We use only what you need to clean your home: a gentle formula of baking soda and vegetable soap made with organic coconut oil. The scented version is made with organic essential oils—no mysterious “fragrance” blends that contain undisclosed ingredients.

Our Gentle Home Cleaning Scrub is effective on most hard surfaces, including stainless steel, porcelain, ceramic tiles, and stovetops. It is not intended for use on natural, sealed stone, or non-stick cookware.

All of our ingredients are MADE SAFE® Certified, Leaping Bunny certified cruelty-free, and vegan. We list every ingredient, including scents, on the front label so you can see what’s in your cleaner.

Our plastic-free cleaning powder is packaged in a recyclable paper and steel canister.

Available in unscented and peppermint tea tree.

Net wt. 12 oz. (340 g).

Our Ingredients — Meliora Cleaning Products

Safer Ingredients, Listed on the Label

Our cleaning powder is MADE SAFE® Certified, meaning it meets the strictest ingredient screening requirement in the industry. MADE SAFE® certification means that a product has been Made With Safe Ingredients™ that are not known or suspected to harm human health, animals, aquatic life, or ecosystems.

This powder cleaner is made from baking soda and vegetable soap. It is free of bleach, chlorine, dyes, preservatives, and other harsh chemicals commonly used in cleaning powders. The scented variety is made with organic essential oils, not synthetic fragrances.

Our Packaging — Meliora Cleaning Products

Plastic-Free, Eco-Friendly Packaging

Our eco-friendly cleaning powder is concentrated and packaged to minimize waste and environmental impact. By making a concentrated dry powder, we eliminate the need for added preservatives or unnecessary plastic, like hidden liners or PVA pods and sheets.

Powder cleaner is lighter and more concentrated than liquid cleaner, making it more energy- and cost-effective to ship to you. It also takes up less space in your home—our can is only 3.75 inches tall and 3.2 inches wide.

Transparency

We strive for transparency and accuracy, not greenwashing or misleading claims. Here are key terms we use to describe our products and what we mean when we use them:

People- and Planet-Friendly

We aim to make the best cleaning products we can with people and the planet in mind. “People- and planet-friendly” is our shorthand for that goal and the decisions and practices we make to support it. We use the terms “sustainable” and “sustainably” in a similar way to describe our products and practices.

We give specific examples to back up these phrases whenever we can, including factual descriptions of ingredients and packaging, company practices, and third-party certifications that hold us accountable.

Learn more about our sustainability.

Plastic-Free

Plastic-free means that the finished product contains no plastic in the ingredients and packaging.

While we design our finished products to eliminate as much plastic as possible, plastic may still be used in other parts of the product life cycle, such as the supply chain and manufacturing processes. For instance, raw materials may arrive at our factory in plastic shipping materials, and our team members use plastic gloves when handling chemicals during soapmaking.

Learn more about plastic-free cleaning products.

Safer Ingredients

Conventional cleaning products pose numerous health risks for people and the planet. We provide safer alternatives made with ingredients, materials, and processes that minimize negative impact. 

We value third-party screenings that help us verify that our products meet our high standards for safety. Our products are MADE SAFE® Certified for ingredient safety.

Good cleaner

Bought this to clean my toliet bowl. It does a great job. However, it is very expensive for the size of container you get. Will be looking for a more economical cleaner.

Great for kitchen and bathroom cleaning

I love this scrub. I use it most often for my kitchen sink, sometimes for this bathroom sink and sometimes for the stovetop. It smells good and it's not harsh.
