The FACTS

 

SQUEAK  happened organically: from the hearts and minds of parents who demanded cleaner and better products for their family.

The recipes came together and the product gained traction among friends and family before it grew into a Wilmington brand. But the clean truth was too important to keep to our corner of the country ... so we're here to share the facts and our honest products with all of you! 

WHY? Because everyone deserves access to clean cleaning supplies and transparency around the hazards of using "the other stuff" 

Slamming other products is not a route we are interested in taking. The smear campaign approach is a bad look for politicians (cough cough) and business owners alike. We're not here for that - We are here for collaboration and education!

Let's join together! Take time to learn about what is in SQUEAK products vs the bad stuff out there. Read below to learn about commonly used harmful ingredients and what to avoid the next time you are choosing a product. 

CHEMICALS TO AVOID:
