What's the secret? There is no secret, it’s just that most “ideal” housewives know the secrets of housekeeping and choose the right household chemicals. Silit Beng is the number one cleaning product in the world. Most women trust him. But it’s all in advertising, what kind of miracle remedy is it really?

Most “ideal” housewives know the secrets of housekeeping and choose the right household chemicals.

Cillit Bang Cleaner by Reckitt Benckiser

A few years ago, the British manufacturer Reckitt Benckiser revolutionized the idea of ​​household chemicals. For the first time, Cillit was appreciated by the people of Hungary. Having subsequently traveled all over Europe, he returned to his native land in triumph, creating healthy competition for his opponent - “Mr. Muscle” from Johnson’s.

The success of Cillit Bang detergent was initially hidden behind colorful packaging and well-thought-out marketing policies. Over five million pounds were spent on advertising the product.

Reckitt Benckiser is better known in the world market not thanks to Cillit Bang, but to other well-known products: Dettol, Vanish, Nurofen and so on.

What is the composition of Cillit Bang cleaning product?

Cases of irritation of the mucous membrane of the eyes and nose have been recorded during use. There was a sore throat, but the main consumer dissatisfaction was caused by the lack of a recommendation on the packaging to use gloves. When cleaning surfaces without protection, the skin on your hands suffers greatly.

1. Depending on the purpose, the composition of the products is slightly modified. For example, Cillit Bang - Anti-fat. It contains linalool, a type of alcohol with a strong lily of the valley odor;
2. Surfactants – less than 5 percent.

Anionic surfactants are responsible for removing fat. They are widely used in household chemicals due to their inexpensive price and efficiency. The downside is the aggressive effect on the skin.

The absence of alkalis, designed to combat fat, has a positive effect on the composition. "Silit Beng Antizhir" can be safely used for washing dishes. Most products do not contain abrasive particles that could damage the surface.
