Pop Wash: Protecting Health & Planet With Biodegradable & Eco Friendly Solutions

Srikanth Siram

Although household cleaning products are essential for maintaining hygiene, many of them contain chemicals that can cause skin irritation, respiratory problems, and long-term health hazards. Research shows that using conventional cleaners can expose people to volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can raise their risk of developing asthma by up to 34 percent. Further, according to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), lung-harming ingredients are present in almost 53 percent of household cleaners. The market for eco-friendly, non-toxic substitutes is anticipated to reach $11.6 billion by 2029 as customers gravitate toward safe, biodegradable, and plant-based products.

Realizing these risks, Pop Wash was founded to offer cleaning products devoid of harmful chemicals for homes and businesses. The brand's journey began with a deep dive into traditional cleaning methods which led to an unexpected yet effective solution, rice husk ash.

“Our philosophy, ‘From the Earth, for the Earth’, comes from a simple belief that we should clean our homes without harming our health or the planet. That’s why we use natural ingredients like coco glucoside from coconut for gentle foaming and pure lemongrass extract for its antibacterial power and fresh scent, making our products safe, effective, and completely chemical-free", asserts Srikanth Siram, Founder, Pop Wash.

Pop Wash offers a diverse range of eco-friendly cleaning products including essentials such as dish wash powder and liquid, a three-in-one fabric wash, which eliminates the need for a separate conditioner, and floor and toilet cleaners. The brand also offers a powerful yet food-grade de-greaser, safe for kitchen use, alongside hand wash, air fresheners, sanitizers, disinfectants, stainless steel polish, carpet cleaner, and a specialized silver shine powder for cleaning silver and brass items.

Among its standout offerings, Pop Wash’s toilet cleaner is a game-changer. Unlike conventional cleaners that contain hydrochloric acid, this formula is 100 percent acid-free, safe on the skin, and free from harsh fumes. The food-grade de-greaser efficiently removes grease and stubborn stains without toxic residues, making it ideal for kitchen surfaces. The three-in-one fabric wash contains detergent, conditioner, and softener in a single, cost-effective product and is a bestseller.

Quality & Sustainability

Pop Wash upholds the highest standards in quality control and environmental responsibility, through ISO 2015 certified manufacturing unit and certifications from UK-CERT, a globally recognized organization that meticulously verifies ingredient sources, supplier credibility, and adherence to sustainability practices.

Every production batch undergoes rigorous testing to maintain consistency.

Samples are extracted from each 200-liter batch to ensure that composition and performance meet strict standards. If any batch falls short on any parameter, it is immediately set aside and not released to customers. The brand also ensures that its manufacturing process generates zero harmful waste for a cleaner planet.

Expanding Market Reach

Pop Wash strategically targets both households and businesses for widespread adoption of its chemical-free cleaning solutions. On the B2B front, the brand has achieved a significant milestone by securing Facebook’s India offices as a client. In addition, Pop Wash is in advanced negotiations with multiple IT multinational corporations, with first orders either placed or awaiting confirmation.

For household consumers, Pop Wash leverages Amazon, its official website, and a unique direct marketing initiative, the SHE Partner Program. Designed to empower women entrepreneurs, this program allows women to join as Super Home Entrepreneurs (SHE) without any registration fees. Partners receive a 20 percent discount on purchases and earn a 25 percent commission on referrals. The program has gained tremendous traction, with over 500 SHE Partners facilitating 2,500–2,700 monthly transactions.

“Our products are designed for all types of surfaces, but we believe in using the right cleaner for the right job. That’s why we guide our customers based on their specific needs, whether it’s our furniture cleaner for wooden surfaces, multi-surface cleaner for most materials, or hard surface cleaner for concrete, so they get the best results without any guesswork”, informs Srikanth.

The Robust Way Ahead

Pop Wash is striving to make its products more sustainable and accessible for both households and businesses. With the global shift towards health-conscious, environmentally responsible solutions, the brand is actively working on reducing plastic waste and revolutionizing product formats.

On the B2B front, Pop Wash is innovating with automated dispensing machines that use cleaning product concentrates to eliminate the need for bulk storage while ensuring precise, on-demand dispensing. This technology is particularly beneficial for large corporate offices, hospitals, and commercial establishments, optimizing both efficiency and sustainability.

For household consumers, Pop Wash is developing vending machines for cleaning products that will allow users to refill their containers instead of purchasing new plastic bottles, hence reducing single-use plastic consumption. The company is set to launch its first five vending machines in Hyderabad, with two locations specifically chosen based on resident inquiries inspired by international models.

“Our upcoming vending machine trials in Hyderabad are a big step toward making our products more sustainable and accessible, and if successful, we plan to expand them to more regions. At the same time, we are developing compressed product formats such as powders and tablets, which will cut down on packaging, lower transportation costs, and reduce our carbon footprint for a truly eco-friendly future”, concludes Srikanth.
