Dettol Antiseptic Liquid

Dettol is one of the world's most recognizable hygiene brands, widely trusted for its antiseptic and disinfectant properties. It was originally launched in 1932 by Reckitt & Sons in the United Kingdom. Its first major use was in hospitals for surgical procedures and for cleaning skin, most notably playing a significant role in reducing puerperal fever (childbed fever) in maternity wards. Over the decades, the brand expanded from its iconic liquid antiseptic—known for its distinct amber color and milky-white suspension when diluted—into a vast range of household and personal care products, including soaps, hand washes, and surface cleaners.

Today, Dettol is manufactured in numerous locations worldwide to serve different regional markets, including facilities in the United Kingdom, India, China, Thailand, and Nigeria. The brand remains a cornerstone of the global Reckitt portfolio, maintaining its position as a market leader in the hygiene sector and a staple in both medical and domestic environments as a preventative measure against germs and infection.
