HCPA members are the household and commercial product companies who make and sell $180 billion annually of the products that clean, protect, maintain and disinfect our homes and workplaces.
Our Story
Household and commercial products help every step of our lives – at home, at work, wherever we are. From memorable moments – like bringing home a first child – to messy moments – like cleaning up at work, these are the products that make our lives healthier, cleaner and more productive. That make our lives better.

Our members employ 200,000 people in the U.S. and we are proud to share this industry’s significant contributions to the economy, environment, and society.
All to benefit consumers and workers. Every step of the way.
