What Customers Say After the Switch
From greenwash-burned shoppers to allergy households — here's what changed when they dropped a strip in the bucket.
“I'd already tried Method, Mrs. Meyer's, and a couple of refill-pod brands. This is the first one where the floor actually felt clean and the kitchen didn't smell like an air freshener for the rest of the day.”
“My son's asthma reacts to most cleaners. I bought one pack to try. No flare-up the whole week we mopped with it. Switching the rest of the cabinet over now.”
“Our baby crawls everywhere. I needed something I could use without thinking about what residue she'd be putting in her mouth. Plant ingredients I can pronounce, no fragrance fog — finally.”
“The bottle pile under my sink was getting embarrassing. One pouch in the drawer replaces six or seven bottles. Took 30 seconds to dissolve, the floor came out spotless. Bought again the same week.”
“Two dogs, one cat, hardwood throughout. I was worried about the finish — some “eco” cleaners I've tried left a film. This left nothing. Floor looked like the day it was refinished.”
“Bought it for the cottage so I wouldn't have to lug a 1L bottle up. The pouch fits in a kitchen drawer. Same clean, no shipping water across the country.”
“I'm on septic and was nervous. One bucket test, no issues, then I switched the routine. Three months in, septic is fine, floors are cleaner than they were on the previous brand.”
The Truth About Floor Cleaner
You're Mostly Buying Water in a Plastic Bottle.
A 1 L bottle of liquid floor cleaner is roughly 90% water. The other 10% is what's actually doing the cleaning — and what's often doing damage.
Conventional floor cleaners load that 10% with petroleum-derived surfactants, phosphates, synthetic fragrance, and VOCs — compounds linked to indoor air quality issues, respiratory irritation, and downstream water harm.
Then the bottle ships from a factory to a warehouse to your door. You're paying to ship a bottle of water across the country — with the active dose along for the ride.
When the bottle's empty, it joins the ~14 billion plastic cleaning bottles thrown out in North America each year. Your floor isn't the problem. The format is.
Removing the water solves three problems at once: the plastic bottle disappears, the shipping weight drops by ~95%, and you choose how concentrated each bucket is — instead of trusting a manufacturer's pre-mix.
“I switched because of the bottles. I stayed because the floor actually got cleaner without the chemical smell hanging in the house for hours.”— Sampson Customer

We Spent 30+ Years Cleaning Up Contamination. Then We Checked Under the Sink. Nous avons passé 30+ ans à décontaminer des sites. Puis nous avons regardé sous l'évier.
Diana Trasente and Angelo Diadelfo are environmental engineers with Master's degrees and over 30 years remediating contaminated soil and water across Canada. They know industrial chemicals intimately — PCBs, heavy metals, synthetic surfactants, petroleum solvents. Diana Trasente et Angelo Diadelfo sont des ingénieurs en environnement avec des maîtrises et plus de 30 ans d'expérience en décontamination de sols et d'eau au Canada.
Then they started reading the labels on their own household cleaners. The same classes of synthetic chemicals they spent their careers cleaning up were sitting in their kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. Puis ils ont commencé à lire les étiquettes des nettoyants ménagers chez eux. Les mêmes classes de produits chimiques qu'ils passaient leur carrière à nettoyer se trouvaient dans leur cuisine, salle de bain et buanderie.
In 2010, they founded Sampson Eco Shop — applying the same scientific rigor to household cleaners that they applied to environmental remediation. Every product starts with one question: What's actually in here, and is it safe to put down a drain? En 2010, ils ont fondé Sampson Eco Shop — appliquant la même rigueur scientifique aux nettoyants ménagers qu'à la décontamination. Chaque produit commence par une question: Qu'est-ce qu'il y a vraiment dedans, et est-ce sécuritaire de l'envoyer dans un drain?
“Every cleaner we make starts with the same question we'd ask on a contamination site: what's actually in here, and what happens when it goes down the drain?” “Chaque nettoyant qu'on fabrique commence par la même question qu'on poserait sur un site contaminé: qu'est-ce qu'il y a vraiment dedans, et qu'est-ce qui se passe quand ça va dans le drain?”— Diana Trasente, M.Eng. — Diana Trasente, M.Ing.
The Method
A Floor Cleaner With the Water Removed.
Liquid floor cleaner is mostly water. We dehydrated it. What ships in a 60-strip pack does the same job as roughly seven 1L plastic bottles of conventional cleaner.
Drop a Strip
Drop ½ strip into ~5 L of warm water for routine mopping. Drop a full strip for deep cleans.
It Dissolves
Plant-derived surfactants release into the water in seconds. No measuring. No dilution math. No mess.
Mop & Walk Away
Works on ceramic, natural stone, and sealed wood. No rinse required. Streak-free, no residue.
Removing the water removes ~95% of the plastic. A 60-strip pack ships in a paper-fibre pouch. The same volume of liquid cleaner ships in seven plastic bottles, packed in cardboard, on a heavier truck. The format is the savings.
Same plant-based chemistry as our liquid Eco Floor Cleaner. We just left the water at home.

Format Matters
How Eco-Strips Compare to What's On The Shelf
Floor cleaning has more delivery formats than people realize. Here's how each one ships, cleans, and disposes.
| Sampson Eco-Strips | Liquid Floor Cleaner (Plastic Bottle) | Industrial Concentrate | Disposable Mop Pad | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Format | Dissolvable strip | Pre-mixed liquid | Concentrated liquid | Soaked disposable |
| Plastic Per Use | None | Bottle + cap | Heavy bottle | Pad + wrapper |
| Shipping Weight | ~95% lighter | Heavy (90% water) | Heavy | Medium |
| Plant-Based Surfactants | Varies | |||
| VOCs | Zero | Common | Common | Common |
| Synthetic Fragrance | ||||
| Phosphates | Sometimes | Often | Sometimes | |
| Septic-Safe (Standard Use) | Varies | Varies | ||
| Made in Canada | Mostly imported | Mostly imported | Mostly imported | |
| Engineer-Formulated | M.Eng. + 30yr Env. | Corporation | Industrial chemist | Corporation |
The format is the difference. Same plant chemistry, same engineering rigor — without the bottle, the water weight, or the synthetic add-ons.
