We're here to change the game

Proving that doing good is good for business

Welcome to Pleasant State - your next step in the right direction. We’re working towards a sparkling clean world that’s free of single-use plastics and we’re so happy to have you join on the ride (spoiler alert... we’re going to win!). Here’s at Pleasant State we’re all about cutting the big business B.S. We're so proud that we achieved B Corp Certification in February 2022 - this was a goal of ours from the get go!

We’re a female-owned Australian start-up that’s looking to change the game by focusing on a bigger purpose, not just profit. We have ambitions to make waves not ripples when it comes to social and environment impacts, and this is just the first step. For every Pleasant State product sold, we’ll be donating 1% of profits to our aligned charity, Take 3 for the Sea. By cleaning your house with Pleasant State, you’re helping clean up our oceans and planet.

Drop into the revolution and pledge your support by ordering your Pleasant State pack today.

The Unpleasant Truth

One garbage truck of plastic waste enters our oceans every minute, that’s eight million tonnes each year

Those are scary numbers when you consider we’re looking at an ocean that has more plastic than fish by 2050. Our revolutionary concentrated bars mean you can fill the same bottle over and over again - now that’s a win. Make the switch to our single-use plastic free cleaning products, and have a pleasant journey.

The Pleasant Journey

If not us, then who?

Never mind a global pandemic, 2020 was the year we set out to revolutionise the way we clean our homes, and what a wild ride it's been. It all started with a crowdfunding campaign. Now, we're delivering planet changing products to thousands of forward-thinking Australian homes!

Our Why

The Pleasant State purpose

Honestly? Because it seemed like a no brainer. To do this right, we've had to start out small, but we have big plans to be the best. We all know that in this current climate, keeping your home and family healthy is more important than ever, but this doesn't mean we need to stock up on plastic baddies that are filled with toxic chemicals. That's not doing anyone any favours! Why go backwards when we can go forwards?

Our founders Ami and Sian banded together to create a sustainable solution when we needed it most. They've been blown away by the support of the community, suppliers and basically everyone they meet!

Pleasant State is changing the way we clean our homes. Cleaning products are no longer a necessary evil that's hidden under the kitchen sink. Instead they're beautiful, waste-free and non-toxic products that you can proudly display in your home.

A Pleasant Letter

We’re so glad you’re here!

We’re Ami and Sian, the founders of Pleasant State. We’re on a mission to change how people clean their homes...for good! Our aim is to prove that doing good is good for business by balancing people, planet, and profits. 

In 2019, Ami was dealing with chronic headaches. After consulting with healthcare professionals, she began working to remove plastics and nasty chemicals from her home. However, when it came to cleaning products, she couldn’t find any healthy, zero-waste, and effective solutions in Australia. We quickly realized that traditional cleaning products and their plastic packaging are major contributors to indoor air pollution and are making Australians sick. So, we did something about it!

We created Pleasant State, Australia’s first concentrated cleaning bars that dissolve in tap water to make healthy, plant-based, and zero-waste cleaning solutions that actually work! Our ridiculously good-looking just-add-water products make it easy for you to do the right thing for people and the planet without compromising on effectiveness or convenience.

Despite bootstrapping and pre-order crowdfunding Pleasant State to date, we’ve achieved incredible results and made a heck of an impact! In the two years since we began shipping our revolutionary products, we went from Ami’s garage to our Sunny Coast warehouse, and now our products can be found in over 20,000 homes. We’ve stopped 150,000 plastic bottles from entering landfills, generated 75,000 liters of toxic-free cleaning solutions, and raised over $45,000 for charities, including Take 3 for the Sea. We are also proud to be Australia’s first certified B Corp and a 1% for the Planet member.

We both relocated to the Sunshine Coast to be closer to the ocean and nature. Ami as a surf lifesaver and Sian as a surfer, we have a deep love for the planet and are driven to do everything we can to protect it. We’re design-led individuals who believe that the way to make a lasting change is with strong ethics, powerful branding, and well-designed products.

Gone are the days of hiding ugly, plastic, and toxic cleaning products under your sink. Our focus on aesthetics, premium effective ingredients, and bringing joy to cleaning means we are more than a cleaning brand. We are becoming a self-care brand that’s leading the way in the just-add-water space. 

So what are you waiting for? Make the switch to our revolutionary products today and help us make waves, not ripples when it comes to social and environmental impacts.

Our Promises

We're balancing people, planet and profits 

Promise 1

No Nasties

We've used plant-based surfactants, which means our cleaning products are non-toxic, vegan, grey water safe and much more. Most importantly, they work...Very well!

Promise 2

Zero SUPs & Waste 

That's right...Zero! We're saying no to single-use plastics (SUPs) and using cardboard mailer boxes, plastic free stickers and fancy home compostable laminate wrappers for our bars. It's the way it should be really!

Promise 3

Australian Made

We're a female founded start-up that's committed to supporting local communities, jobs and economies. Which is why we make our bars right here in Queensland. 

Promise 4

B-Corp Certification

In February 2022, we became B Corp Certified. B-Corps make decisions that have a positive impact across their workers, customers, suppliers, community and the environment.  

Promise 5

1% For The Planet

We’re donating 1% of sales towards the protection of our environment. The 1% for the Planet movement represents a global network of businesses, individuals and nonprofit organizations tackling our planet's most pressing environmental issues.

Promise 6

Reduces Transport Emissions

Everyday cleaning products are made up of 95-98% water! All that money and all those transport emissions to essentially just move around water!?
