The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Simple Green started in 1975 in Los Angeles. Sam Jain founded the company. They make biodegradable cleaning concentrates. The original formula cleaned engine grease without toxic fumes. That product became their signature. Mechanics and industrial workers adopted it first. The brand expanded into household cleaners throughout the 1980s. Today Simple Green operates globally with products in stores across North America and Europe. The concentrate remains their core offering. Retailers stock the brand widely in home and kitchen sections. Among 21133 tracked brands, Simple Green ranks fifth in Home, Kitchen & Appliances. The company positions itself around the biodegradable angle. Industrial cleaning remains a core market alongside consumer households.
