The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day started in 1956 in Wisconsin. Tru Meyer created the brand to make cleaning products smell better. She blended essential oils into soaps and surface cleaners. The hand soap became her signature. Meyer's approach rejected harsh chemicals for plant-derived ingredients. This choice felt radical then. The brand gained attention through small retailers, then expanded nationally. Today Mrs. Meyer's sells across major chains like Target and Walmart. The company now operates under SC Johnson ownership since 2008. Their product line spans hand soaps, dish liquids, and multi-surface sprays. Among 21,133 tracked brands, Mrs. Meyer's ranks first in Home, Kitchen & Appliances. The ranking reflects consumer trust in their formula and scent strategy.

AI summary of 3 reviews · as of Jun 2026
Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day earns praise for gentle, essential-oil-based formulas and pleasant scents, but reviewers note the products prioritize maintenance over heavy-duty cleaning.
Where reviewers disagree: One reviewer finds the rainwater scent soft and nostalgic, while another notes the lemon verbena fragrance is strong and takes adjustment; The coconut leaf pet formula is praised as light and pleasant by one reviewer, though it lacks comparison from others testing different product lines
Mixed reviewsWhat they praise
- Formulas incorporate essential oils, aloe, and olive oil instead of harsh chemicals like parabens, phthalates, ammonia, or chlorine

- Multi-surface cleaners work well for daily maintenance without leaving residue or streaks on countertops and sealed surfaces

- Biodegradable ingredients appeal to households prioritizing environmental and pet safety
What they knock
- Cleaning power falls short on stubborn grease, deep-set stains, and industrial-level messes
- Fragrances can be strong or unusual, with herbal undertones that may overwhelm scent-sensitive users
- Pet odor neutralizer does not address heavy-duty pet stains despite handling surface odors
- Improper dilution of concentrates can leave sticky residue underfoot

Frequently asked
What buyers want to know.
What makes Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day different from other cleaners?
Mrs. Meyer's formulas use essential oils, aloe, and olive oil instead of harsh chemicals like parabens, phthalates, ammonia, and chlorine. Reviewers note the brand prioritizes gentler, naturally derived ingredients that are biodegradable and safer for homes with pets and sensitive skin.
Is Mrs. Meyer's strong enough for tough cleaning jobs?
No. Reviewers say the cleaning power falls short on stubborn grease, deep-set stains, and heavy messes. The brand is built for daily maintenance on everyday surfaces, not industrial-level or heavy-duty cleaning.
Who should use Mrs. Meyer's and who should skip it?
Mrs. Meyer's is best for households that want safer, gentler daily cleaners with natural ingredients and are willing to accept lighter cleaning power for environmental and skin benefits. Skip it if you face heavy grease, deep stains, or industrial messes and need aggressive cleaning formulas.
How strong are the scents?
Reviewers are split on this. One reviewer finds the rainwater scent soft and nostalgic, while another notes the lemon verbena fragrance is strong and requires adjustment. Herbal undertones can overwhelm scent-sensitive users, so fragrance preference varies.
Do the concentrate refills really save money and reduce plastic?
Yes. The concentrate format offers economy when diluted correctly and reduces plastic waste through refill opportunities. However, improper dilution can leave sticky residue underfoot, so following directions matters.
Does the pet odor neutralizer handle pet stains?
It handles surface odors, but reviewers note it does not address heavy-duty pet stains. It is better for maintaining odor on already-clean surfaces than tackling deep-set pet messes.
