Cif

Everyone knows real life is dirty. And there's no point in pretending it's easily taken care of – it has to be cleaned thoroughly. Cif is the only everyday cleaner that deals with even the toughest dirt without damaging surfaces.

A history of innovation

Baking with mumThe arrival of Cif in 1969, first launched in France and later rolled out in 45 countries, heralded the end of scouring powders. Initially, the brand focused on cream cleansers for the kitchen and bathroom, underpinned by its famous 'Skater' ads, which highlighted how scouring powders can 'scratch like skates on ice'.

Flexible & convenient

More recently, Cif has extended its core strength – its 'strong yet gentle' cream heritage – into new arenas, giving consumers greater flexibility and convenience. In India, we've developed a specialist protective coating for our hand dishwash bar that prevents it turning 'mushy' when it's left in water. In the UK Cif has sponsored a popular prime-time TV programme, How Clean is your House about tackling Britain's dirtiest houses and toughest cleaning jobs.
