When you have a clean home, you feel proud. When you defeat a stubborn stain, you feel victorious. We develop products that help homeowners achieve those rewarding feelings, and believe that ingredient transparency is one of the keys to that confidence.

Here’s the thing: a multi-purpose product isn’t going to cut it when it comes to removing your stains. That’s where our products shine. They’re different. Each is formulated to remove specific stains (as well as the worry-filled “NOOOO!” moment that comes with them).

In 1994, Delta Pronatura (the leading manufacturer of stain removal and household cleaning products throughout Europe!) acquired the Carbona brand. Today, as part of a family-owned company, we remain committed to developing trusted, high-quality products!

Fun fact: In 1926, our Carbona products were already being sold in nearly every country!

In 1908, Carbona Cleaning Fluid (the first Carbona product made) was sold from a horse-drawn cart in NYC. Within the first year, we made a booming $35,000!

Carbona Cleaning Fluid was endorsed by “Underwriters Laboratories” for being “non-combustible” and “nonflammable.” (This was a big perk back in the day—find out why below!)

People used to treat stains with gasoline (can you say dangerous?). Household fires were too common, and we set our minds to creating a safer alternative. From there, the first (and, for a while, the only) 100% nonflammable stain remover, Carbona Cleaning Fluid, was born!
