FAQs

  • We are the FIRST cleaning product line that teaches people how to clean. Originally founded as a cleaning service in 2008, we made a pivot in 2022 and thought — hey! we want to reach more people with our tried and true cleaning methods. So, we launched a refillable cleaning product line to support people in their cleaning endeavors.

    We take the emotional labor out of the research process when it comes to what cleaning products to use on what surfaces — so you can get straight to cleaning! Each product is part of a whole home cleaning system. We’ve used this cleaning system to successfully clean thousands of homes. You can use 1 or all 5 of our products. Each product has a specific function and we break that down for you on the back end as a customer.


    Believe it or not, many cleaning products are built in a boardroom. NOT US.

    Also, we don’t use any powders in our cleaning sprays. Due to the science of soap, the surfactant in liquid cleaners are way more effective. The loose surface tension in liquid soaps better remove dirt, debris, and buildup more effectively.

  • We offer single refills for all purpose, shower, and glass products. Order 1 or all 3 to sample.

    We’ve put a lot of love into developing our first scents (which are all essential oil based) and are proud of the result:

    Lemon Rose Rocket: 🍋 ✨🌹⚡️🚀
    Creamsicle Sunset: 🍊🧡🌲🍦🌅
    Galactic Mint: 🍋🌿🌱💫
    Space Forest: 🌱🫐🌲🌾 🪐

  • Once upon a time, we were a cleaning service (for 15 years, actually). We’ve got allll the insider scoop on the exact methods to use, so that you can get your home clean. We teach a cleaning system that only uses a handful of products to clean the whole house. These tried and true methods will help you develop a more effective and efficient cleaning routine.

    We send cleaning resources with the purchase of any starter kit or starter kit bundle. Once you click ‘add to cart’ and complete your purchase, you’ll automatically receive an email with access to PDF cleaning guides and step-by-step cleaning videos. We break down the entire process for you, including links to the tools you’ll need to scrub, polish, and sparkle a surface clean.

    While there's a number of products that focus on the sustainability aspects (which is great!), ours is unique in that we teach people how to clean, the non-toxic way. Instead of being built in a boardroom, these products were built by real house cleaners with real cleaning experience.

  • Our cleaners are manufactured, filled, and packaged in Portland, Oregon.

  • Our packaging is made from recyclable cardboard. Our refillable bottles are made of glass with a silicone sleeve for anti-breakage protection.

  • At The Tidy People, we are obsessed with ensuring that we avoid toxic chemicals and source the best ingredients that have proven efficacy.

    In fact, ‘natural’ doesn’t always mean ‘good for you’. Check out this resource from EWG to learn more about what ingredients to avoid when choosing home and personal care products.

  • It’s a play on the idea that our ability to create space is ‘infinite’. Outer space is yet to be fully explored or understood by humanity — it’s vast. Yet, it’s tied to our existence.

    To us, cleaning is intrinsically tied to our daily existence. It can bring meaning and feeling to our lives through finding routine + balance. We have an infinite possibility to create ‘space’ in our lives through cleaning.

  • In summary, the All Purpose Spray is safe for granite countertops.

    In general, granite and marble countertops should be cleaned with a cleaner that's neutral in PH. Low PH (anything that's acidic) such as vinegar and citrus should be avoided. High PH (anything that’s alkaline) should also be avoided.

    Our cleaner is scented with essential oils. It does have the essential oils lemon and litsea in it - but essential oil, unlike lemon juice, does not contain any citric acid, making it safe for granite, when used with distilled water.

    If using tap water, you’ll want to double check the PH of the cleaner with PH strips as the water in your area might vary in PH.

    Another ingredient included in the All Purpose Spray is organic cane alcohol (which has disinfectant properties). Alcohol based cleaners are actually the recommended cleaner for granite and marble countertops.
