Domestos Bleach-Based Household Cleaning Product

Domestos is a bleach-based household cleaning product that originated in the United Kingdom in 1929. It was created by William Handley, a dental mechanic, who sold the solution door-to-door as a sterilizer and drain cleaner. In 1961, the brand was acquired by Lever Brothers, which later became part of Unilever. Today, Unilever manufactures Domestos in multiple countries, and the brand is sold worldwide under various names, including Domex in India and the Philippines, Glorix in the Netherlands, and Vim in Vietnam, Argentina, and Brazil. The primary owner of Domestos is Unilever, a British-Dutch multinational company headquartered in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
