You've probably seen our consumer products on store shelves or have our products in your homes. What you may not realize is our first customers were professionals who needed commercial cleaning and disinfecting solutions. The company began by creating products to meet the needs of professionals and we've never lost sight of our heritage, which resonates with us to this day and carries on with our professional portfolio of products.
Each year we spend 2 percent of our annual sales, approximately $100 million, in Research and Development to make sure every product we sell meets the high standards of performance that are expected from The Clorox Company. Recognized and trusted for decades, each Clorox brand reflects a heritage of quality and experience in cleaning, sanitizing, disinfecting as well as quality and taste in foodservice.
Instead of just one product for the professional customer, we offer a wide range of products designed to help you do your job and surpass expectations.
