Household Cleaning Supplies

The Google product category ID for Household Cleaning Supplies is 623.

Using this value

Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (623) or the full path ("Home & Garden > Household Supplies > Household Cleaning Supplies"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone. Before sending it, check whether one of the 18 subcategories below fits — a narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things.

Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.

These sit under the same parent and start with the same word, which is exactly when the wrong one gets picked.

Questions about Household Cleaning Supplies

What is the Google product category ID for Household Cleaning Supplies?

623. The full path, "Home & Garden > Household Supplies > Household Cleaning Supplies", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.

Should I use Household Cleaning Supplies or one of its subcategories?

Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Household Cleaning Supplies has 18 directly below it, starting with Broom & Mop Handles (4671), Broom Heads (499892), Brooms (2857), and 37 in total further down. 623 is itself a predefined value, so an interior category is not an error — it just groups the product more broadly than a subcategory would.

Where does Household Cleaning Supplies sit in the taxonomy?

At level 3, under Household Supplies (630). The chain from the top is Home & Garden → Household Supplies → Household Cleaning Supplies. If your product does not belong under Household Supplies, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.

What should I use if Household Cleaning Supplies is not quite right?

Look across the rest of Household Supplies first — there are 17 other categories at this level: Drawer & Shelf Liners (7351), Floor Protection Films & Runners (499674), Furniture Floor Protectors (7214), Garage Floor Mats (8522), Garbage Bags (2374), Household Paper Products (2530), and 11 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Household Supplies (630) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.

3 levels more. The longest route down from Household Cleaning Supplies is Household Cleaning Supplies > Household Cleaning Products > Glass & Surface Cleaners > Glass Cleaners, ending at Glass Cleaners (543649) on level 6. Not every branch below Household Cleaning Supplies runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
