Frequently Asked Questions

Is Skipper universal cleaner Australian-made?

Yes, our universal cleaner is proudly manufactured in NSW, Australia.

How does it work?

In five easy steps you'll have a full bottle of universal cleaner (a multi-surface cleaner for all hard surfaces):

1. Fill the spray bottle with hot water from the tap.

2. Drop in a refill tablet.

3. Leave the trigger off while it dissolves, typically about an hour.

4. Dispose the wrapper in the compost bin or regular trash.

5. Shake to activate before first use. This is important to ensure the cleaning solution is mixed properly.

That's it! Spray and clean as you would a regular multi-surface or all-purpose cleaner. We recommend pairing with the microfibre cloths included for an effective clean on all hard surfaces.

Pro tip: Our universal cleaner performs just as well as the traditional brands and cleaners you're used to. How? Outside of our uniquely powerful and clean formula, all cleaners are 98%+ water. With Skipper, you're simply adding the water at home, instead of shipping it around in a plastic bottle.

What surfaces can I use Skipper universal cleaner on?

(Almost) anything! It's suitable for all hard surfaces, including laminates, wood, marble, stone, tiles, stainless steel, glass and more.

What ingredients are in your universal cleaner?

Anionic & nonionic surfactants, sodium bicarbonate, sorbitol, maltodextrin, propylene glycol, sodium benzoate, citrus urantium dulcis (sweet orange) peel oil, citrus bergamia (bergamot) peel oil, parfum.

How does Skipper universal cleaner compare to other products?

Skipper’s universal cleaner is just as powerful as the supermarket spray cleaners you’re used to, whilst being non-hazardous, formulated without nasty chemicals and highly effective. The refills are affordable, coming in as low as $2.78-$3 for an entire bottle of spray cleaner.

Other significant factors that set our universal cleaner apart from other spray cleaners are the reusable dispensers, low-absorbancy microfiibre cloths, matching refill tins and of course, the process of ‘just adding water’ to our concentrated tablet to create the product without plastic waste.

Is Skipper universal cleaner child and pet safe?

All Skipper products are formulated to be safe for the whole family (including children and pets). When diluted with water and used as expected, the univeral cleaner is non-hazardous and safe. However in concentrated form, the tablets should be stored safely away from children and pets, and not ingested.

Is your universal cleaner septic and greywater safe?

Yes, our universal cleaner is considered septic and grey water safe, including for use with enviro septic systems. This is why we specifically avoid "anti-bacterial ingredients". In fact, all our products are septic and grey water-safe.

Our ingredients are reviewed internally for known hazards to our environment, waterways, longevity of septic systems (harsher chemicals can wear components) and of course, exposure to humans and pets at home.

How much does it cost to refill?

Refilling your Skipper universal cleaner is surprisingly affordable and with free shipping on all refills-only orders!

Refills cost between $2.78-$3 per refill (500ml) depending on your pack size (we offer 3,6 and 9-pack sizes). Refills can even cost as low as $2.22 each with Skipper’s Refill & Save program, where you save when you shop refills in bulk.

Specifically, spend $100 & save 10%, or spend $200 & save 20%. Customers often shop refills for all their Skipper products every ~6 months to hit these bulk buy tiers.

By not shipping water, not packaging the product in plastic and providing products to you in bulk, we're able to price our products to be extremely affordable.
