Professional roots. A wellbeing led future.
Gleaming Gloss began with a simple belief: the products we use to clean our homes should be effective, thoughtfully made and a pleasure to use.
The brand was founded by Kath, a professional cleaner and co-owner of a successful corporate cleaning company. Its distinctive formula was inspired by the decade she spent working aboard luxury superyachts, where every surface was expected to look immaculate and only the highest standards would do.
Kath understood exactly what a great cleaning product needed to deliver: dependable performance, a beautiful streak-free finish and a sense of luxury in every detail. But the natural cleaning products available to her team never quite met those standards, so she decided to create her own.
After perfecting the formula and using it within her professional cleaning business, Kath bottled Gleaming Gloss for customers to use in their own homes. The Multi-Surface Cleaner was later tested by the in-house Low Carbon team at Liverpool John Moores University, reinforcing the professional expertise behind the product.
A new chapter with Samantha.
When Kath was ready to step away from the business, Samantha did not want to see the product, or the years of work behind it, disappear.
Samantha already knew and loved Gleaming Gloss. She believed in its performance, its refillable model and its potential to help people make more considered choices at home. She purchased the brand to protect Kath’s original formula and professional legacy while giving Gleaming Gloss fresh energy and a clear vision for the future.
Samantha’s own story brings together business, movement and wellbeing. After a career spanning finance, insurance and technology, followed by the sale of her London technology company, she moved more deeply into the wellness world.
Yoga had played an important role in Samantha’s recovery following a serious horse-riding accident. What began as rehabilitation developed into a lasting passion, leading her to complete extensive teacher training and become an experienced E-RYT500 yoga teacher.
Today, Samantha runs Woll Estate Retreats from Woll House in the Scottish Borders. Her retreats bring together movement, breathwork, nourishing food, learning, time in nature and genuine rest. Everything is shaped by a simple belief: lasting wellbeing is created through the everyday choices, habits and environments we return to again and again.
That philosophy is also at the heart of Gleaming Gloss.
Our homes are where we cook, breathe, rest, play and care for the people and animals we love. The products we use there should perform beautifully without introducing ingredients we would rather avoid.
Under Samantha’s ownership, Gleaming Gloss remains true to the standards on which Kath founded it. The trusted formula has not changed. It continues to be made with plant-derived ingredients, without endocrine-disrupting ingredients, and is refillable, vegan and cruelty-free.
The result is professional-level cleaning with a luxurious streak-free finish and signature citrus scent, created for people who want a beautifully clean home without compromising their health, their values or the environment.
This is the next chapter of Gleaming Gloss: founded through professional cleaning expertise and carried forward through a wider vision of wellbeing.
New owner. Same trusted formula. A renewed purpose.
Because self-care does not begin and end with what we put on our skin. It begins with the space around us.
