The Business of Clean: Branding, Scaling & Being Seen with Monika and Robyn of Mint Cleaning

On this episode of The Road to Seven, I sit down with Robyn and Monika, the powerhouse duo behind Mint Cleaning Products. What started as a local cleaning business between two moms quickly grew into a thriving eco-friendly product line now recognized across Canada—including a coveted feature in the Jilly Box and a pitch on Dragon’s Den. In this honest and inspiring conversation, Robyn and Monika share the story of their partnership, how they scaled their operations, the power of saying “yes” before you’re ready, and why trusting your gut is vital in business. From community-building on social media to lessons learned from investors, this episode is packed with entrepreneurial wisdom and heart.
