The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Cleancult launched in Germany in 2016. The brand makes concentrated cleaning products sold in refillable bottles. Their formula reduces plastic waste by eighty percent compared to standard cleaners. The concentrate format ships lighter and takes up less shelf space than diluted alternatives. Customers mix each bottle with water at home. The brand built its reputation on sustainability without sacrificing cleaning power. Today Cleancult operates across Europe and ranks among the top eco-conscious cleaning brands. The company appears in 21,133 tracked brands globally and ranks best in Home, Kitchen & Appliances at number fourteen. Their model challenges the industry standard of shipping mostly water in plastic jugs.
