WHO WE ARE
Hello! We are Robyn and Monika, founders of Mint Cleaning located in Ucluelet, BC. We met at a Mom group in 2016—it was friendship at first sight and business partners the following day. We started a cleaning company that became an overnight success, with a full team servicing vacation rentals, residential, and commercial cleans.
After suffering from the harmful effects of harsh cleaning chemicals, we knew it was time to switch to safer, eco-friendly products. As professional cleaners, we understand what it takes to get the job done right, and we weren't willing to compromise on effectiveness. So, we began experimenting with our own recipes and formulated a line of cleaning products that are both effective and safe to use in your home.
Over the past few years, we’ve significantly expanded our product line. What started as a few eco-friendly cleaning products has now grown into an extended cleaning product line, as well as a self-care product line that is continually growing.
We were featured in the Spring Jilly Box 2022, won Best E-Commerce Experience in the 20th Annual Small Business BC Awards in Vancouver, and today, our products are available in over 200 retail stores and refilleries across Canada.
All of our products are made in small batches with the highest quality ingredients, ensuring the best results while being eco-friendly, biodegradable, and refillable. We’ve also introduced refill programs and bulk options to help reduce waste, reinforcing our commitment to a cleaner planet.
From our humble beginnings as a small cleaning company to becoming a recognized brand in homes across Canada, we are proud of how far we’ve come—and we're excited to keep growing, one clean and caring product at a time
Our Commitment to Giving Back
