CHICAGO, Jan. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- In 2017, Jelmar, a respected leader in the cleaning products industry most notably known for its CLR® product line, is celebrating the 50^th anniversary of its most iconic product, Tarn-X® Tarnish Remover. To celebrate this milestone, Jelmar will introduce an all-new Tarn-X brand label this February.

As one of the first products to ever use the phrase "As Seen on TV" in commercials and packaging, Tarn-X has since become a household staple and the number one selling tarnish remover in the United States. Tarn-X is the original "wipe and rinse" cleaner specifically formulated to eliminate tarnish on sterling silver, silver plate, platinum, copper, gold and diamonds without scrubbing.

"My grandfather, Manny Gutterman, created our company with the vision of fulfilling the American dream through the sale of his own branded products," said Alison Gutterman, CEO and President of Jelmar. "From that vision, Tarn-X was born 50 years ago in 1967. Since then, the brand has come a long way in new initiatives, including the launch of the CLR product line, while still maintaining three generations' worth of authentic practices and goals."

The packaging was developed after months of research including quantitative testing and focus groups to determine feedback from brand loyalists and newcomers alike. The Tarn-X bottle features a new blue label that signifies the strength and loyalty the brand has sustained over generations, while its modern look better represents the ongoing evolution of the brand. Most importantly, the new label will bring to the forefront the Women-Owned and Made in the USA logos to reflect the company's values and practices. Last year, Jelmar also rebranded its entire CLR brand product line. The rebranded Tarn-X and CLR products are currently on shelves at most retailers across the country.
