Melaleuca and The EcoSense® Difference

The powerful Melaleuca EcoSense products are safer for the environment, and Safer for Your Home!

Dust, dirt, and grass stains are a fact of life--whether on your floors, furniture, or clothes! Many cleaners use harsh ingredients that rely on chemical reactions to eat away dirt. Unfortunately, these harsh chemicals also damage fabrics and surfaces as they clean. Melaleuca provides a safer, economical, and more effective solution for your home cleaning needs.

You might want to see the benefits demonstrated yourself, or you can drop by the EcoSense Cleaning Products page now. Regardless, thank you so much for choosing to visit us at Melaleuca EcoSense and enjoy your stay!


Safer For Your Home

The world can be harsh. We don’t think your cleaning products have to be. And that’s why we at Melaleuca created EcoSense. Who would have thought that part of the answer would be in not having products in aerosol cans? Beyond the risks associated with the pressurized cans and propellants, the aerosol particles in many household cleaners can be nearly twenty times smaller than the particles created by our trigger sprayers. And, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health**, the smaller a particle, the more easily it is inhaled. In addition, the smaller the particle, the longer it will linger in the air. Not only is it easier to inhale smaller particles, but they linger in the air hundreds of times longer. It’s no wonder that Melaleuca scientists choose trigger sprayers for our EcoSense cleaners.Melaleuca scientists were guided by their desire to create safer products when they developed MelaBrite® (our non-chlorine bleach alternative, and Diamond Brite® (our liquid automatic dishwashing detergent). Both have pH-neutral formulas, so unlike their competitive alternatives, neither is required to have a child-resistant safety cap. These are a few examples. Every Melaleuca EcoSense product we make is designed with you and your family in mind. From formulas powered by natural and naturally derived solvents instead of caustic chemicals, to trigger sprayers (instead of aerosols) designed to reduce the chances of inhalation, our products allow you to clean without being harsh.


Highly Effective
At Melaleuca, we believe that some of the best solutions still come from nature. We use the latest scientific advances, not to find a replacement for natural ingredients, but as a means of unlocking their unique powers—and we’ve made some pretty amazing discoveries. For example when developing our formula for Diamond Brite®, we were inspired by the way natural enzymes break down food during digestion, we were able to develop an enzyme formula that breaks down food stains on dishes—without requiring potentially caustic ingredients. The result? A truly revolutionary patented automatic dishwashing detergent with a pH-balanced formula so it isn’t required to have a child-resistant safety cap and doesn’t contain chlorine or phosphates, yet cleans dishes effectively.Another example is our Tub & Tile™ Soap Scum and Hard Water Remover. It has the power of twenty lemons in every bottle so it can quickly melt away built-up soap scum and hard water in seconds, but it doesn’t have any of the offensive fumes normally associated with competitive products. Try it for yourself.We understand that the health of your family and the safety of your home are your top priority, but we also understand that there’s no use buying a cleaner if it doesn’t work. Our scientists spend years of research creating products that use the best natural and naturally derived ingredients available to make our Melaleuca EcoSense cleaners work just as well as, if not better than, anything in your grocery store. We are so sure that you’ll be impressed with the effectiveness of ourEcoSense products that we guarantee them with our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If any EcoSense product fails to meet your highest expectations, contact us within 60 days for a full credit or exchange.




Eco-Friendly

Just a couple miles from Melaleuca’s world headquarters is the phenomenon that earned the town its name—Idaho Falls. Every day, thousands of gallons of pure river water cascade down over the indigenous lava rock. The display of nature’s majesty and force is awe-inspiring and energizing, but it is also fragile. Inexpensive ingredients like phosphates have the potential to disrupt the falls and choke the life out of rivers and lakes across the globe. That’s exactly what inspired Melaleuca’s scientists to spend years developing EcoSense. Relying on proven, natural or naturally derived ingredients and pioneering new ways to tap their unique power, we’ve developed an entire line of natural or naturally derived, effective, and biodegradable formulas.Many EcoSense products are super-concentrated, so there are no fillers, no unnecessary ingredients, and no large, bulky containers. That means less plastic for packaging. And, all Melaleuca EcoSense cleaners are in recyclable bottles so they can be easily recycled in areas with recycling programs. That not only makes EcoSense easier to use and store, it reduces the impact on landfills, water treatment facilities, and recycling plants as well.We do all we can to help make your world a little cleaner.You don’t have to be a member of a conservation society or memorize meaningful passages from Walden to care about the environment. It all starts with the simple understanding that whatever goes down the drain eventually ends up in the water supply. And that can eventually have a pretty big impact on your home and family.In 2004 alone, the plastic saved by using MelaPower® instead of the leading brand could make more than 500,000 laundry baskets.




Better Value

When creating EcoSense, our goal was not only to develop effective, safer products our goal was to make effective, safer products, that every family could afford to have in their home. But it’s not as easy as it sounds. Most of the leading-brand cleaners contain inexpensive ingredients that are effective, and usually it’s the environment that pays the price. Oftentimes, there are safer, more natural alternatives, but they’re much more expensive. So how do you make formulas with better, more expensive ingredients as affordable as the competition? One answer solved two problems at the same time—concentrating. By concentrating all our formulas, we not only were able to make all of our packaging smaller (reducing the impact on the environment) we were able to drastically lower costs and pass those savings on to the customer. And unlike the leading brands that spend millions on advertising and pass the costs on to the consumers, we rely only on the word-of-mouth marketing of those who have tried and loved Melaleuca's EcoSense products. It may be a little unconventional, but we at Melaleuca believe your home and family are worth it.




Powered by Nature

Nature has an abundance of cleaning power. And nature is where EcoSense formulas begin. Every EcoSense formula is developed around the most effective naturally derived ingredients—and the results are amazing. Here are some examples: • Sol-U-Guard Botanical® 2x Concentrate teams up two potent botanical germ killers: citric acid and thyme oil. This dynamic duo kills 99.9% of common household germs on hard, non-porous surfaces in less than 10 minutes. All it leaves behind is a light, fresh herbal scent.

• Sol-U-Mel® gets its legendary stain-removing power from Melaleuca Oil, which has incredible penetrating and solvent powers.

• Rustic Touch® does its beautiful work with carnauba wax, the strong natural wax that protects but never dulls or yellows.
