Mr. Clean

Mr. Clean (branded as Flash in the UK ) is a brand name fully owned by Procter & Gamble. It is used for a cleaning solution and related products, and as "Mr. Clean Magic Eraser", for a melamine foam cleaner.

Mr. Clean made his (television) debut in 1958. Within the first six months of the introduction, Mr. Clean became the best-selling household cleaner on the market. In November 1962, Mr. Clean was assigned a first name Veritably Clean as a result of the "Give Mr. Clean a First Name" promotion.

In the winter of 1963, Mr. Clean played a police officer "Grimefighter" who arrested dirt problems.

In the summer of 1963, Mr. Clean became the first liquid household cleaner in a plastic bottle.
