Dilution ratios
How to dilute concentrate
1:10, 1:20, 1:50 — how much is that per litre of water. Pick a concentrate and the ratio and compatible tools fill in by themselves.

The ratio depends on the tool: the same product dilutes differently for a foam cannon and for a bucket. You can also calculate without picking a product — just type in the ratio and the volume.
Dilution questions
1:10 — how much is that per liter of water?
100 ml (3.4 fl oz) of concentrate gives you 1.1 L (37.2 fl oz) of solution.
If you want exactly one liter of finished solution — 91 ml (3.1 fl oz) of concentrate and 909 ml (30.7 fl oz) of water.
1:20 — how do you dilute it?
50 ml (1.7 fl oz) per liter of water. For a liter of finished solution — 48 ml (1.6 fl oz) of concentrate and 952 ml (32.2 fl oz) of water.
What does a 1:5 ratio mean?
One part product to five parts water. Per liter of water — 200 ml (6.8 fl oz); per liter of finished solution — 167 ml (5.6 fl oz).
If the concentrate is 1:6, how much do you need for 2 L (67.6 fl oz) of water?
333 ml (11.3 fl oz). The rule is simple: divide the volume of water by the number after the colon.
2000 ml (67.6 fl oz) ÷ 6 = 333 ml (11.3 fl oz).
1:50 — how much is that?
20 ml (0.7 fl oz) per liter of water. That's how you dilute super concentrates: you use very little, and it's easy to miss by eye — measure it.
What do you measure with if you don't have a measuring cup?
A tablespoon is 15 ml (0.5 fl oz), a teaspoon is 5 ml (0.2 fl oz).
Jug caps vary, so measure yours once and use it from then on.
Where do you find the ratio for your product?
On the product page — it's listed there for every product.
