Tickle Lab's Multi-Surface Cleaning Spray is a gentle yet highly effective household staple designed specifically for homes where crawling babies and toddlers are actively exploring (and inevitably licking) every surface in sight. Powered by natural vinegar and plant-derived cleansers, it effortlessly tackles sticky messes on countertops, highchairs, toys, and walls without leaving a toxic chemical film behind. Available in Fresh Citrus or Uplifting Floral, it safely displaces harsh, synthetic household sprays and gives you absolute peace of mind.
About Better Earth: The "Better" Principle
We don't do greenwashing, eco-guilt, or fake perfection. We just make uncompromisingly effective cleaning products that respect the planet.
- Radical Honesty: No hidden nasties and no petrochemicals. We tell you exactly what is in our bottles and why it works.
- The Power of Displacement: Every time you choose Better Earth, you actively displace the bad stuff. You are keeping toxic, mass-market chemical waste out of our earth and water systems, and stopping virgin plastics from piling up in our landfills.

The Better Principle on your Surfaces
We applied our Triangle of Trade-offs to engineer a surface cleaner that actually removes grime without turning your baby's highchair tray into a hazard. Conventional all-purpose sprays rely on aggressive industrial biocides, ammonia, and artificial fragrances designed to linger for days. When you spray those on a highchair or a plastic toy, a microscopic chemical film stays behind - right where your baby eats and plays. That is a hard pass from us.
Instead, we formulated a hypoallergenic, non-toxic base using traditional natural powerhouses: Vinegar, mild coconut-derived cleansers, and pure essential oils. Yes, you might catch a brief, mild whiff of vinegar when you first spray it, but it dissipates rapidly as it dries, leaving only a naturally clean surface and the faint, uplifting scent of essential oils. No need to rinse, and no panic when your baby drops a strawberry on the tray and eats it anyway.
The Facts (Why It Works)
- Wipe & Go: So safe and naturally formulated that you do not need to rinse it off after wiping down feeding chairs, play mats, or toys.
- The Power of Vinegar: Utilises the natural, grease-cutting and odour-neutralising properties of vinegar combined with gentle plant surfactants.
- Two Pure Profiles: Choose from Fresh Citrus (Grapefruit, Orange, and Lemongrass) or Uplifting Floral (Lavender, Rose Geranium, and Orange).
- Zero Nasties: Strictly free from SLES, parabens, artificial fragrances and dyes, phosphates, phthalates, formaldehyde, and alcohol.
- Earth & Animal Approved: 100% biodegradable, greywater safe, and septic tank friendly. Vegan and strictly never tested on animals.
- Hypoallergenic: Formulated to be incredibly gentle on your growing family's sensitive skin and respiratory systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this smell faintly of vinegar when I first spray it? Vinegar is one of nature's most effective dirt and grease cutters, but it does have a distinct smell! Commercial brands mask their harsh chemicals with overwhelming, artificial "meadow breeze" perfumes that linger for days. We embrace the vinegar because it works safely. The brief scent evaporates completely within a minute or two as the surface dries, leaving behind only a clean tray and a hint of natural essential oils.
Do I really not need to rinse off a highchair tray after using this? You really don't! We specifically formulated this spray without the aggressive petrochemicals, ammonia, and synthetic preservatives found in standard household cleaners. Once you wipe away the mess, the remaining traces of our plant-based cleansers and vinegar are perfectly safe for your baby's environment.
Why do I have to shake the bottle before I spray? Because we refuse to use synthetic chemical emulsifiers. In a truly natural product, the essential oils and the water/vinegar base will eventually separate while sitting on your counter. A quick shake blends them right back together for a perfect spray every time.
