About Us

Freudenberg Household Products

It's no surprise that the last word in housework is "work." It's the last thing you want to do.

Our Sustainability>>

That's why we design products for one purpose only: to help you get the job done quickly, easily, and thoroughly so you have plenty of time and energy left to do things you would much rather be doing.

We're also committed to making your world greener by creating products that minimize the impact on the environment. From the use of recycled plastic bottles to sustainable bamboo and natural corn bristles, our Eco-Friendly products make a difference in how we all consume our natural resources.

Freudenberg Household Products, a 150-year-old worldwide company, may not be a "household name" in this country, but our brands are. Chances are you already have one or more of our brands in your kitchen, bathroom, or utility closet right now.

O-Cedar®

O-Cedar's marketing signature is its slogan, "O-Cedar Makes Your Life Easier!®".  During our one hundred year history, we have become the experts in making clean-ups easier and quicker for you. O-Cedar was the first company to produce an oil-treated dust mop, to market the squeeze-action sponge mop, and to introduce a lightweight, washable plastic angle broom.  Since 1906, we have been offering consumers competitively priced, hard-working products with value-added features for real cleaning power that lasts.  O-Cedar is a brand with quality that you can trust and this is why we are the most preferred brand of mops and brooms in the nation!

O-Cedar name trivia…do you know how the O-Cedar name originated?
The Channell Chemical Company started as a manufacturer of waxes and wood polishes, which were sold door to door in the early 1900's.  One of the main ingredients in the polish was cedar leaf oil, so the founder of the company named the product
"O-Cedar Polish".  As the company expanded, so did the brand awareness for O-Cedar so the company decided to change its name to O-Cedar!

O-Cedar History >>

Vileda from the O-Cedar Family

Vileda®, introduced in North America in 1998, is the #1 mechanical cleaning household brand in Europe and one of the best known and best selling throughout the rest of the world.  Vileda recently joined the O-Cedar Family in 2005 and is now sold under the "Vileda® From the O-Cedar® Family" name.

Vileda name trivia…do you know how the Vileda name originated?
Years ago, people used leather to clean their windows. As the cost of leather continued to increase, an alternative was sought. The scientists at Freudenberg Household Products in Germany developed a material that looked and felt just like leather. For lack of a better name, they called it "like leather", which is "wie Leder" in German. And "wie Leder" is pronounced  vi-leda, thus the brand name Vileda was born.

Roll-O-Matic®

Roll-O-Matic® is the brand of "America's Favorite" sponge roller mop.  It has been recognized for its superior quality, durability, and performance.  Recently, it has been added to the O-Cedar product line, but it continues to maintain a reputation of superiority amongst sponge roller mops.

Scrunge®

Scrunge® is the brand for the only scrubber sponge that is certified and recommended by DuPont® for use on cookware with Teflon® non-stick coating.  Scrunge scrubber sponges are available in a range of varieties to satisfy the needs of millions of consumers that use them everyday.

Our goal is to create innovative cleaning products that offer time-saving convenience and value without sacrificing the performance and durability you need to get the job done right.  We hope you will try us and see how we have earned the loyalty of quality-minded families throughout the world. Nothing would please us more than to be #1 with you.
