Here, we produce around 300 different HG quality products that are sold worldwide to millions of consumers in more than 45 countries.
Specialist since 1969
In 1969, the company Van Altena B.V. began importing HG products into the Netherlands. From the 1970s onwards, all HG products have been developed and produced at our production site (and also headquarters) in Almere.
Wide range
HG is the specialist and now offers more than 300 products for cleaning, maintenance and restoration in and around the home. Each product has been specially developed by us for a specific problem.
Quality products
All products are developed and tested in our own Technology & Research (T&R) department. Quality is our top priority! Only when a product truly does what it promises does it reach the market. It is no coincidence that our slogan is: HG Does what it promises.
Market leader in the Benelux
Our quality quickly proved to be a success, and HG products can now be found in more and more households. People who use our products experience their quality and effectiveness first-hand. As a result, we have been the undisputed market leader in the Benelux for many years.

In the eighties, we started exporting from the Netherlands. Today, the products we develop and produce in Almere are sold to millions of people in more than 45 countries.
Tips for maintenance and cleaning
Every day brings a cleaning or maintenance job. From the occasional descaling or cleaning of your Nespresso machine to the weekly scrubbing of the floor or removing mould in the bathroom. HG has collected a number of tips for the following tasks:
• Cleaning various rooms in the home
• Maintaining appliances
• DIY jobs indoors and out
• Maintaining the garden and patio
Did you know, for example, that a monthly maximum temperature wash helps keep your washing machine clean? And that snails don't like garlic? Navigate through the various categories above to find useful tips to help you in housework and DIY jobs!
Most important general cleaning tip
The most important tip for any cleaning and maintenance is to do it regularly. If you clean the regularly used kitchen cupboard handles every day for example, bacteria have less chance to develop. If you descale the bathroom every week, it's a lot less work than when you delay the process, and a stubborn layer of limescale forms in the meantime. And what about your jewellery? The more often you polish it, the more beautiful it will stay.
