Deep cleaning gives a sense of security

Today’s consumers want to feel secure that they’ve done more than remove stains and dirt. They want to remove health risks. And prevent new risks from entering their homes. This awareness will lead to clearer preferences for claims focused on hygiene, prevention and control.

No compromises for the dedicated consumer

With the increased importance of cleaning, the home care category is transforming. Now it’s a high-involvement category. Consumers are actively seeking cleaning advice. Plus, they’re paying less attention to the price tag of the detergent.

Upgrading your detergent now can help consumers find the high-tier detergent they’re looking for – in an industry where higher quality will be the new normal.
