Great cleaner for dog messes & bathrooms, general sanitization and wipe downs, not deep stains
We have a room where we keep the dog crates for when they need to be in there to sleep on rare occasions (like if we're staying overnight elsewhere) and we're all quite aware that we're a bit noseblind to the dog scent that now pervades it. And with dogs and a family of four that includes kids, bathrooms can tend to get messy very quickly, so keeping them clean is a regular struggle. Those two spots seemed like the perfect place to test Pacific Spirit's special brand of DIY spray cleaner which, in an effort to save people money and reduce the production and use of additional plastic bottles ships its cleaning product in cardboard envelopes and has you create them in home.<br /><br />It's an idea I'm fully on-board with and one we've used before with other products (not always as powders, sometimes as incredibly small, very concentrated liquid formats that you then dilute in bigger spray bottles. Again, if it reduces the ultimate environmental impact of shipping cleaning product around the world and the number of big cleaning spray bottles being made and not really recycled great. That's definitely a pro.<br /><br />But, they still need to pull their weight as cleaning products.<br /><br />So, that's the big question: Does Pacific Spirit work as well standard bleach, general tile cleaner x, Windex, etc?<br /><br />As a general wipe down cleaner, like a Windex or bleach wipe, it seems to be fine, but where it didn't seem to be quite as strong was in the realm of stain removal, even though we erred on the side of higher potency and made it slightly higher in concentration than recommended in order to really give it the benefit of the doubt. That's fine, as we already have to buy two different products to use for those two general use-cases since even Windex or bleach wipes are particularly effective at stain removal.<br /><br />So this package-saving product can still potentially replace basic glass and surface wash and sanitization sprays, just not something more specialized. That's still making an impact, even if it's not as big as one as we'd hoped.<br /><br />***Overall Value***<br />It's absolutely cheaper than buying 6 additional bottles of a Windex or even generic bleach wipes at just $3 (at time of review) for a pack of 3 envelopes that goes on to produce multiple bottles of cleaning spray. That's a great value, and again it's much less environmentally bad than a bulk pack of bleach wipes that both has to ship those wipes in larger packaging, produces a lot of waste in each wipe, and cost more to do both. Lots of value added there.
