Mrs. Meyer's Cleaning Products at Western Building Center

Mrs. Meyer’s brings essential oil-based cleaning to Montana homes with plant-derived formulas that actually work. The cleaners are versatile, effectively tackling various surfaces such as countertops, stainless steel, bathroom tiles, sealed hardwood floors, and walls, while being gentle enough for delicate surfaces. You’re paying for the premium ingredients and the fact that these cleaners smell like an actual garden, not a chemical factory.

Product Line Overview

The Mrs. Meyer’s lineup at WBC focuses on three core products that Montana homeowners reach for most:

Multi-Surface Cleaners (16 oz) - Available in Lavender, Lemon Verbena, and Basil scents. The Multi-Surface Everyday Cleaner is highly effective at cleaning, utilizing mild ingredients like Decyl Glucoside and natural oils (lemon, fir leaf, lemongrass). These handle everything from kitchen counters to bathroom surfaces without leaving chemical residue.

Liquid Hand Soaps (12.5 oz) - These plant-based soaps clean without drying out hands during Montana’s long winters. The essential oil formulations mean your hands smell like lavender or lemon verbena instead of industrial degreaser.

Room Freshener Sprays (8 oz) - These non-aerosol sprays deliver up to 60 days of long-lasting fragrance. No propellants, no artificial colors - just essential oils in a manual trigger spray that freshens rooms without that fake “clean” smell.

The packaging deserves mention too. Bottles (less trigger) made with at least 30% post-consumer plastic, which matters more than marketing departments think it does.

Essential Oil Formulations and Performance

Here’s what sets Mrs. Meyer’s apart from the conventional cleaners gathering dust on store shelves:

ComponentMrs. Meyer’s Approach
Active IngredientsPlant-derived surfactants (Decyl Glucoside)
Fragrance SourceEssential oils and natural fragrances
Excluded SubstancesPhthalates, parabens, artificial colors, propellants
Packaging30%+ post-consumer plastic
Application MethodNon-aerosol manual spray

However, it contains potentially concerning preservatives (methylisothiazolinone and benzisothiazolinone), which may pose risks for sensitive skin or fragrance sensitivities. Not perfect - no cleaner is. But for most households, the trade-off between effective cleaning and reduced chemical exposure makes sense.

The light, natural scent that lasts for hours without smelling like perfume solves a real problem. Most “natural” cleaners either smell like vinegar or nothing at all. Mrs. Meyer’s figured out how to make cleaning products that leave your house smelling like you’ve been gardening, not disinfecting a hospital.

Real-World Performance

With 4.5/5 star average rating from 2,453 reviews, these cleaners deliver on their promises. While they excel at organic stains and everyday grime, they may be less effective on heavily soiled or stubborn stains. Fair enough - if you’re cleaning up after muddy boots or construction debris, grab something stronger.

The multi-surface cleaners work on:

  • Finished wood floors (sealed hardwood common in Montana homes)
  • Tile and porcelain
  • Stainless steel appliances
  • Bathroom surfaces
  • Kitchen countertops

While both are eco-friendly and highly rated, Mrs. Meyer’s is noted for its pleasant, long-lasting scents and effective cleaning on various surfaces, including floors, but may leave streaks if not wiped thoroughly. The streak issue is real - wipe completely dry or switch to microfiber cloths.

Compared to competing product lines like Puracy, Mrs. Meyer’s offers a broader selection of scents but has fewer options for scent-free products. While Mrs. Meyer’s focuses primarily on household cleaners with a natural approach, Puracy differentiates itself with a wider range of product categories, including personal care, baby care, and pet stain solutions. Know what you’re buying - Mrs. Meyer’s stays in their lane with household cleaning.

The premium positioning reflects the essential oil content and plant-derived ingredients. You’re not buying industrial degreaser here. You’re buying cleaners that won’t gas you out of your own kitchen while still cutting through everyday dirt and grime. For Montana households dealing with tracked-in mud, kitchen messes, and bathroom cleaning, these products handle the job without the chemical aftermath.
