Agar Citra‑Mist Plant‑Derived Spray & Wipe Cleaner 1L‑20L ‑ Biodegradable, Phosphate-Free Multi-Surface Cleaner for Walls, Benches & Hard Surfaces

What Is Agar Citra-Mist?

Agar Citra-Mist is a general-purpose spray and wipe cleaning concentrate built around a plant-derived surfactant base rather than the petrochemical solvents found in a lot of older-style cleaners. It carries a fresh lemon fragrance and is designed to lift everyday grease and grime from most hard surfaces in a single wipe, while keeping the formulation phosphate-free, low VOC and readily biodegradable.

Key Benefits of Agar Citra-Mist

• Plant-derived, renewable surfactant base instead of petrochemical solvents
• Phosphate-free, low VOC and readily biodegradable formulation
• Concentrate format dilutes from 1:5 up to 1:20, so one container covers a lot of ground
• Genuinely multi-surface: walls, tabletops, benches, doors, laminate, paint and vinyl
• No special PPE needed once diluted to working strength
• Not classified as a Dangerous Good, and non-flammable

How Does Agar Citra-Mist Work?

Citra-Mist is a water-based cleaner formulated with nonionic surfactants derived from plant sources. These surfactants break down grease, grime and general soiling and lift it away from the surface, so a single spray and wipe pass is usually enough for everyday cleaning rather than repeated scrubbing. Because the formula avoids alkyl phenol ethoxylates, phthalates, heavy metals, ammonia and chlorine, it’s a gentler option for surfaces that get wiped down often throughout the day.

How to Use Agar Citra-Mist

Citra-Mist is supplied as a concentrate, not a ready-to-use spray, so it needs to be diluted with water before use. Agar’s guidance covers a range from around 1 part Citra-Mist to 5 parts water for heavier soiling, up to 1:20 for light, routine maintenance cleaning, so you can adjust the strength to the job rather than using one fixed ratio for everything. Once diluted, spray it onto the surface, spread it out with a damp cloth or sponge, wipe the surface clean, and rinse the cloth regularly in clean water as you go. The concentrate itself should be handled with gloves and eye protection in a well-ventilated area, but once it’s diluted to working strength no special PPE is needed for normal use.

What Surfaces Can Agar Citra-Mist Be Used On?
