The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Mrs. Meyer's started in 1979 in Wisconsin when Thelma Meyer mixed cleaning formulas in her kitchen. The company makes plant-derived household cleaners and soaps. Hand soap in iconic glass bottles became their signature product, each scented with essential oils instead of synthetic fragrance. Thelma insisted on simplicity: biodegradable ingredients, straightforward labels, no animal testing. The brand reached national distribution through grocery stores and Target during the 2000s. Today Mrs. Meyer's operates across North America as a subsidiary of SC Johnson. Among 21,133 tracked brands, the company ranks fifth in the Home, Kitchen & Appliances category. Their positioning rests on the premise that everyday cleaning need not sacrifice environmental responsibility or aesthetic appeal. The bottles remain distinctive—a design choice that separates them from competitors on the shelf.

AI summary of 5 reviews · as of Jun 2026
Mrs. Meyer's is a fragrance-forward, plant-derived cleaning brand trusted for gentle formulations that avoid harsh chemicals, though it delivers everyday maintenance rather than heavy-duty cleaning power.
Where reviewers disagree: One reviewer found performance comparable to mainstream dish soap in a head-to-head test, while others position Mrs. Meyer's as a gentler alternative to harsher brands; Scent descriptions split between refreshing and unusual, with the herbal undertones appreciated by some and unexpected by others
Mixed reviewsWhat they praise
- Formulas are free from parabens, phthalates, ammonia, chlorine, and artificial colors, using plant-derived ingredients and essential oils instead
- Safe and gentle enough for households with eczema-prone skin, children, and pets without causing irritation
- Scents are distinctive and pleasant, leaning herbal and botanical rather than synthetic, though opinions on intensity vary
- Concentrate formats reduce plastic waste and last a long time when diluted correctly
- Biodegradable formulations appeal to users wanting safer, more natural options in the home
What they knock
- Cleaning power is adequate for everyday maintenance but struggles with stubborn grease, deep stains, or dried-on grime
- Fragrances can be strong initially and may overwhelm those sensitive to scents, even natural ones
- Proper dilution is essential; too much concentrate leaves sticky residue on floors or surfaces

Frequently asked
What buyers want to know.
What makes Mrs. Meyer's different from mainstream cleaning brands?
Mrs. Meyer's formulas use plant-derived ingredients and essential oils instead of harsh chemicals like ammonia, chlorine, parabens, and phthalates. Reviewers note the brand is gentler on skin and safe for households with eczema-prone children and pets, while still delivering everyday cleaning.
How strong is Mrs. Meyer's at cleaning tough, stuck-on messes?
Reviewers say Mrs. Meyer's handles everyday maintenance well but struggles with stubborn grease, deep stains, and dried-on grime. If you need industrial-strength cleaning power, this brand is not the right choice.
Are the scents overpowering?
Reviewers are split on scent intensity. The brand leans herbal and botanical rather than synthetic, which some find refreshing and others unexpected. Some reviewers note the fragrances can be strong initially, even though they come from essential oils, so intensity may be an issue for those sensitive to scents.
Who should buy Mrs. Meyer's?
Reviewers recommend Mrs. Meyer's for households that prioritize natural ingredients, skin safety, and pleasant botanical scents over maximum cleaning power, especially those with allergies, eczema, children, or pets. Skip it if you need unscented or faintly scented products.
Do the concentrate formats actually save money and reduce waste?
Reviewers confirm concentrate formats reduce plastic waste and last a long time when diluted correctly. Proper dilution is important—too much concentrate can leave sticky residue on floors or surfaces.
How does Mrs. Meyer's perform compared to regular dish soap?
Reviewers disagree on this. One found performance comparable to mainstream dish soap in a head-to-head test, while others position Mrs. Meyer's primarily as a gentler alternative rather than an equal performer to standard brands.
