What else do we love about Method?

If there are any questions or queries you still have, their FAQ section is very thorough.

Over the years Method became one of the fastest growing private companies in America and began launching truly eco-friendly product lines.
In 2012, Method and Ecover joined forces. – Method was essentially acquired by Ecover. But they operate as largely separate entities to create planet-friendly cleaning products. In 2018 they were both acquired by SC Johnson.
