    Ah yes, let the public handle concentrated chemicals, that’s not gonna end badly…

    There’s plenty of factors of why this isn’t done more frequently, lots of these mixes need to blended correctly, or the concentration is off. Theres downsides to making it dissolve and mix easier, they can’t control the ratios and therefore quality. If you mix it too low and it doesn’t clean, you’ll be complaining and returning it, even though it’s not on them.

    So it’s can actually be cheaper and saves a bunch of lawsuits and returns that cost time and money.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s laws that limit the ability of this being done, for safety and liability reasons. The general public should really not be giving more responsibility to handle concentrated chemicals…

      For substances unsuitable to handle by the average person when undiluted, deliver them in large tanks to grocery stores etc. And have people refill reusable bottles and containers there. Less trash, potentially cheaper for the customer too.
