  • CLOROX CO DEL Profile

    Bleach is the cornerstone of Clorox. It offers its namesake household cleaning products, where it is a leader worldwide, and reaches beyond bleach. Clorox makes laundry and cleaning items (Formula 409, Pine-Sol, Tilex), dressing/sauce (Hidden Valley, KC Masterpiece), cat litter (Fresh Step, Scoop Away), car care products (Armor All, STP), the Brita water-filtration system (in North America), and charcoal briquettes (Kingsford, Match Light). Its First Brands buy gave Clorox Glad-brand plastic wraps, storage bags, and containers. Clorox entered the natural personal care niche with its acquisition of Burt's Bees in late 2007. Jerry Johnston, former chairman and CEO, retired in May 2006.
