Zep is a no-nonsense, Atlanta-based powerhouse churning out heavy-duty cleaners, degreasers, disinfectants, and maintenance chemicals that actually dissolve grease instead of dissolving into corporate feel-good fluff. Founded way back in 1937 as a tiny chemical outfit, they’ve spent nearly 90 years perfecting formulas for factories, garages, restaurants, and janitorial pros. Think of them as the blue-collar cousin who shows up with a pressure washer instead of a PowerPoint on pronouns.

Zep stays gloriously anti-woke by skipping the DEI circus, ESG guilt trips, and any rainbow-washed Pride campaigns that turn janitorial closets into social-justice seminars, no BLM hashtags, no “inclusion training” for the floor stripper, just straight-up solvents that don’t lecture you about systemic anything. Interestingly, while every other brand is busy polishing its moral halo, Zep is too busy polishing actual floors to bother with the virtue parade.

Woke Agendas Avoided

Companies To Avoid

Done bankrolling the woke circus? Steer clear of these companies that prioritize hashtags and virtue signaling over their customers. They’re more interested in preaching than delivering products you actually want.
