With brands like Meliora crafting eco-friendly formulas, it’s easier than ever to make the switch to cleaning and laundry products that work for you and the planet.

The History of Meliora Cleaning Products

While studying for her Masters of Environmental Engineering at Illinois Institute of Technology, founder Kate Jakubas asked the question of “what’s in our cleaning products?” and didn’t like what she found. Since then, her vision has been to use business as a tool to change the planet for the better. Kate started out by formulating her own vegetable soap to wash her laundry. Eventually, she partnered with Mike Mayer to make plant-friendly home cleaning and laundry products available to everyone.

Embrace an eco-friendly lifestyle with Meliora’s trustworthy swaps.

Dish Soap Bar, Lemon

Cruelty-free and low-waste, this lemon-scented bar soap easily replaces your liquid dish soap bottles. It was an easy shift that Thrive Market member Ellie from Colorado happily made: “It suds up nicely and it's super effective at cleaning grease and stuck-on food. You need a good scrubbing sponge or brush to get it going, but I will never go back to plastic bottles now.”

Laundry Powder, Lavender

This planet-friendly powder cleans your clothes without preservatives, dyes, or synthetic fragrances, and the subtle lavender scent makes your weekly chore even more calming. Sharon from California says “I love this detergent! It smells amazing! I have been using this on blankets and towels and they retain softness through the washing and come out clean and soft.”

Oxygen Brightener Bleach Alternative

Say goodbye to toxic bleach and boost your next load with Meliora’s alternative. The color-safe powder is made with only two simple ingredients, and Cecily from Arkansas says “I use this on my white towels and sheets. It has taken all the makeup/dirt stains out so far!”
