Our Story

Back to the Origins

Project Clean’s historical legacy takes root in the Savolite Soap Company founded in 1948 in Vancouver, Canada. The name Savolite draws its origin from the French word for soap, “savon”, and from the suffix “lite” or “light” which was borrowed from the popular Lever Brothers’ Sunlight Soap. At the time, the company specialized in industrial laundry detergent and competed in a market that was dominated by large companies such as Procter & Gamble, Lever Brothers and Colgate-Palmolive. By the early 1970’s, Savolite Soap became a leading brand in Western Canada.

Keys to Success

By segregating the whitest tallow and doubling their soap drying cycle, Savolite produced the purest laundry soap on the market. This created a longer-lasting quality product which the company supported through quality customer service and training in proper dispensing and cleaning techniques. This comprehensive approach to manufacturing and distributing laid the foundation for the company that Project Clean is today.

Today & Moving Forward

From its roots in the Savolite Soap Company, Project Clean has come a long way from making laundry soap to now manufacturing cleaning solutions for a large variety of industry sectors. To this day, the company stays true to its principles of manufacturing for quality while developing the safest solutions possible for its makers, users and the environment.
