How to Launch a Cleaning Brand in 90 Days

How to Launch a Cleaning Brand in 90 Days

Aug 29, 2025Darren Fleury

Have you ever wanted to launch your own cleaning brand but felt overwhelmed by the process? From product development to packaging and compliance, it can seem like a maze. At Innovation Chem, we specialise in helping businesses of all sizes bring cleaning products to market quickly, safely, and cost-effectively. In fact, many of our clients go from idea to launch in as little as 90 days. Here’s how.


Step 1: Define Your Brand & Market (Week 1–2)

Every successful product starts with a clear vision. Ask yourself:

  • Who is your target audience? (e.g. households, hotels, car care, retail)
  • What problem are you solving? (eco-friendly, VOC-free, bulk supply, fragrance-led experience)
  • How will your brand stand out? (packaging, sustainability, performance)

We work with you to refine this into a product brief that guides the rest of the process.


Step 2: Choose Your Products (Week 2–3)

Do you want to launch with a single hero product or a complete range? Options include:

  • Household cleaning: multi-surface sprays, bathroom cleaners, glass cleaners
  • Hospitality & commercial: bulk floor cleaners, kitchen degreasers, laundry solutions
  • Specialist products: car care, outdoor cleaners, eco or VOC-free formulations

We’ll help you choose proven formulas from our library or develop something bespoke in our R&D lab.


Step 3: Samples & Testing (Week 3–5)

This is where ideas become real. Our lab prepares small-batch samples for you to test on real surfaces. We fine-tune:

  • Fragrance (fresh, luxury, eco-inspired)
  • Performance (grease removal, streak-free clarity, anti-fog, etc.)
  • Safety & compliance (pH, stability, certifications)

Once you approve, we’re ready to scale.


Step 4: Packaging & Branding (Week 4–6)

Packaging isn’t just about bottles — it’s about brand identity. At Innovation Chem, we offer:

  • Bottle sizes from 250 ml to 25 L
  • Caps, triggers, closures, and induction seals
  • Recyclable, rPET, and eco-friendly packaging options

We also advise on labelling to ensure full compliance with UK/EU regulations (CLP, REACH, BPR).


Step 5: Production & Quality Control (Week 6–10)

Once approved, your product moves into full-scale manufacturing. Every batch is:

  • Weighed and mixed in our IBC vessels
  • Batch coded for full traceability
  • Induction sealed for safety and leak prevention
  • QC checked for pH, viscosity, appearance, and performance

From here, your products are ready for distribution — whether that’s direct to consumers, retail shelves, or overseas export.


Step 6: Launch & Scale (Week 10–13)

Within 90 days, you can go from an idea to a fully packaged, compliant, and market-ready cleaning brand. Whether you start with 500 units or 5,000, we’ll scale production as your sales grow.
