Halal certification for cleaning and household products
Household product tenders in halal markets ask for the same documentation as food. Enzymes, surfactants, solvents and fragrance carriers all carry animal or alcohol risk. GHC reviews the whole formulation and certifies your range in one submission.
Why cleaning & household products get halal certified
Enzymes and surfactants can be animal-derived without appearing on the label.
Private-label buyers include halal documentation in tender requirements.
Households that buy halal food increasingly apply the same standard to cleaning.
Certification differentiates a commodity product on shelf.

Common questions
Why do cleaning products need halal certification?
Because ingredients such as enzymes, glycerine and stearates can be animal-derived, and buyers in halal markets ask for written confirmation.
Can one certificate cover a whole range?
Yes. Submit the range in one application and each SKU is assessed together.
