What Happened to Spirit Cleaner After Dragons’ Den?

Spirit Cleaner appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2009, Series 7 Episode 8. The business was a recyclable cleaning spirit. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Gary Herriet and Tom Row walked into the Den in 2009 with a recyclable cleaning spirit. They were asking for £120,000.

Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.

The Deal

No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Gary Herriet and Tom Row left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Spirit Cleaner is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2009, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.

Is Spirit Cleaner Still in Business?

Yes. Spirit Cleaner appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
