The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Better Life started in the United States. The brand makes plant-based cleaning products. Their signature spray cleaners use citrus and plant extracts instead of harsh chemicals. The products cut through grease without ammonia or bleach. They gained traction in the early 2000s as consumers shifted toward safer household cleaners. Today, Better Life sells nationwide in supermarkets and online retailers. The brand ranks seventh in the Home, Kitchen & Appliances category across 21,133 tracked brands. Their bottles carry simple labels listing recognizable ingredients. Distribution spans major chains including Target and Whole Foods. The company remains privately held and focused on the all-purpose cleaner market.
