The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Mr. Clean launched in 1958 in the United States. Linwood Burton, the product's creator, developed the brand around a single idea: a liquid cleaner that cuts grease. The Magic Eraser, introduced in 2003, became the signature product that redefined household cleaning. The foam pad removes scuffs and marks without chemicals, transforming how consumers approach wall and surface care. Today Mr. Clean operates across 21,133 tracked brands globally and ranks first in Home, Kitchen & Appliances. The brand dominates American kitchens and bathrooms, owned by Procter & Gamble since the beginning. The bald, muscular mascot remains the face of the product line, instantly recognizable across generations.
