Welcome to Method — where we believe that the products you use every day can be beautiful, effective, and kind to the planet. Since our founding in 2001, Method has been on a mission to change the way people think about cleaning. We’re more than just soap and sprays—we’re a movement of people who believe that clean should be fun, colorful, and safe for both people and the environment.
Our Story
Method was born in San Francisco when two childhood friends, Adam Lowry and Eric Ryan, decided to challenge the world of cleaning products. They asked a simple but revolutionary question: Why can’t cleaning be beautiful? Why can’t the products we use in our homes be safe for our families and the environment, while still delivering amazing results?
Frustrated with dull, toxic cleaners in ugly bottles, they set out to create a brand that combined style with substance. What started as a small experiment in a San Francisco apartment quickly grew into a global brand with a big mission: to inspire a happy, healthy home revolution.
What We Stand For
At Method, we believe that design, sustainability, and performance can go hand in hand. That’s why we’re committed to creating products that not only work beautifully but also look beautiful and leave a lighter footprint on the planet.
- People-Friendly: Our products are made with non-toxic, plant-based ingredients that are tough on dirt but gentle on your skin, your pets, and your home.
- Planet-Friendly: We use biodegradable formulas and bottles made from recycled plastic, helping to reduce waste and conserve resources.
- Cruelty-Free: We love animals. That’s why all Method products are cruelty-free and certified by Leaping Bunny. No animal testing, ever.
- Design-Driven: We believe that your cleaning supplies should be as stylish as the rest of your home. Our colorful, beautifully designed bottles are meant to be seen—not hidden under the sink.
Sustainability in Action
Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword at Method—it’s part of everything we do. Our factory in Chicago, known as the “South Side Soapbox,” is a model of sustainable manufacturing. It’s powered by renewable energy, features a green roof with native plants, and even has an urban farm onsite. From ingredient sourcing to packaging to how we ship our products, we’re constantly working to leave the world cleaner than we found it.
Our Products
From all-purpose cleaners and dish soaps to hand washes, laundry detergents, and body care, we make products that bring joy to your everyday routines. Each one is thoughtfully formulated to be tough on messes but gentle on the planet. And because scent matters, we work with top fragrance designers to create scents that transform chores into moments of delight.
Join the Clean Revolution
At Method, we don’t just sell cleaning products—we invite you to join a movement for cleaner homes, cleaner communities, and a cleaner world. Whether you’re choosing a vibrant hand wash for your bathroom or a hardworking cleaner for your kitchen, you’re helping create a healthier planet with every pump, spray, or squirt.
