Cleaning & household products

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 it matters

Why cleaning & household products get halal certified

Enzymes and surfactants can be animal-derived without appearing on the label.

Households that buy halal food increasingly apply the same standard to cleaning.

Certification differentiates a commodity product on shelf.

FAQ

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.
