About Truce

Truce's vision is that every home is a clean and toxin-free environment that is safe for everyone in the family - including pets. In 1996, longtime Phoenix resident and avid baker Kandie Konomos began a household cleaning company. However, not long after starting, Kandie noticed her skin would often react to the chemicals in the cleaning products. After being regularly exposed to all sorts of these products, she soon developed contact dermatitis. In an effort to relieve her painful allergic condition, she tried many of the so-called “green” products, but with no luck. As her condition continued, she imagined a product with a simpler recipe - one that could clean effectively yet not cause irritation or pain. A baker at heart, Kandie soon realized if she could create recipes for all sorts of baked goods, she could also develop recipes for safe and effective cleaning products. After years of experimenting in dozens of homes, she finalized her recipes in late 2003.Read their story
