Our formulations are designed to be safe for those with fragrance allergies and sensitivity to chemicals. The Better Home Cleaners are free of all synthetic fragrances which release volatile compounds to pollute indoor air and harm the respiratory system. For some cleaning products, we do use milder, natural, and safe fragrances. Our products offer complete deodorisation and neutralise the source of bad odour.

Pro-tip: Strong fragrance in products just masks (covers) the bad odour, it doesn’t eliminate the source.

Products that claim to have an 'anti-bacterial formula' disinfect by killing bacteria, and usually contain pesticides that do not qualify as safe, non-toxic, or biodegradable. The Better Home cleaning products are free of all toxic substances and pesticides. This makes them child-safe, skin-friendly, and eco-friendly. Our floor and toilet cleaner formulations degrade harmful microorganisms by breaking up their cell walls and washing them away.

Cleaning refers to the removal of debris, oils, and organic matter. Disinfecting is a process that kills all biological matter, whether it is beneficial or harmful. Overuse of disinfectants is linked to antibiotic resistance. Heard of superbugs?

The Better Home cleaners are free of toxic chemicals, pesticides, and other non-biodegradable substances. They deliver safe but powerful and effective cleaning.

The manufacturers of our Toilet Cleaner and Floor Cleaner have a GreenPro certification. GreenPro follows a life cycle approach for certifying a product. It considers everything from raw material extraction to the end of the product’s useful life. We are in the process of obtaining a green certification for our other cleaners. Watch this space.

Our bottles are made of durable, high-density plastic. They are designed and meant for reuse for a long time. You see, we conducted a lot of research looking for sustainable packaging options. We discovered that alternatives like metal and glass have a higher carbon footprint if you consider mining, production, and transportation processes. Reason why we encourage you to reuse the bottles as much as possible. If you are on a subscription plan, we ship out refill pouches from the second order onwards. You can refill existing bottles and reduce your plastic footprint on the planet. We don’t stop there. We also take back our plastic pouches for recycling. Just collect a bunch and ship them to us. The cost of sending it to us is nothing compared to the cost of saving the environment, right?

If you decide to dispose of the bottles, please send them across to your nearest scrap dealer. The high-quality plastic in the bottles means they are highly valuable to recyclers and will be recycled.

Insider scoop: Our teams are testing product stability and transport-worthiness of bottles with a significant amount of PCR, or recycled plastic. We can’t wait to start shipping them soon!
