How to Set Up a Cleaning Product Refill Station at Home
Creating a refill station at home is one of the easiest ways to save money, cut plastic waste, and simplify your cleaning routine. With just a few supplies and some space, you can refill your favorite products instead of buying new bottles every time. If you already use Alondra bulk cleaning products, setting up a refill station helps you get even more value from your purchase.
Here’s how to build a simple, organized, and practical cleaning product refill station in your home.
Step 1: Choose the Right Location
Start by picking a convenient spot with enough room for your bulk containers and smaller refill bottles. Many people use their laundry room, utility closet, or garage. You’ll want a sturdy shelf or counter that can hold heavier containers like 2.2-gallon or 5-gallon buckets.
Keep the area clean and dry, and avoid storing cleaning products near food or heat sources. A little organization up front makes refilling easier and keeps your home safer.
Step 2: Gather Supplies
To set up your refill station, you’ll need:
Bulk-size containers of your most-used products (like Alondra Laundry Detergent, Hand Dish Detergent, or All Purpose Cleaner)
Smaller labeled bottles for everyday use
Funnels or pumps for easy pouring
Paper towels or cleaning cloths for quick cleanups
Envirosuds offers convenient Pumps for 5-Gallon Buckets and Pumps for 2.2-Gallon Buckets. These pumps make refilling smaller bottles simple and help prevent spills or waste. You can also use them to fill measuring cups or detergent cups directly from the bucket for quick use.
Step 3: Label Everything
Label each smaller bottle clearly so everyone in your home knows what’s inside. Use waterproof labels and include basic instructions, such as dilution ratios or usage tips. For example:
Laundry Detergent: Use 1–2 ounces per load
All Purpose Cleaner: Mix 2 ounces per gallon of water for regular cleaning
Dish Soap: Use a small amount per sink load
Proper labeling prevents mix-ups and makes refilling much faster.
Step 4: Keep It Organized
Group your cleaning products by type (laundry, kitchen, bathroom, and general use). This makes it easier to grab what you need and see when something’s running low. You can also keep a small notepad nearby to jot down products that need restocking.
If you’re refilling for multiple family members or helpers, consider color-coding the bottles. For example, blue for bathroom cleaners and green for kitchen products.
Step 5: Maintain and Refill
Once your station is set up, refill your smaller bottles as needed and wipe down the area every few weeks. Always seal your bulk containers tightly after each use to prevent drying out or contamination. Store them away from direct sunlight and in a moderate temperature space.
When you notice supplies getting low, place your next order early to avoid running out. Buying directly from Envirosuds ensures you’re getting professional-grade Alondra products at bulk pricing with fast, reliable shipping.
