Austin Diversified Products Inc. pledges to manufacture cleaners and other products that leave the world a safe and healthy place for you and future generations. You’ll find most of our products work better than your favorite name brand cleaners.  But are completely safe to you and our planet.

Our ADVANAGE Wonder Cleaners are biodegradable, non-toxic, non-irritating to the skin and free from ammonia and acids. ADVANAGE Wonder Cleaners contain no harsh chemicals such as solvents, alkalis, inorganic builders or fillers, heavy metals, ozone depleting chemicals or VOCs.

ADVANAGE Wonder Cleaner meets USDA, OSHA and EPA standards.  In fact, it beats government standards for “ready biogradability.”  Meaning it contains no toxic chemicals that can contaminate our water or soil.

ADVANAGE Wonder Cleaners are not tested on animals and is endorsed by PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).  Our cleaners are gentle enough to wash your finest fabrics yet strong enough to remove grease and grime from your driveway.

“Many people lack the skills to achieve the career goals they desire. Maybe they can't afford a college education or perhaps they grew up in an environment that didn't allow them to prosper. Still, they aspire to earn a good living and are willing to work hard.  They want to learn about the business world, enrich themselves professionally and personally. They understand that being a quality salesperson means having a positive attitude and a gracious personality.

Organizations like mine allow these individuals the chance to create a better life for themselves and for those around them.

They are good honest people who just need to be given the opportunity to succeed. My organization would not be a success without their hard work and dedication. I encourage you to give these individuals the chance they deserve in life. I did.  As a result, my life - and theirs - continues to improve each and every day.”

Sincerely,
Nathan T. Edwards
President, Austin Diversified Products, Inc.

Nathan Edwards was born in Greenwood Mississippi. At age 7, Nathan moved to Chicago with his parents. After high school, he wanted to buy a car. Soon he learned he wouldn’t be able to save enough, and quickly realized that no matter how hard he worked, he still earned the same as the next guy doing the very same job.

At age 19, he took a job selling magazines door to door. That’s where he learned the difference between a conventional job and one that rewards you according to how hard you’re willing to work.

Within two years, he was promoted to a supervisory position, responsible for motivating and training sales people. Two years later, he grew a sales team of 5 people to 60. Never before had someone so young, grown a team so quickly.

In 1980, Nathan and his wife Ruth founded Austin Diversified Products, Inc. and developed ADVANAGE Wonder Cleaner. First they bottled it in their garage and sold it door-to-door with a crew of 10 sales people. In a short time, "Our sales people were selling it faster than we could bottle it."

From the beginning, he has recruited sales people from the inner cities of America. The reason: to give thousands of young people – who lack education, direction and opportunity – a chance to break away from a life of poverty and unemployment.

Twenty-eight years later, Nathan and his wife still actively run the business. Forever the salesman, Nathan spends most of his time "in the field" training, traveling with his sales crews and motivating them to succeed.
