- In this episode of The People Teaching People Podcast, I am joined by Monika Scott and Robyn Mair, co-founders of Mint Cleaning Products.
I first learned about Mint Cleaning Products when I was at a local coffee shop and community hub - called Social Grounds - in the community of Oakridge in Calgary, Alberta. Social Grounds also sells snacks and ice cream, hosts art classes and fitness classes, and sells products made by local and Canadian small businesses.
Long story short - one of the friends that I was attending the fitness class with was raving about these Mint Cleaning Products - how awesome they were and how good they smelled! I got curious and looked into the brand and the story behind it and lo and behold I learned about Monika and Robyn and their incredible (and inspiring) story.
Monika and Robyn, the founders of Mint Cleaning Products, met in 2016 through a local mom group. The pair bonded immediately and even decided to start a cleaning business together the next day. What began as a small cleaning service in Ucluelet, BC, quickly grew into an overnight success. However, after suffering the side effects of using harsh chemical cleaners every day, they began to experiment and create their own eco-friendly, plant-based, non-toxic products. Today, Mint Cleaning Products is known across Canada for its innovative and effective solutions, available in over 200 retail stores and refilleries. With a commitment to quality, environmental responsibility, and a personal touch, Monika and Robyn have turned Mint into a trusted brand that brings green cleaning to every home.
