We use this everywhere for our house-cleaning service. We haven’t purchased a plastic single-use bottle of cleaner for years. This formula has also been great for stainless. Our staff prefers it over expensive stainless polish, and we agree. Streak-free and it actually cleans. Also highly effective for stone countertops. This formula will replace a wide range of specialty cleaners for glass, stone, stainless, wood, flooring, etc.

Either dilution works well for any application. Still, by using a lower concentration for hard/streak prone surfaces, your bottle will last even longer without any sacrifice in efficacy. Higher concentrations will be more effective for oily messes.
Use and Instructions:
Mello soap co. products are designed for safety and efficacy in a wide range of applications. As former professional cleaners ourselves we value formulas which work hard while being safe, gentle, and mildly scented. Years of experience have taught us to avoid aggressive chemicals, powerful fragrances, and ready-to-use bottles. Safe, sustainable, and affordable. That’s where we want to be.
Here are some recommendations:
Always test before use on any sensitive surface. These cleaners contain essential oils and as such could stain certain fabric or very porous stone. The sink/tub/tile formula is acidic and consequently not recommended for use on unsealed marble. Any spills of the concentrate should be cleaned up promptly.
Safety should always be a top priority when working with any chemical, natural or not. Cleaning concentrates are not meant for ingestion and, along with and all cleaning supplies, should be stored safely away from children at all times. We suggest using the child-resistant cap for customers with young children.
A few finer points on safety:
Prolonged contact with skin is to be avoided due to the drying effect of the soap.
Eye contact will result in irritation and discomfort, not unlike bar soap or shampoo.
Avoid excessive inhalation by spraying an area and walking away for a moment.
Those with asthma or severe allergies should likely avoid scented formulas.
Avoid mixing these formulas with any other household chemicals.
As always, if any irritation occurs discontinue use immediately.
All that said, these formulas employ ingredients that are commonly used in a wide range of personal care products. These are milder cleaners than most, and should generally not cause issues.
