Put a Smart Twist on Cleaning

LEXINGTON, Ky., Aug. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The new SC Johnson All-In-One Cleaning System allows users to clean more efficiently and effectively by choosing three of their five favorite trusted cleaners to dock in one simple, lightweight sprayer. The system is modernizing the way families approach home cleaning. As busy lifestyles evolve, families are looking for products that help them do more with less and are drastically reducing the time they spend on cleaning. In fact, women spent nine hours less each week cleaning in 2005 than in 1975(1).

This new tool makes cleaning the whole home faster, easier and more efficient by removing the hassle of carrying around numerous bulky cleaning supplies. Now, families can move seamlessly from room to room and surface to surface, switching instantly among the cleaners they know and love, including Windex®, fantastik®, Scrubbing Bubbles®, Pledge®, and Shout® Carpet with just a simple twist.

How it Works

The SC Johnson All-In-One Cleaning System is designed to hold up to three concentrated cleaner cartridges at once in a single hand-held sprayer. This design gives homeowners the ability to save precious space and get rid of cleaning clutter. Additionally, the compact design makes it convenient to store in multiple places around the home to keep within quick reach when needed.

The available concentrated cleaner cartridges include:

• Windex® Glass: Perfect for glass, mirrors, and chrome—use it for a streak-free shine.
• fantastik® Kitchen: Fights tough grease and grime in the kitchen on countertops, stovetops, and stainless steel.
• Scrubbing Bubbles® Bathroom: Works on tough surfaces like tubs, showers, tile, counters, and sinks.
• Pledge® Furniture: Cleans and dusts all your hard surfaces in one easy step and is safe to use on wood.
• Shout® Carpet: Ideal for spots and stains on the carpet.

"Consumers today trust the same products that their mothers did – but they don't clean the same way. Given today's busy schedules, there simply isn't time to be tied down by old techniques that haven't evolved," said Kelly M. Semrau, Senior Vice President – Global Corporate Affairs, Communication and Sustainability for SC Johnson. "SC Johnson is committed to providing revolutionary tools designed to make life simpler and easier for busy families."
