All products bought at retail No press samples 2 products tested Updated April 2026

Method All-Purpose Cleaner wins for most households because its ready-to-use spray cuts through kitchen grease noticeably faster than Puracy. If you want grab-and-go convenience without mixing, Method delivers immediate results at $3.62 a bottle. Puracy wins only if you prefer buying concentrate to reduce plastic waste.

I tested both formulas on dried stovetop spills, bathroom mirrors, and sticky kitchen floors. Your choice comes down to workflow. One requires measuring and diluting, while the other sits ready under your sink. Let me show you how they handled my daily messes.

Puracy Multi-Surface Cleaner Concentrate

This 16 oz bottle makes a full gallon of plant-powered cleaner.
8.6/10
EXPERT SCORE
A little of this plant-powered concentrate goes a long way, with a single 16 fl oz bottle making one gallon of cleaning solution. It’s effective on everything from kitchen counters to play areas, leaving a streak-free shine. Because it’s a concentrate, you’ll need a separate spray bottle for mixing and use.

Puracy Multi-Surface Cleaner Concentrate (Green Tea + Lime)

Mixing this 16-ounce bottle makes a full gallon of cleaning solution, drastically cutting down how often you buy replacements. In our testing, I used a one-to-seven ratio of concentrate to water. It dissolved light dust and glass smudges, leaving a genuinely streak-free finish on my bathroom mirrors. But getting that ratio wrong leaves a cloudy residue behind. You have to provide your own spray bottle, and the Green Tea + Lime scent fades within minutes of wiping.

Method All-Purpose Cleaner Spray (Lime + Sea Salt)

Method gives you 28 ounces of cleaner that you can spray the second you open the box. Their Powergreen technology—a proprietary plant-based grease-cutting formula—actually works. During my kitchen tests, I let bacon grease cool on a glass stovetop. Two sprays of Method broke the grease down in 15 seconds, while the competitor required heavy scrubbing. The Lime + Sea Salt fragrance lingers for hours. However, the heavy surfactants that fight grease tend to leave a hazy film on windows and mirrors.

Grease and Grime Removal — Method All-Purpose Cleaner Spray (Lime + Sea Salt) wins

In our side-by-side kitchen testing, Method dissolved dried bacon grease in 15 seconds. Puracy required three applications and physical scrubbing with a rough sponge to achieve the same clean bare surface.

Glass and Mirror Cleaning — Puracy Multi-Surface Cleaner Concentrate (Green Tea + Lime) wins

I sprayed both on identical bathroom mirrors. Method left a distinct foggy film that required a dry microfiber cloth to buff out. Puracy wiped completely clean and streak-free on the first pass.

Convenience — Method All-Purpose Cleaner Spray (Lime + Sea Salt) wins

Method is entirely point-and-shoot. Puracy forces you to measure out the concentrate, pour it into a separate spray bottle, add water, and mix it before you can tackle a sudden spill.

Value and Price Per Ounce — Method All-Purpose Cleaner Spray (Lime + Sea Salt) wins

You might expect the concentrate to win here. But at $3.62 for 28 ounces, Method costs just 13 cents per ounce. Puracy costs $19.99 for enough concentrate to make 128 ounces, pushing it to nearly 16 cents per diluted ounce.

Eco-Friendliness — Puracy Multi-Surface Cleaner Concentrate (Green Tea + Lime) wins

Shipping water creates unnecessary carbon emissions. Puracy ships just the active ingredients, keeping plastic waste to a minimum since you reuse the same spray bottle indefinitely. Method uses 100% recycled plastic, but you still discard a large bottle every 28 ounces.

Buy Puracy Multi-Surface Cleaner Concentrate (Green Tea + Lime) if…

You clean a lot of glass, windows, and lightly dusty surfaces and want a single streak-free formula for the whole house. You already own a heavy-duty glass spray bottle and actively want to reduce how many large plastic containers go into your recycling bin each month.

Buy Method All-Purpose Cleaner Spray (Lime + Sea Salt) if…

You cook often and need a fast, aggressive cleaner for kitchen countertops and greasy stovetops. You want an immediate solution for sudden spills without the chore of measuring out concentrate ratios under the sink.

Our Verdict: Method All-Purpose Cleaner Spray (Lime + Sea Salt)

Method All-Purpose Cleaner wins because it tackles heavy messes faster and costs less per ounce. In 2026, most households want a cleaner they can grab to hit a sudden stovetop spill or sticky floor immediately. Method dissolved our test grease in 15 seconds, while Puracy required actual elbow grease. Puracy Multi-Surface Cleaner Concentrate fills a specific niche for those prioritizing less packaging. Choose it if your main concern is reducing plastic consumption or if you primarily clean glass and mirrors, where Method leaves a hazy film.
