Safely

January 2022 - June 2024

Hiring Manager

Safely™ was founded by supermoms who believe that great products should be accessible to everyone. They both saw that no cleaning brands out there had everything they wanted at an affordable price: powerful formulas that did the job, safe and thoughtfully chosen ingredients, and scents that didn’t smell like, well, CLEANING PRODUCTS. That’s why they created Safely™, to bring affordable products, without harsh chemicals, that smell amazing and actually work to every home in America. We believe plant-powered ingredients can be efficient enough to get the job done and gentle enough to use on every surface of your home. All Safely™ products are free of stabilizers, sulfates, parabens, phthalates, dyes, and animal byproducts.
