Green Future Living

This natural soap company hopes to make green cleaning easier than ever.


Most people are familiar with the stringent, citrus sting of cleaning products. That scent means something has been scrubbed, wiped, and scoured within an inch of its existence, disinfected to the point that it’s finally clean — right?

I grew up in Finland, where detergents were plant-based simple and effective goods that made all mundane chores sparkly and clean. Hence the typical slogan "Soap And Water Cleans Everything Like New". In addition to the sustainable living style recycling was a common practise since the 1960s.

In North America, we’ve believed that effective household cleaning products require disposable, single-use packaging and harsh chemicals like bleach,”

Since 2011, the Brooklyn-based company has created natural soap and cleaning products that are all-natural, Eco-friendly, and cruelty-free — with chic packaging.

But instead of going the DIY route, the owners turned their passion for reducing waste and creating safe cleaning products into a business. “And Common Good was born: safe, green, plant-based soaps and cleaners combined with refill pouches where people could refill their bottles at home to eliminate single-use plastic bottles from the recycling stream for years to come.” These recyclable and refillable pouches use 86% less plastic than your regular grocery store plastic bottles.

Today the available new goods are refillable empty glass bottles, refill pouches, linen sprays and hand sanitizers.

Refilling needs to happen in every home, and it is important to make it accessible to more people, not just those that live near a neighbourhood refill station. Most importantly, refilling needs to be easy.

These suds are in a daily use in the barn store and at home. Truly tested by us and our family. We pledge these cleaners really work to make all your surroundings sparkle.
