What do our labels mean?

Meliora Cleaning Products presents itself as a cleaning brand focused on sustainability, transparency, and avoiding ingredients and packaging it describes as harmful to people or the planet. Its sustainability page argues against petroleum-derived detergents, single-use plastic packaging, harsh chemicals, and vague environmental claims. The company says its name means “better” in Latin and reflects a commitment to setting a new standard for sustainable cleaning products. It also states that its founder was inspired to start the business after not being able to tell what was in her laundry detergent, and that the goal is to make it clear what goes into every product.

Meliora Cleaning Products Sustainability Actions

Avoiding harsh ingredients

Our vision is a clean, happy, and healthy home life for you — one that doesn't rely on secret formulas and mysterious chemicals. Conventional cleaning products are commonly made with ingredients and packaging that are harmful to people or the planet. Manufacturers often rely on synthetic, petroleum-derived detergents and unnecessary additives, such as dyes and fragrances, to make their products.

Calling out plastic waste

Conventional cleaning products use a lot of plastic. Sometimes the plastic is obvious, like laundry jugs and dish soap bottles. Plastic is sometimes hidden inside the packaging as pouches, liners, and wrappers. Newer innovations in cleaning have gone even further by putting plastic directly into the product in the form of dissolvable pods and sheets.

Using transparent labeling

Greenwashing is part of a larger issue of secrecy in the cleaning products industry. Many manufacturers do not want to disclose what they use to make their products because they’re more concerned about profits than the health of their customers, workers, and the environment. Our goal is to make it perfectly clear what goes into every product we make.

Hiring with benefits

We care as much about our staff as we do about the planet, so we are living wage certified and offer a full benefits package including quarterly profit sharing and health care.

Expanding operations

We are officially opening a brand new role - Manufacturing Engineer - on our Operations team here at Meliora Cleaning Products. I'm especially excited about this one because as an ASQ Black Belt myself, I know the impact Lean Six Sigma and process improvement can have on our operations and business.
