Mix a concentrated cleaner to the right dilution for a spray bottle.
A parts-water ratio says how many parts of water mix with one part of concentrate. Dividing the bottle total between concentrate and water keeps the ratio exact. Correct dilution balances cleaning power against surface safety, so following the ratio prevents both streaking and chemical waste.
Cleaning Solution Dilution
Concentrate = total / (parts water + 1)
