Method All-Purpose Surface Cleaner

Method is a well-known brand of household cleaning products that positions itself as an eco-friendly and stylish alternative to traditional cleaning supplies. Founded in 2000 in San Francisco, the brand gained popularity for its colorful, non-toxic formulations and uniquely shaped bottles designed by Karim Rashid. The brand's philosophy centers on the 'power of soap' and using naturally derived ingredients.

Since its inception, Method has expanded its product line to include hand washes, dish soaps, and laundry detergents. A significant milestone in the brand's history occurred in 2012 when it merged with the Belgian eco-cleaner company Ecover. This union created a global leader in green cleaning, combining American design with European sustainable manufacturing expertise. The production for North American markets is primarily centered at their LEED-certified 'South Side Soapbox' factory in Chicago.

In 2017, the brand reached a new level of global reach when it was acquired by SC Johnson, a major American multinational specialized in household cleaning supplies and consumer chemicals. Under SC Johnson's ownership, Method continues to operate as a distinct brand, maintaining its focus on biodegradable formulas and sustainable packaging while leveraging SC Johnson's extensive global distribution network.
