Our Story

Starting out all the way back near the turn of the century in 1918. McLintocks was originally established as the brand that would supply consumers across Australia with essences. The most popular being Vanilla Essence.

Fast Forward to 1965 and McLintocks continued their tradition of supplying Australians with high quality supermarket products in the form of Jelly Crystals. 

With the company moving away from food related products, in 1988 the main focus was turned to a specifically developed product to aid in cleaning, deodorising and sanitising refrigerators and household surfaces. Vanilla Fresh was born..

By rejuvenating the McLintocks brand, we have given new life to our Australian heritage, while embracing the legacy that expresses our commitment and our mission -

'To develop and provide consumers with the highest standard of products'.

Recognising the need for quality, domestic cleaning and sanitising products, without any residual chemicals, the first cleaning product, Vanilla Fresh Fridge and Kitchen Wipe, is launched. A food safe cleaning and antibacterial spray. A unique cleaning product alternative to traditional chemical based multi-purpose cleaning sprays. Over 30 years later, it is still Australian made and remains a staple in Australian kitchens.
