ABOUT US

We are family. We founded Mother of Invention as a mother and daughter, Monique van de Merwe and Jeanine Laver. We are also parents, and we want to leave the world a better place for our children than the way we found it, and we know you do too. We started Mother of Invention with the goal of offering natural and effective cleaning products that are less harmful to our planet than traditional cleaning products, made specifically to be baby, pet and family safe. It’s our way of doing better. We want to be part of your everyday cleaning routine, but more importantly we want to be part of your part of your every day, “doing better” routine. 

Jeanine and her partner Glen are parents of two little ones, and have over 40 years of combined experience in sales, marketing, and new product development specifically in the baby products industry.

Monique and her partner Bob are parents of 7 grown children, and Monique and Bob have over 60 years combined experience in chemistry, manufacturing, product development, logistics, and sales in the commercial cleaning products industry.

Together we are Mother of Invention, and this is our way of doing better. We hope you enjoy using Mother of Invention products, and doing better. It’s a necessity.
