The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Meliora formed in Brooklyn, New York, in 2015. The founders built a cleaning product line from soap and soda ash. Their signature product, the Cleaning Concentrate, arrived in tablet form, dissolving in water to make liquid cleaner. This format cut plastic waste and shipping weight. The tablets gained traction with zero-waste households and environmental retailers. Today Meliora operates across North America, selling refillable cleaning supplies through direct channels and specialty stores. The brand ranks fifth among 21,133 tracked brands in Home, Kitchen & Appliances. Most customers know them for bathroom and kitchen cleaners that arrive in minimal packaging.
