Cif Cream Cleaner

Cif is a world-renowned household cleaning brand famous for its abrasive cream cleaner. First launched in France in 1969, it was developed by Unilever as a powerful yet surface-safe alternative to scouring powders. Over the decades, the brand has expanded its portfolio to include sprays, wipes, and specialized cleaners for bathrooms and kitchens, often marketed under alternative names such as Jif, Viss, or Vim depending on the region.

While the brand's heritage is deeply rooted in Western Europe, its manufacturing footprint is global to meet high demand across more than 50 countries. Significant production facilities are located in Hungary, serving the UK and European markets, as well as in other industrial hubs where the parent company, Unilever, maintains operations. Ownership remains under Unilever, which manages the brand through its local subsidiaries like Unilever UK Ltd and Unilever Ireland Ltd, focusing on sustainable packaging initiatives and high-performance surfactant formulas.
