Starter Kit, Electrolyzer Appliance with Activator Capsules

An appliance that makes your disinfectant from salt, water, and vinegar, so you stop buying trigger bottles of it. The solution itself is hypochlorous acid with nothing else in it. The hardware is plastic, but it is plastic you keep, and it retires a shelf of disposable spray bottles.

3 / 10 Medium plastic footprint $$$
