โฆ Synopsis
innovative cleaning products. RB has rolled out several new cleaning products designed to simplify household chores in 2010, including the Finish Quantumatic dishwasher detergent dispenser system. Another recent introduction is the Lysol No-Touch hand soap system, an antibacterial hand soap that is said to kill 99.9% of bacteria [ibid, Apr 2010]. Data from Information Resources Inc showed that sales of Lysol disinfectants climbed 17% for the year ended 21 Feb 2010 in supermarkets, drugstores and merchandizers, excluding Walmart. Sales of the household cleaner segment in total, however, dropped 2.1% to $1.42 bn (manufacturer's dollars) for the year. Clorox got a boost from the recent H1N1 pandemic, helping the firm record a 5% growth in FY 2Q 2009. But with pandemic worries starting to decline, unit volume gain is also expected to slow.
