We also don’t recommend adding essential oils. Vera is fragrance-free on purpose, because fragrance is a common trigger for asthma and sensitive skin.

Vera is made to be gentle. It has no alcohol, fragrance or dyes, which are the most common causes of skin and breathing reactions. It’s also non-corrosive, non-flammable and leaves no fumes.

Many of our customers have asthma, allergies or sensitive skin. As with any cleaning product, keep it out of reach of children and follow the label.

As often as you normally would, and more often in bathrooms, kitchens and anywhere lots of hands touch. The protective layer means surfaces stay clean for longer between cleans, especially in areas that don’t get much use.

For most homes, yes. Vera can replace your kitchen spray, bathroom cleaner, floor cleaner, glass cleaner, air freshener and disinfectant. One refill lasts months and if in bulk- can last years.

For thick soap scum or limescale, you may need to remove it first with vinegar and rinse well. Then use Vera to stop it building up again.
