Company Description

Bleach is the cornerstone of Clorox. The company's namesake household cleaning products are world leaders, but the Clorox business reaches far beyond bleach. While it makes laundry and cleaning items (Formula 409, Pine-Sol, Green Works), its vast product portfolio extends into dressings/sauces (Hidden Valley, KC Masterpiece), plastic wrap and containers (Glad), and cat litters (Fresh Step, Scoop Away). Other products include filtration systems (Brita, in North America), charcoal briquettes (Kingsford, Match Light), and natural personal-care items (Burt's Bees). It sold its car-care brands (Armor All, STP) in 2010. The company makes products in about two dozen countries and sells them in more than 100 countries.
