History[edit | edit source]

The Bon Ami Company was founded in 1886, with its origins tied to a mining discovery in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, where a unique feldspar mineral was found to have natural cleaning properties. This discovery led to the development of the original Bon Ami Cleaning Powder, which was less abrasive than other cleaners on the market at the time, making it suitable for cleaning without scratching surfaces.

Over the years, Bon Ami has expanded its product range to include liquid cleaners, dish soap, and other cleaning products, all adhering to the company's ethos of using simple, natural ingredients. The brand has maintained a commitment to environmental sustainability, with products that are biodegradable, free from phosphates, and packaged using recycled materials.
