Evaluation Summary
Company Insights
We found out about Meliora Cleaning Products by browsing through a list of Made Safe certified products one afternoon. That got us interested in learning more about the company. And what we found through our research was an impressive commitment to ingredient safety, sustainability, and accountability. These are particularly notable efforts given the relatively small size of the company. They clearly care and this company appears to be walking the talk when it comes to many of the issues that matter. For starters, the company is a certified B-Corp. Also, we are impressed by the fact the company takes packaging waste reduction seriously avoiding plastic in nearly all of their packaging. We like that they prioritize organic ingredients and provide good transparency about where they are grown or sourced. We’re excited to find a new cleaning & laundry products company that we can invite into our homes.
