The ARM & HAMMER® Essentials™ Story
Harnessing the Power of Nature™

The ARM & HAMMER® Essentials™ line of products continues our tradition of caring for the environment.  For over 160 years, the ARM & HAMMER® brand has provided simple solutions for your home and family, while recognizing the importance of protecting our environment. The makers of ARM & HAMMER® began using recycled paperboard for packaging in 1907, launched the nation's first non-polluting, phosphate-free laundry detergent in 1970, and were the sole sponsor of the first Earth Day. ARM & HAMMER® Essentials™ takes the brand's commitment to reducing the environmental effects of its products to the next level.

Did you know that Americans throw away 60 billion pounds of plastic each year? Each ARM & HAMMER® Essentials™ Cleaners refill pack you buy means 2 less plastic spray bottles in landfills. And the refill pack uses 80% less packaging than 2 pre-filled spray cleaners. The ARM & HAMMER® Essentials™ Cleaners formula is biodegradable and uses powerful plant-based cleaners* — and contains no harsh ammonia or phosphates.
