How to Use

How to Make: For an effective homemade cleaner, roll and insert strips into a bottle of water - - 1 strip for every 8 ounces of water. This small but mighty package contains 8 strips and makes four, 16 oz bottles of cleaner. It fits on your shelf like a little book!

How to Perfectly Clean Glass Every Time: Mix a bottle of our Glass & Window Cleaner and spray liberally on your glass surface. For best results use our Professional Window cleaning cloth set (sold separately). With our waffle (dark blue) cloth, wipe in circular motions across the surface to remove dirt and grime. For a polished streak-free finish, wipe in circular motions with our (light blue) finishing cloth.

Storage: These products are meant to be stored at room temperature and at average humidity. In cold or dry conditions they may become brittle. If this happens - no worries. They will become pliable again once humidity returns to normal. For a quick fix just waft individual strips over boiling water for a few seconds before use.

What's In Our Cleaner

SAFE & EARTH FRIENDLY INGREDIENTS There are a lot of “green-washed” products out there. Nantucket Footprint is committed to not being among them. When we set out to make our cleaning formulas, we decided to follow a few basic principles:

• FULL INGREDIENT TRANSPARENCY Most household cleaners sold in the USA still don’t disclose ingredients. But we know ingredients matter. We are committed to 100% ingredient transparency for all our products, and so you can find all our ingredients on the packaging - More details can be found here.
• COSMETIC QUALITY INGREDIENTS There are no strict standards for cleaning product ingredients in the USA so we decided that all of our ingredients needed to not only be on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Safer Choice list, but they must also have the lowest (safest) ratings on the EWG cosmetic database. In addition, none of our ingredients appear on the Suzuki “Dirty Dozen List" – Our thinking is that products used in your home should have ingredients that would be safe enough to use on your body (they of course aren’t intended for bodies – this was just our standard).
• FREE FROM HARMFUL CHEMICALS Every Nantucket Footprint cleaning product is free from harmful chemicals including those that are harmful to people or to the planet. So you will find NO sodium lauryl sulfate, NO sodium laureth sulfate, NO phosphates, NO phthalates, NO parabens, NO artificial fragrances, NO triclosan, NO methylisothiazolinone and NO benzisothiazolinone. Also our products are made with NO vinegar, bleach, or palm oil. And our products are non-abrasive.
• NO ARTIFICIAL FRAGRANCES The only way to achieve highly fragrant laundry and cleaning products is to use artificial fragrance ingredients. Such ingredients are a significant source of household toxins, and we have opted not to use any in our formulations. For a healthy clean with low toxicity, we lightly scent our Glass & Window Cleaning Strips using only a hint of cold-pressed essential oils from rosemary and mint. Our goal is light and fresh -- if you are looking for perfume, you will be disappointed in the fragrance level.
• KICKING SINGLE-USE PLASTIC TO THE CURB Each box of Nantucket Footprint Cleaning Strips equals four plastic spray bottles that never had to be created or discarded! Our boxes are made from 100% compostable cardboard (even the child-resistant button). With over 120 million Households in the USA there is a huge amount of plastic waste created from household cleaning products each year – Just imagine what an impact we can have together by eliminating single-use plastic cleaning bottles!
• SUPER EFFECTIVE We guarantee that you will find our Glass & Window Cleaner to be the most effective natural cleaner you have ever used. We are so confident in this that If you are not 100% satisfied with our product and its effectiveness, we will send you a full refund.
• TOTAL CONVENIENCE: Our concentrated cleaning strips come in a light and small package and quickly dissolve in our reusable glass spray bottle filled with water (or your own bottles) and take up no shelf space – ultimate zero-waste convenience.

With Little Footprints in Mind

We chose the Footprint of an endangered owl in the middle of our logo to represent our commitment to our brand ethos. Our goal is to be guided by the mindfulness of little footprints in everything we do:

• We are committed to making products that create the smallest possible ecological footprint and will always strive to improve this.
• We are committed to making products that are safe – including that we put them in child-safe packages so that children are not harmed by eating concentrated cleaning ingredients (there are over 350 calls to poison control in the USA per day from kids eating things like dishwasher and laundry pods)
• We are committed to donating a portion of our profits to environmental organizations that protect rainforests, endangered species, and work to combat climate change - we are mindful that the most humble creatures with the smallest footprints are impacted everyday by the choices we all make.
