METHOD

"about as stylish as a household cleaner can get"
-New York Magazine

Why is it that most products for cleaning the home look so bad, smell so bad, and contain chemicals that you wouldn't want to leave out on your counter?

In the summer of 2000, two entrepreneurs from the San Francisco Bay Area set about to give the cleaning category a much needed face-lift. Eric Ryan, a style and brand fanatic, enlisted the help of his high-school buddy Adam Lowry, a chemical engineer from Stanford University and method home care™ was born. The goal was to evolve the household cleaner from an object that lives under the sink to a "must-have" counter-top accessory.

method™'s first product line of five spray cleaners was such a success in test market that Eric and Adam quickly recruited a talented team to build the business. Industry experts from Williams Sonoma, and suppliers to The Gap, Bath and Body Works and The Limited rounded out the team.

method™ believes that cleaning your home should also be a reflection of whom you are and how you want to live. method™ is fresh aromas, innovative packaging, and a belief that the act of cleaning is not only the elimination of dirt but also the creation of a beautiful, pure and uncompromised environment.

The method™ team is passionately focused on bringing you great looking, great smelling and environmentally friendly products for your home - available at everyday prices.

DISH SOAPS Revolutionary dish soap
METHOD's new line of dish soaps was just released and is available in select markets. What’s unique about them? How about a bottle that you don’t have to invert to use. Just pick up and squeeze to instantly dispense soap without a mess. Fragrances are crafted from essential oils and the formula is A+.

Their advanced formula lifts food particles from dishes and breaks down grease and baked-on foods on contact. A fast-rinse formula lowers surface tension allowing the soap to rinse cleanly and immediately. And of course all method products are non-toxic, environmentally safe with no phosphates and absolutely no animal testing.

glass cleaner
$6.00
28 fl oz bottle


This might just become your new favorite glass cleaner. Why? Because we created a great non-streak formula without the obnoxious scent of ammonia. Available in either mint or coral fragrances. Cleans and shines glass, mirrors, chrome and other shiny surfaces.

For best results try cleaning with newspapers instead of paper towels.

In stock

   
daily shower spray
$6.00
28 fl oz bottle


Just leave this bottle in your shower and spray all surfaces after each shower. This dissolves soap scum and hard water stains while preventing mildew from growing. It works by forming a dry, relatively clear film which when water hits it during your next shower activates it and cleans the shower. Soap scum finds the surface too "slippery" to attach to and it rinses off with the water down the drain. Think of it as a self-cleaner for your shower. It is absolutely safe with no toxic vapors. Just the beautiful scent of Indonesian Ylang-Ylang.

For best results start with a clean shower. However, if starting with a soiled shower expect to see hard water stains and soap scum disappear in about 10 days. Safe on granite, tile and marble.

MUDHAUS
the visual designer behind METHOD

"trade Mr. Clean's mug for a slick-looking multisurface solution"
-Time Out

In that same summer of 2000, method founders Eric Ryan and Adam Lowry called Michael Rutchik at MUDHAUS with an idea: how about a cleaning product that doesn't need to be hidden under the sink? A brand was born.

Los Angeles design and photography studio, MUDHAUS (mudhaus.com), creates the visual language, identity and graphic architecture of the method product line: vivid colors, clean lines and playful imagery are brought together into a compact and elegant visual design that makes itself at home in your home.

 

 

KARIM RASHID
the industrial designer (sculptor) behind those cool dish soap bottles

"A new soap star"
-Los Angeles Times

In early 2002 method contacted Karim Rashid (karimrashid.com) and asked if he might be interested in rethinking the dish soap bottle. Not only did he rethink it...he turned it on its head. And more head-turning creations are on the drawing board right now.
