Is Domestos an ethical cleaning products brand? 

Owned by Unilever, Domestos is a cleaning product brand. Unfortunately, Domestos has a below-benchmark score on The Good Shopping Guide’s Cleaning Products Ethical Ratings Table.

Because of Domestos’ below-benchmark score within The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Cleaning Products sector, it cannot yet be classed as an ethical cleaning products brand. Regardless of this, we still encourage Domestos to apply for Ethical Accreditation. After The Good Shopping Guide has received Domestos’ application, it will offer the brand some advice on how to become a more ethical and sustainable cleaning products brand.
