Mint Cleaning Co. is a Canadian-based, female-owned natural cleaning company founded by two moms on a mission to make cleaning safer, healthier, and more enjoyable.

Based in Ucluelet, British Columbia, Mint is known for its non-toxic, eco-friendly cleaning products that are crafted using natural, plant-based ingredients and pure essential oils.

Their product line includes everything from all-purpose cleaners and scrubs to dish soaps, laundry detergents and more that offer effective cleaning without harsh chemicals.

With a strong commitment to sustainability, Mint uses recyclable packaging, biodegradable ingredients, and prioritizes low-waste solutions. Their products are safe for people, pets, and the planet, and they're especially popular among health-conscious families and individuals sensitive to synthetic fragrances or allergens.

How Mint Got Started

Monika and Robyn met in a mom group in 2016, best friends at first sight, business partners the next day!

What started as a local cleaning company quickly evolved into something much bigger. After experiencing the harmful effects of traditional cleaning products, they were determined to create safer, plant-based alternatives that actually worked, and began formulating their own products. What started as a few homemade blends turned into a full line of eco-friendly cleaning products that people couldn’t get enough of!

Mint Cleaning Products We Carry

We're proud to carry the full line up of core Mint Cleaning products.

Currently our best sellers are the all purpose cleaner, glass cleaner, dishwasher tabs and laundry booster!

Mint's New Personal Care Line

In the last year or two, Mint has transitioned from a cleaning company and began expanding into the personal care industry.

From their body wash that makes your shower feel (and smell like a spa) to their delightful shower steamers and rosemary + mint shampoo and conditioner, their personal care products are perfect for health conscious individuals who want to swap their bath products for cleaner alternatives.

Why We Love Mint Cleaning

One of the benefits of shopping at a small, local health food store is the care and attention that goes into choosing our products. We genuinely pick products that we’d trust in our own homes, and Mint Cleaning ticks all of our boxes.

Female-owned company
Products are made here in Canada
Refillable, low waste products and recyclable packaging
No synthetic fragrances. All products use essential oils

We also love the versatility of their products and how they showcase this on their social media channels. Each Mint product can be used in a variety of ways which not only helps your money go farther, it also dramatically cuts down on the amount of cleaning products you have in your home.

As of February 2026, we’re the only store in the Peterborough County and Northumberland County area to carry Mint products, and have customers driving from Durham Region and surrounding areas to stock up…yes, it’s that good!

Refilling Your Mint Products At The Village Apothecary

Whether you bring in your bottles you’ve ordered directly from Mint, bring in your own containers like a mason jar, or purchase the bottles off the shelf here at The Village Apothecary and bring them back when empty, our refillery is a great way to save money and reduce your waste footprint.
