The Shuunnya promise
The everyday spray for the daily film on a counter, table or fridge door. Every ingredient is named with its percentage, the pH is measured on every batch, and it says plainly what it will not do: it does not disinfect.
- Plant-sugar cleaners 1.20% + 0.80% = 2.00%; no ethoxylated cleaner
- pH 7.50, measured on every batch; each surface we list is tested first
- Four named preservatives, no MIT or BIT; lab report published here
- No alcohol, scent, dye, bleach, ammonia or quats
- Dose and cost printed: about 2 ml a wipe-down, Rs 0.80 a use
Details
The one bottle for the daily film: a dining table, a fridge door, a study desk, a chair back, the outside of an appliance. Spray, wipe, done; on most surfaces there is no rinse. It is neutral, it has no scent, and every ingredient is printed with its percentage.
- What does the work: Two plant-sugar cleaners, made from coconut or palm kernel fatty alcohol and corn or other plant sugar: Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside 1.20% and Coco-Glucoside 0.80%, adding up to 2.00%. That is enough to lift a kitchen film into the cloth and little enough to wipe off in one pass without a tacky residue. No ethoxylated cleaner is added.
- Why it is neutral: A citrate buffer holds the pH near 7.50 (release band 7.20 to 7.80) and softens hard water so it does not leave white spots as it dries. Acids attack marble and strong alkalis dull some finishes, so the bench tests each surface before we name it.
- Why there is no alcohol: The maker of a well-known brand of acrylic sheet tells users to keep ethanol and alcohol cleaners off it. Leaving alcohol out also means nothing flammable in the cupboard. The Spring Glass and Mirror Cleaner is the one to reach for on glass.
- How it keeps without the usual preservative: Four named lines: phenoxyethanol 0.60%, caprylyl glycol 0.30%, ethylhexylglycerin 0.10% and sodium phytate 0.10%, 1.10% in all, with no MIT or BIT. The set goes through an ISO 11930 challenge test, including a mould, before the first sale, and the report is published here.
- Scent and dye: It smells of nothing, on purpose: it is used on tables and trays where food sits. The liquid is clear.
- How to use: Turn the nozzle from OFF to the spray symbol. Two sprays per wipe-down. Wipe with a clean cloth. On a table or tray where food sits, wipe once more with a damp cloth. For switches, sockets, appliances and screens, spray the cloth, never the thing.
- What it is not: Not a disinfectant, and it makes no germ-kill claim. A claim you could check names the germ, the contact time, the test and the laboratory, and in India it also moves a product into the regulated disinfectant class. We hold none of those. After illness or raw meat, use a registered disinfectant at its own stated strength.
- Not for: Unsealed, oiled or waxed wood, polished shellac, and unsealed natural stone. Try a hidden corner first on anything else.
- Refill and cost: Keep the trigger head. The 1 L refill pouch fills the 500 ml bottle twice. At about 2 ml a wipe-down that is 250 uses from the bottle at Rs 0.80 and 500 from the refill at Rs 0.64.
Product information
Ingredients (INCI), in descending order, with percentages
- Full list
- Aqua (Purified water 96.50%), Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside (Plant-sugar cleaner 1.20%), Coco-Glucoside (Coconut and corn sugar cleaner 0.80%), Phenoxyethanol (Gentle preservative 0.60%), Caprylyl Glycol (Mould-guard preservative 0.30%), Trisodium Citrate (Water softener and buffer 0.30%), Citric Acid (Citrus fruit acid, keeps the pH 0.10%), Ethylhexylglycerin (Vegetable-derived booster 0.10%), Sodium Phytate (Rice bran extract 0.10%). Exactly 9 ingredients summing to 100.00%.
- Aqua (Purified water)
- 96.50% w/w. Demineralised water: the balance, including 1.75% of carrier water that arrives inside the three solution-form ingredients.
- Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside (Plant-sugar cleaner)
- 1.20% w/w active (charged as 2.00% of a 60% solution). Non-ionic cleaner from coconut or palm kernel fatty alcohol and plant sugar: wets fast, foams little, rinses off clean. No ethoxylate.
- The 1 percent line
- Falls after Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside. All 9 ingredients sum to 100.00 percent
- Coco-Glucoside (Coconut and corn sugar cleaner)
- 0.80% w/w active (charged as 1.60% of a 50% solution). Non-ionic cleaner that carries grease and fingerprint oils into the cloth.
- Phenoxyethanol (Gentle preservative)
- 0.60% w/w. Guards against bacteria. The Indian cosmetics standard (IS 4707 Part 3) caps it at 1.00%; used here as a reference, since this is not a cosmetic.
- Caprylyl Glycol (Mould-guard preservative)
- 0.30% w/w. Guards the mould side, where phenoxyethanol is weakest, and helps the cleaners wet the surface.
- Trisodium Citrate (Water softener and buffer)
- 0.30% w/w, weighed as the dihydrate (food additive). Binds the calcium and magnesium of hard water so it does not dry to white spots, and holds the pH steady.
