Who We Are

We’re Robyn and Monika, co-founders of Mint Cleaning, an award-winning eco-friendly home and body care brand based in Ucluelet, BC. We met in a mom group in 2016, best friends at first sight, business partners the next day!

What started as a local cleaning company quickly evolved into something much bigger. After experiencing the harmful effects of traditional cleaning products, we were determined to create safer, plant-based alternatives that actually worked. So, we hit our kitchens and began formulating our own. What started as a few homemade blends turned into a full line of eco-friendly cleaning products that people couldn’t get enough of!

We’ve been featured on Dragons’ Den, where 4 out of 5 dragons wanted a deal, and we proudly partnered with Brian Scudamore from 1-800 Got Junk. Along the way, we’ve won multiple awards, opened our flagship retail store, and launched into over 250 retail locations across Canada.

These days, we’re not just building a brand, we’re also stepping onto stages to share our journey of saying yes before you're ready, building with heart, and trusting your gut. We’re passionate about helping women turn bold ideas into something real, even if it’s messy (and especially if it’s messy).

Milestones & Recognition

We’re beyond grateful for the recognition we’ve received. From being featured in the Spring 2022 Jilly Box to winning Best E-Commerce Experience at the 2023 Small Business BC Awards, being nominated for the RBC Women of Influence Awards, and receiving various regional nominations. Plus, landing a spot on Dragons’ Den in November 2024!

In 2023, we also achieved another milestone; opening our very own retail store, bringing Mint Cleaning directly to our customers in Ucluelet, a space that reflects our values of sustainability and clean living locally.

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!
