Edco – A Proud Australian Legacy

Edco Cleaning Products are Australia’s largest family owned wholesaler of cleaning and janitorial products. Edco products are designed to offer the best in quality and value and have been proudly cleaning Australia since 1941.

Initially, the business supported the Australian armed forces during World War II, producing essential supplies like bandages, blankets, and parachute harnesses. As demand grew, so did the product range—expanding to include cotton-based cleaning essentials such as dish cloths, Dorset cloths, and mops.

During the 1970s through to the 1990s, Edmondson products earned national recognition. The NSW Department of Health selected their blankets for statewide supply, while iconic Australian brand R.M. Williams chose the Edmondson Brothers to manufacture the fabric for its legendary Moleskin trousers.

Edco’s strong focus on cleaning products emerged in the 1950s, when the Edmondsons became the Australian agents for Spontex—the inventors of the cellulose sponge. Since then, Edco has built a reputation as a trusted cleaning solutions provider, supplying over 90% of Australia’s private label cleaning products to major supermarket retailers.

In the last five years, Edco has further strengthened its presence in the commercial cleaning sector, led by its high-performance Edco Merriwipe Range. This success has earned international recognition, including an appointment as the Asia/Pacific Master Distributor for Sorbo Window Cleaning Products in 2008.

Today, Edco continues to be celebrated across the industry for offering exceptional value and quality. Despite decades of growth and innovation, one thing remains unchanged: Edco is still 100% Australian family-owned and operated—committed to delivering outstanding products and service.
