What is an Orange Cleaner and Why Choose It?

 An “orange cleaner” refers to a cleaning product that uses orange-derived ingredients such as d-limonene (extracted from orange peel) and citrus essential oils as its key active components. For example, the product offered by Planet Ark uses orange oil combined with plant-based surfactants and alcohol to safely dissolve grease and grime. 

Benefits of using an orange-based cleaner

• Natural solvent power: Orange peel derived d-limonene is effective for degreasing, thanks to its ability to break down fatty deposits and tough stains. 

• Lower chemical burden: Many orange cleaners emphasise biodegradable surfactants, plant-based ingredients, and reduced reliance on harsh synthetic solvents.

• Pleasant scent and environment uplift: The citrus aroma is refreshing and signals a cleaner home environment helpful for daily surfaces.

• Eco-friendly credentials: Brands like Orange Power explicitly mention vegan, cruelty-free, palm-oil-free formulations, showing a commitment to sustainable standards. 

In the Perth context, where many homes look to reduce chemical exposure or adopt greener cleaning regimes, an orange cleaner presents itself as a smart, accessible alternative.

• Larger chain or online stores supplying orange-scented cleaners, though “natural” attribute might vary. 

Things to check when buying in Perth

• Ingredient list: Look for orange oil or d-limonene as an active component, and reductions in harsh chemical solvents.

• Surface compatibility: Especially for natural cleaners, ensure it is safe for surfaces in your home (e.g., tiles, timber, stainless steel).

• Packaging & volume: Larger households may benefit from 5 L sizes; smaller homes may prefer trigger spray bottles.

• Local shipping / availability: Perth logistics can affect lead times; local stock at Planet Ark or nearby retailers means quicker access.

• Eco credentials: If you’re aiming for sustainable living, check for biodegradable ingredients, palm-oil free, cruelty free etc.

How to Use Orange Cleaner for Best Results

Everyday cleaning

Use your orange cleaner for routine wipe-downs in the kitchen (countertops, stovetop, sink), bathrooms (tiles, tubs), and other high-traffic surfaces. Its citrus-based solvent effect helps lift grease and grime.

Deep cleaning tasks

For tougher jobs (e.g., oven interiors, range-hood grease, exterior BBQ surfaces), apply the orange cleaner, allow a brief dwell time (a few minutes) for the orange oil to break down fat deposits, then wipe or rinse.

Precautions & tips

• Always test in a small, inconspicuous area first  natural doesn’t always mean “universal safe.”

• On timber surfaces: Ensure the formula is suitable for sealed timber; avoid excessive wetting if surface treatment is sensitive.

• Ventilate when cleaning to enjoy the fresh citrus scent and avoid having cleaning fumes linger.

• Store the product in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of natural oils.

FAQs

Q1: What is the difference between a regular cleaner and a natural orange cleaner?
A1: A regular cleaner often uses synthetic solvents, petrochemical-derivatives, or standard surfactants. A natural orange cleaner uses plant-derived citrus oils (like d-limonene) as core solvents and tends to include biodegradable surfactants, making it gentler and more eco-friendly.

Q2: Is orange cleaner safe for all surfaces?
A2: While many orange cleaners are surface-safe, it’s wise to check the product’s label for compatibility. Some delicate surfaces (e.g., untreated timber, unsealed stone) may require caution. A small patch test is recommended.

Q3: Does the orange scent mean it contains fragrance chemicals?
A3: Not necessarily. Some orange cleaners get their scent directly from orange oil or peel extracts, which double as cleaning agents. However, always check the ingredient list if avoiding added synthetic fragrance.

Q4: Can natural orange cleaners replace harsher chemical cleaners entirely?
A4: For many everyday cleaning tasks, yes especially for kitchens, bathrooms, and floors. However, for highly specific industrial-grade cleaning (heavy duty solvents, disinfecting) you might still need specialised formulas. Natural orange cleaners work best when used regularly and correctly.

Q5: Where in Perth can I buy your orange cleaner?
A5: You can buy our orange cleaner directly through Planet Ark either via our online store or visit our physical outlet in Perth/WA (check our website for current address and shipping options).
