Windmill Refill

Sustainable cleaning chemicals to eliminate single-use plastics

Sustainable cleaning chemicals that make refill and reuse simple

Windmill Refill is AUK Hygiene’s practical closed-loop cleaning chemical system, designed to help businesses reduce single-use plastic, cut packaging waste and simplify day-to-day cleaning operations. Available across selected Windmill cleaning chemicals and the Windmill Synergy range, it gives contract cleaners, facilities managers and multi-site teams a more sustainable way to manage professional cleaning chemicals.

Cleaning and hygiene should not be complicated. Windmill Refill has been developed to make chemical storage, use and reordering easier, while helping businesses reduce unnecessary waste.

Our refillable cleaning chemical system uses durable 10L and 5L containers, 1L recharger bottles and screen-printed trigger spray bottles to support safer dilution, clearer labelling and more controlled product usage. When empty, eligible Windmill Refill containers are collected, cleaned, refilled and reused through AUK Hygiene’s closed-loop system.

Why choose Windmill Refill?

Reduce single-use plastic

Windmill Refill is designed to remove single-use plastic from your cleaning operation by replacing disposable packaging with reusable containers that are collected and refilled.

Cut waste on site

Using refillable containers can help reduce cardboard packaging, plastic waste and the volume of empty chemical containers your team needs to manage.

Improve chemical control

The combination of 10L or 5L containers, 1L recharger bottles and trigger sprays helps teams measure, dilute and use cleaning chemicals more consistently.

Support COSHH compliance

Make reordering easier

Products can be reordered online or through AUK Hygiene’s CleanScan QR code ordering system, helping staff order approved products directly from site.