- Citric Acid (Citrus fruit acid)
- 0.10% w/w, trimmed at the batch to bring the pH to 7.50. The buffer partner of the citrate.
- Ethylhexylglycerin (Vegetable-derived booster)
- 0.10% w/w. Helps phenoxyethanol work against bacteria.
- Sodium Phytate (Rice bran extract)
- 0.10% w/w active (charged as 0.25% of a 40% solution). Strips the metal ions germs rely on, which strengthens the other preservatives.
What is left out, and what took its place
- Ethoxylated cleaners (alcohol ethoxylates, laureths, polysorbates)
- Replaced by two plant-sugar cleaners at 2.00% in all. Seven of the nine well-known clean sprays we read still add an ethoxylated cleaner beside the sugar one; we add none, so there is nothing to carry a trace of 1,4-dioxane.
- Alcohol (ethanol, isopropanol)
- Left out. The maker of a well-known brand of acrylic sheet says cleaners containing ethanol or alcohol can damage it, and alcohol at a useful level makes a spray flammable. The price is slower drying on glass, which the Spring Glass and Mirror Cleaner is for.
- MIT, CMIT and BIT (isothiazolinone preservatives)
- Replaced by four named lines: phenoxyethanol 0.60%, caprylyl glycol 0.30%, ethylhexylglycerin 0.10% and sodium phytate 0.10%. Five of the nine well-known clean sprays we read still use an isothiazolinone, among the most common sensitisers in household cleaners.
- Quats (benzalkonium chloride and similar)
- Left out. A quat leaves a residual film on the surface: wanted on a disinfectant, not on a table where food is served. It is also what makes a product a germ-kill product, which this is not.
- Chlorine bleach, ammonia, phosphate, EDTA
- None present. Hard water is handled by trisodium citrate (a food additive) and sodium phytate (from rice bran).
- Fragrance and essential oils
- Left out. The spray is used on tables, counters and trays where food sits; a scent adds an allergen to declare and an oil that goes stale in the bottle. It smells of nothing, which is the point.
- Dye
- Left out. The liquid is clear.
- Bitter agent (denatonium benzoate)
- Not added. It is a mild, near-neutral liquid used on surfaces that touch food, and a bitter residue there seemed the larger risk. Keep it out of reach of children; if swallowed, rinse the mouth and call a doctor.
- Germ-kill claim
- Not made. A claim you could check names the germ, the contact time, the test and the laboratory, and in India it also moves a product into the regulated disinfectant class. We hold none of those. After illness or raw meat, use a registered disinfectant at its own stated strength.
- What we will not say
- Non-toxic, food-safe, baby-safe, eco-friendly, sanitises. Each needs certification or scientific data behind it, and none is ours to claim yet; the ingredients and their percentages are printed instead.

- Tested on
- Filled from the bench report before the first sale: each surface that passes is named here and on the pack. Until then no surface is promised.
- Not for
- Unsealed, oiled or waxed wood, polished shellac, unsealed natural stone. Try a hidden corner first on anything else.
- Spray head
- Adjustable: OFF, MIST, STREAM; about 1 ml a stroke. Turn from OFF to the spray symbol to use it.

Compliance and safety
- Governing position
- A plain household cleaning product with no germ-kill claim. No Indian Standard exists for a general-purpose multi-surface cleaner and none is compulsory; our own finished-product specification, with named test methods, is the quality contract.
- Eye and hazard
- Eye irritant, confirmed from each lot's safety sheets: if in eyes, rinse with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if easy, keep rinsing; if irritation persists, get medical advice. Not flammable: there is no alcohol. Do not mix with bleach or other cleaners.
- Ingredient safety check
- None of the nine ingredients has an entry in the Indian cosmetics prohibited-substances list (IS 4707 Part 2). Phenoxyethanol at 0.60% is inside that standard's 1.00% ceiling. Used as a cross-check; this is not a cosmetic.
- Preservation and microbial limits
- ISO 11930 challenge test (Criterion A, five named organisms including a mould) on the first pilot batch, report published here before the first sale. Every batch: bacteria under 100 per ml, yeast and mould under 10 per ml, four named pathogens absent in 1 ml.
- Surface tests
- Marble gloss loss, acrylic and polycarbonate crazing, laminate and its edges, sealed wood, steel, tile, painted wall and anodised aluminium are each reported as a number before a surface is named.
- Biodegradability
- The word biodegradable is used here only when the OECD 301 or IS 13933 report for the surfactants is on file, and it covers the liquid, not the pack.
- Statutory declarations (Legal Metrology 2011)
- Net quantity, month and year of manufacture, best-before, MRP, unit sale price, manufacturer, batch, consumer care contact and country of origin on every pack.
- Plastic packaging
- Plastic packaging under the Plastic Waste Management Rules; the bottle is 100% recycled HDPE and the brand owner's EPR registration number is printed on the pack.
