Most people assume cleaning products are tightly regulated. Certainly, cleaning companies must be forced to prove their ingredients are safe, right?

Yeah... about that:

60,000 chemicals were grandfathered in when the Toxic Substances Control Act was passed in 1976. No safety review required. This includes the most predominant ingredients in conventional cleaning products, like sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES). Fifty years later and we're told to assume they're safe because, "well, we've always used it."

That's not proof of safety. That's the absence of scrutiny.

This is a three-minute overview of the regulations that exist and their limitations. Check out the full video on our Youtube channel at the link in our bio.

What if the "choices" on the cleaning aisle aren't really choices at all?

A handful of mega corporations own the brands you've trusted for years. And behind different labels, you'll find the same petrochemical-based ingredients… the ones linked to the health concerns families worry about most.

Removing the fragrance and calling it "free and clear" is the easiest change a brand can make. It doesn't make the rest of the formula safe.

We're Matthew and Gabby, a chemical engineer and an environmental scientist who spent a decade inside the industries that make and regulate cleaning products. When we couldn't find a brand that met our own standards, we built Be Better Goods in Akron, Ohio.

100% petrochemical-free. Plant-based. Refillable. And formulated to actually perform.

This is what it looks like when the people making your cleaning products have no reason to hide the label.

Looking for a good watch? The Plastic Detox on Netflix was really interesting and got us thinking about how much plastic and petrochemicals are in everyday items — especially cleaning products.

We shared more about why ingredients matter here:

As a local Northeast Ohio family behind Be Better Goods, we’re working to offer safer, bio-based cleaning products with thoughtful packaging for our community.

Curious — has anyone else watched it? What did you think? 🌱

Big event for a small, family-run brand.

We’re at the Great Big Home + Garden Show connecting with Northeast Ohio families who care about safer homes, fewer toxins, and products that don’t compromise on performance.

Excited to be here and looking forward to meeting so many new people!

I’m a chemical engineer, and I spent nearly a decade working in the cleaning chemicals industry.

And today, I want to help debunk one of the most common assumptions we all grew up with: If it’s on the store shelf, it must be safe.

This video isn’t about fear, it’s about understanding.
Understanding what consumer protections actually exist and where the regulations end. But mostly, understanding where we, as families, need to step in and make better informed choices.

If you want to better understand what’s in the products you use every day (and how to make simple switches for a healthier home) check out the full video on our YouTube channel.

Refilling > Restocking.
Refill, Reuse, Return > single-use plastic bottles.

We've designed a super convenient system that makes zero-waste fit your life. Each pouch refills our bottles 3 times. When the pouch runs out, save the empty! Scan the QR code on the label to order more & add a FREE return mailer to your order.

We'll send a pre-paid compostable mailer to you, you pack 3-5 empties and drop it in your mailbox. We sanitize, inspect and reuse.

It's that simple. Thanks for being part of our refill revolution 💚

Welcome to "Better Informed," a new series where I use my background in Chemical Engineering and nearly a decade in the cleaning chemicals industry to help families better informed choices for their homes.

Here’s a clip from Episode 1, now live on YouTube 👀
I break down the top 4 dish soaps in the U.S. — Palmolive, Dawn, Seventh Generation, and Mrs. Meyer’s — comparing their hazard profiles, ingredient lists, and what that means for your family’s safety.

Because when it comes to cleaning, knowing what’s in the bottle matters.

Meet our new forever bottle for Washing Up Liquid.
💧 Shatterproof
💧 Waterproof
💧 Refillable (1 pouch = 3 refills)

Add a pump of our versatile, plant-based cleaner to a basin or bucket, froth it up with warm water, and you have a soapy solution that can handle it all: dishes, baby gear, countertops, floors and more.

Powerful clean. Gentle by nature.

Let’s address the elephant in the room 🐘... why do we call it Washing Up Liquid and not just “dish soap”?

Sure, you can wash your dishes with it, but that’s just the beginning.
Add a pump to a basin or mop bucket and you’ve got a safe, plant-based cleaner for dishes, countertops, floors, and more.

One bottle. Endless uses. Zero petrochemicals.
That’s why we call it Washing Up Liquid. 💧

You’re trying to do the right thing: read the labels, buy the “safe” brand, trust the experts.
But here’s the problem:
Wirecutter, EWG, and even EPA Safer Choice all recommend a dish soap with “DANGER” on its safety sheet.

Clean shouldn’t be this confusing.
We’re here to make it simple. No petrochemicals. No hidden hazards. Just transparency.

Follow and take the guessing out of your cleaning routine.
