Custom Cleaning Product

Better Life Products

Overview

Better Life is a leading provider of all-natural cleaning products. My role at the company began shortly after they had aired on Shark Tank and the company exploded in growth.

During my time at the company, one of my initiatives was spearheading the development of a custom concentrated cleaning solution tailored specifically for a prominent dog boarding and daycare center. This project required close collaboration with chemists, extensive testing, and iterative refinement to achieve the desired efficacy and safety standards. The new product aimed to deliver an effective and safe cleaning solution, ensuring a hygienic environment for canine guests while aligning with the client's commitment to sustainability and pet wellness. Upon successful testing and validation, the product was slated for nationwide distribution.

Key Responsibilities

  • Tailored Formulation: Worked closely with the company's chemists to create a unique formula that effectively tackled common cleaning challenges in dog-centric environments while remaining safe for canine inhabitants.
  • Concentration Optimization: Engineered a concentrated solution to maximize cleaning power while minimizing environmental impact and resource usage.
  • Safety Assurance: Ensured the product met stringent safety standards, providing peace of mind to both the facility staff and the furry residents.
  • Collaborative Partnership: Collaborated closely with the client to understand their specific needs and challenges, fostering a collaborative environment conducive to successful product development.
  • Nationwide Scalability: Designed the product with scalability in mind, enabling its eventual distribution nationwide upon successful testing completion.

Key Achievements

  • Successfully formulated a custom cleaning product tailored for the unique needs of a dog boarding and daycare center, addressing both effectiveness and safety concerns.
  • Conducted rigorous testing and refinement cycles, resulting in a highly effective and environmentally conscious solution ready for nationwide distribution.
