Founded in 1936, Waxo has built a legacy of quality, innovation, and reliability in the South African cleaning and steel wool industry. What began as a small operation has grown into a trusted manufacturer supplying products used across households, commercial environments, and industrial sectors.
At our core, we are committed to producing cleaning solutions that are effective, safe, and environmentally responsible. Our products are developed using non-toxic, eco-conscious materials and are designed to meet the highest hygiene standards. Many of our food-grade products are compliant with international requirements and aligned with modern green cleaning practices.
Our range includes sponge sheets and blocks, abrasive materials, scouring pads, steel wool products, and specialised cleaning solutions tailored for both domestic and large-scale industrial use. These products are widely used in food preparation environments, contract cleaning, manufacturing, and even the automotive sector.
Innovation remains central to our approach. We continuously invest in research and development to improve product performance while reducing environmental impact. Our solutions are designed to be durable, efficient, and, where required, enhanced with antibacterial properties to support safer, healthier environments.
With decades of experience behind us, Waxo continues to uphold its reputation for excellence, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing standards. Today, we proudly serve both local and international markets, staying true to our heritage while evolving to meet the needs of a changing world.
