A smarter clean starts with knowing what’s inside.
Solvia’s multipurpose cleaning tablet is designed as a compact, refill-based formula for everyday home surface cleaning. This page explains the ingredients, their role in the formula, and the safety guidance you should follow when using the product.
Why we call it a smarter, lower-waste clean
Solvia’s environmental benefit is mainly in the system: one reusable bottle, compact tablets, and refills that reduce the need to keep buying single-use plastic cleaning bottles. The formula is designed to dissolve in water at home, so you are not paying to ship a full bottle of mostly water every time you need more cleaner.
What’s inside the Solvia tablet
Below are the ingredients listed in the product safety documentation, explained in plain English. Each ingredient has a job in the formula, from helping the tablet dissolve to supporting cleaning performance.
Sodium Carbonate
10–50%Sodium carbonate helps support cleaning performance by adjusting alkalinity and helping lift everyday grime from suitable household surfaces.
It supports an effective concentrated tablet formula, which helps the product work without needing a full pre-mixed liquid bottle.
Tartaric Acid
10–40%Tartaric acid helps the tablet dissolve and contributes to the effervescent reaction when added to water.
It helps make the compact tablet format possible, reducing reliance on bulky liquid cleaner packaging.
Sodium Lauroylsarcosinate
1–10%This ingredient helps the cleaning solution spread across surfaces and lift soils more effectively.
The SDS lists biodegradation data of 82% over 28 days. It is still a cleaning ingredient and should be used as directed, not released in large quantities into waterways.
Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate
1–10%Sodium lauroyl glutamate helps with cleaning and wetting performance, supporting the formula’s ability to work as a multipurpose surface cleaner.
The SDS lists biodegradation data of 92% over 28 days. This supports a more responsible formulation story, while still requiring sensible use and disposal.
Sodium Benzoate
1–10%Sodium benzoate supports the overall stability and performance of the tablet formula.
The SDS lists biodegradation data of 75% over 30 days. It should still be handled responsibly and used only as directed.
Sodium Chloride
1–10%Sodium chloride can support the physical structure and performance of tablet-based formulas.
The SDS lists no CLP hazard classification for this ingredient in the formula table. It is part of the compact tablet system.
Sodium Phytate
1–10%Sodium phytate helps support cleaning performance by binding minerals that can interfere with how cleaning formulas work.
It helps the formula perform effectively in water, supporting the tablet format and reducing the need for bulky pre-mixed cleaner packaging.
Glycerin
1–10%Glycerin can support the physical feel, stability and processing of the tablet formula.
The SDS lists no CLP hazard classification for glycerin in the formula table. It supports the compact tablet format.
Use safely. Store responsibly.
Solvia is made for consumer home surface cleaning when used as directed. Like most cleaning products, it should be treated with care and kept away from children.
Eye safety
The SDS classifies the product as causing serious eye damage. Avoid eye contact. If in eyes, rinse cautiously with water and seek medical advice immediately.
Skin contact
The SDS lists skin irritation. Wash hands after handling and rinse skin with water if contact causes irritation.
Avoid breathing dust
Avoid breathing tablet dust. Use in a well-ventilated area and handle tablets carefully.
Storage
Store in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep out of reach of children and away from direct heat.
Waterways
Do not allow large quantities of product to enter waterways, drains, groundwater or sewage systems.
Normal use protection
The SDS states eye, skin and respiratory protection are not required under normal conditions of use, but care should still be taken when handling the tablet.
What the SDS supports — and what it doesn’t
We are careful with environmental claims. Solvia’s strongest environmental argument is the refill system: reusable bottle, compact tablets, and less single-use plastic. The SDS also provides useful environmental information, including biodegradation data for selected ingredients and confirmation that the mixture does not contain PBT or vPvB substances at or above 0.1%.
For Solvia, “eco-friendly formula” means a cleaning tablet designed to support a lower-waste refill system. The product is compact, dissolves in water at home, and works with a reusable bottle to reduce repeat purchases of single-use plastic cleaning bottles.
It does not mean the product has zero environmental impact. No cleaning product should be described that way.
The SDS lists biodegradation data for selected ingredients:
- Sodium lauroylsarcosinate: 82% over 28 days.
- Sodium lauroyl glutamate: 92% over 28 days.
- Sodium benzoate: 75% over 30 days.
Because the SDS provides ingredient-level biodegradation data rather than a single finished-product biodegradability claim, the safer wording is “contains ingredients with listed biodegradation data” rather than making an absolute whole-product claim.
According to the SDS, none of the ingredients at or above 0.1% meet the criteria for PBT or vPvB, and none are identified as having endocrine-disrupting properties under the listed EU criteria.
Use the product as directed and avoid disposing of large quantities into drains, waterways, groundwater or sewage systems. Small household quantities should be handled responsibly and in line with local disposal guidance.
No — we do not recommend using the term “non-toxic” broadly. The SDS lists hazards including harmful if inhaled, skin irritation and serious eye damage. A stronger and more accurate claim is that Solvia is designed for everyday home surface cleaning when used as directed.
