No... Our Green Seal Certified bathroom, glass & multi-surface cleaners do NOT contain disinfectant or anti-bacterial agents. They DO include surfactants that lift up bacteria & viruses from the surface so you can easily wipe them away.

The red Disinfectant Podz  is recognized by Health Canada. After cleaning surfaces in your home, give the surface a quick spray of the red Disinfectant. Let air dry for 10 minutes to safely kill 99.9% of all viruses, bacteria, fungi, mould.

STEP 1. Clean Surface With Purple Podz

Wipe high-touch surfaces with your Multi-Surface Podz. Clean tables, doorknobs, light switches, desks, keyboards, toilets, faucets, sinks — and don’t forget game controllers & cell phones!  

STEP 2. Disinfect With Red

Next, spray cleaned surfaces with your Disinfectant Podz until they’re thoroughly wet. Surfaces must remain wet for approximately 10 MINUTES. Air dry.

STEP 3. Clean Again!

Finally, do another quick spray & wipe with the Multi-Surface Podz. That’s it!

All HopePodz house-cleaners are Green Seal Certified to be AMAZING cleaners 😊In fact, they're used by professional cleaners to keep offices, malls, gyms & health facilities clean. We're first to offer them to the Canadian home market!

• HopePodz Multi-Surface Cleaner (purple pod) is specially formulated to tackle dirt and grease on all NON-POROUS SURFACES, including: counters, sealed wood floors, laminate & sealed stone (marble, granite, quartz, travertine, terrazzo). Great for use in your kitchen, family room & in your Vileda floor spray mop.

• HopePodz Bathroom Cleaner (green pod) is specially formulated to tackle soap scum, water stains, and messes you find around the toilet! Again, it's safe for use on NON-POROUS SURFACES, like your counters, sealed stone & shower surfaces, tubs & sealed tile

• HopePodz Glass Cleaner (blue pod) is designed for use on glass, mirrors & windows. There's NO AMMONIA in it so to avoid streaking, we suggest you try our HopeTowelz Swedish sponge cloths (which really are a game changer).HopePodz

Disinfectant

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Our Disinfectant is recognized by Health Canada to safely kill 99.9% of all viruses, bacteria, fungi, mould. Disinfectant formula contains:

• Octyl decyl dimethyl ammonium chloride 15.24% W/W
• Dioctyl dimethyl ammonium chloride 7.62% W/W
• Didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride 7.62% W/W
• Alkyl (50% C14, 40% C12, 10% C16)
• Dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride 20.32% W/W
• Alcohol (C11) Ethoxylate
• Hexylene Glycol

Our manufacturer calls it lavender — but I really don't smell much of anything. In fact, many Planet Hopers tell me they add a few drops of their favourite essential oil to beef up the scent a bit.

Still, we caution you that HopePodz may not be suitable for individuals with scent sensitivities. If you find you cannot manage the fragrance, we have a 100% money back guarantee.

Dilute your Podz in any 750mL to 1L bottle. FUN FACT! Our Podz make almost 2X more cleaner solution (400mL) than US tablet refills or strips. 

If you don't have a spare bottle kicking around — or prefer glass to plastic — we have awesome sprayer tops that fit your mason jars or empty Classico tomato sauce jars!

🇨🇦 We're a student-led company (with a little help from our parents) that's based in Ontario.

• We ship everything using Canada Post
• We charge in CDN dollars
• There are no duties or custom charges
• Our manufacturing partner is also Canadian, with facilities in both Canada & the US

Yes! In our parents basement, we hand-pack your Podz into tiny, RECYCLABLE CARDBOARD boxes.

We avoid factory-packed, plastic "recyclable" pouches used by Big Brands — as well as "compostable" wrappers (often foil-lined) used by our American tablet friends. 

Sadly, plastic pouches & compostable wrappers too often end up FOREVER in landfill. Few major Canadian Municipal Waste Centres have the facilities to compost/recycle these materials. 

Our Podz do NOT contribute to the Planet's micro-plastics issue. The Podz casing is made up of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA,PVOH). PVA is Green Seal Certified to 100% biodegrade into a non-harmful monomer that's safe for aquatic life. A recent scientific study in Germany (MARCH 2021) concludes that PVA does not meet any of the definitions of micro-plastic:

• it is not micro- or nano-sized;
• it is highly water-soluble; and
• it is biodegradable in the environmental conditions where it is discharged

• We're a 🇨🇦 family-run company (just the 5 of us) operating out of our parents home here in Toronto (vs big US brand)
• We charge in CDN$ and ship by Canada Post (vs 🇺🇸)
• Podz = 400mL more cleaner (vs tabs)
• Podz liquid concentrates = more active ingredients so clean better (vs powdered tabs)
• Podz packaging = recyclable cardboard (vs foil-lined "compostable" wrappers imported into Canada then diverted to our landfills)
