Household cleaners are products that are used to clean soft or hard surfaces in the home. With an extensive amount of cleaners on the market, we’ve rounded up the latest trends and opportunities for brands and formulators within this area.
Sustainable solutions - Consumers seek to minimise the eco footprint of their cleaning regimes. With packaging and plastic under general scrutiny, ‘green’ and ‘natural’ household cleaners are rising to the forefront over ‘harsher’ chemical cleaners.
COVID-19 - The pandemic has impacted consumers who are looking for ways to protect themselves and their homes. There has been a significant surge in antibacterial hard surface care launches, with formulators increasing the inclusion of natural ingredients to mitigate consumer concern.
Refills - Refillable hard surface care continues to thrive, with brands increasingly offering consumer-friendly options to encourage uptake. Meanwhile, brands are turning to botanical and organic ingredients to tap into the growing interest in natural cleaning products.
On behalf of Givuadan, Surfachem distributes an extensive portfolio of ECOCERT and biodegradable fragrances for surface cleaners. From fruity aromas, to energetic fragrances, Givaudan’s fragrances offer a whole new dimension to home care formulations.
Our natural fragrance picks…
In addition to the above, surface care cleaners have more recently incorporated ‘pink fragrances’, inspired by cleanfluencers on Instagram, such as Mrs. Hinch and Lyndsey Queen of Clean!
