Our Story
How It Happened at Stingray
Founded in the 1970s, our company began as a small family operation with one mission: create safer, more effective cleaning solutions without compromise. In those early days, it wasn’t uncommon to find our founders hunched over a workbench late into the night, testing batches by hand and refusing to settle for anything that didn’t meet their uncompromising standards. What started in a modest workshop—no bigger than a single-car garage—quickly grew into a trusted household name. As each new generation stepped in, they carried forward that exact same commitment to quality and integrity, treating the company not just as a business, but as a legacy worth protecting.
Over the years, word spread about our formulas—simple, honest ingredients blended with a level of care you could feel in every bottle. Customers began to notice the difference, telling friends and neighbors about a line of products that didn’t rely on harsh chemicals or empty promises. That organic trust became the heartbeat of our brand. Even as demand grew, we resisted shortcuts, choosing instead to honor the craftsmanship that defined our roots. Every new product, every new scent, every new solution was approached with the same question our founders asked themselves decades ago: “Is this something we’d proudly use in our own home?”
That dedication eventually caught national attention. When we were featured on Oprah’s Favorite Things, it felt like the world finally got a glimpse of what our loyal customers had known all along. It was a milestone that brought pride to our entire family—past and present—and a moment of validation for the years spent perfecting formulas in quiet, determined pursuit. But while the spotlight was bright, it never changed who we were at our core.
Today, we remain proudly family-owned, still crafting each product with the same care, pride, and attention to detail that built this business from the ground up. Our workshop has grown, but our values haven’t shifted an inch. You can still trace every formula back to the same principles that shaped us in the beginning: transparency, responsibility, and a belief that safer cleaning shouldn’t be a luxury.
From our family to yours, we’re here to help you clean smarter, safer, and with confidence. Whether you’re tackling everyday messes or creating a healthier home for those you love, our products are made to support you—reliably, gently, and with generations of passion in every drop.
