My guest today, Max Kater, started her business because her son was having allergic reactions to their bathroom cleaning products and she knew that she had to do something.
With that, Max co-founded Murchison-Hume. Their Mission: We want to make products that are safe for people and planet, truly effective, beautiful to look at and a pleasure to use.
It took Max four years to “crack the code” on safe home cleaners but she finally figured out a formula that actually works.
On today’s show, Max talks about how she got started, staying aligned with their brand’s values, her biggest challenges and how she got through them, and much more.

When sending your products to editors – just send the product so they can try it with a tiny blurb about why it is great.” – Max Kater
