Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about calculator use, dilution guidance, blog content, and general site information.

How do the calculators work?

Enter your product concentration, pick your container size, and the calculator returns the exact amounts to mix. The math runs instantly — no sign-up, no app, no waiting.

Are the results safe to follow?

The calculators use standard dilution formulas, but they cannot replace the label on your specific product. Always check the manufacturer's instructions first — our tools help you measure what the label already recommends.

Which calculator should I start with?

If you're mixing a household cleaner or vinegar spray, start with the Cleaning Dilution Calculator. For bleach, use the Bleach Dilution Calculator. If your instructions mention ppm, use the PPM Dilution Calculator. All six are on the Calculators page.

What are the topic guides for?

Each guide collects the calculator, ratio references, safety notes, and related articles for one cleaning topic into a single starting point. Think of them as a table of contents for bleach, vinegar, essential oils, surface cleaning, and general dilution.

Can I use this for commercial or professional cleaning?

Yes. The calculators handle any volume — spray bottles, buckets, or large batches. For professional settings where ppm compliance matters (food service, healthcare, childcare), the PPM and Hypochlorous Acid calculators are designed for that.

Why is the site so simple?

Because you came here to calculate a mix, not to read a magazine. Every design decision prioritizes speed, clarity, and getting you back to your cleaning task with the right numbers.

Is CleaningRatio free?

Yes. All calculators, guides, and articles are free with no account required. The site is supported by ads and affiliate partnerships, not subscriptions.
