JAWS Multi-Purpose Cleaner Review
Quick Take
Overall Score: 7.9/10
JAWS pioneered the refillable cartridge concept before Blueland made tablets mainstream. Their snap-in concentrate pods eliminate single-use bottles while delivering decent cleaning performance. The system is clever, the safety profile is good (EWG-B), and the value proposition works for eco-conscious families.
The Verdict: A solid eco-friendly option with an innovative delivery system. Not the cleanest formula available, but the refill mechanics are user-friendly and the environmental benefits are real. Good choice for families prioritizing sustainability who want something different from tablets.
The JAWS System
How it works:
- Purchase reusable JAWS bottle with concentrate cartridge
- Fill bottle with water
- Snap in cartridge (it sits in the neck)
- Spray draws water through concentrate
- When cartridge is empty, snap in a new one
Why it's different from tablets:
- No waiting for dissolution
- Consistent concentration throughout bottle
- More intuitive for users unfamiliar with mixing
Safety Analysis
EWG-B rated with plant-derived ingredients:
- Alcohol ethoxylates: Plant-derived surfactants
- Sodium citrate: Water softener
- Fragrance: Essential oil-based options available
The B rating reflects some ingredient complexity, but the formula avoids major red flags.
Performance
Kitchen (8/10): Good on daily messes and moderate grease.

General (8/10): Effective on most household surfaces.
