Ecolab picks Home Depot for launch of first consumer cleaning products

Ecolab Inc. (NYSE: ECL), the St. Paul-based maker of water treatment systems and cleaning chemicals, is launching its first-ever consumer product line.

The new line, Ecolab Scientific Clean, is being sold exclusively at The Home Depot (NYSE: HD), the home improvement retailing giant based in Atlanta.

Ecolab's Scientific Clean product line includes four product categories:

• Bathroom cleaners
• Degreasers
• Pressure washer concentrate
• Floor care

Prices generally run in the $6 to $24 range.

Ecolab has sold cleaning products for years, but they've generally been aimed for commercial or industrial markets. The company's traditional customers include hospitals, airports, hotels and the like. That said, Ecolab's brand has been plenty visible to consumers in recent years, as companies nationwide made prominent displays of their Covid-era sanitization efforts.

“Every day, in countries all over the world, restaurants, hospitals and hotels put their trust in Ecolab products to keep their kitchens, operating theaters and guest rooms clean. For the very first time, our new Ecolab Scientific Clean products will bring 100 years of expertise and innovation to Home Depot customers,” said Ecolab President and Chief Operating officer Darrell Brown in a statement.

“Having Ecolab Scientific Clean on our shelves not only provides our Pro customers to deliver a professional clean, but it allows our DIY customers to bring that cleaning power into their homes, as well," said Jeff Kinnaird, The Home Depot's executive vice president of merchandising.
