Dettol Antiseptic Disinfectant

Dettol is one of the world's most recognized hygiene brands, originally launched in 1932. Primarily known for its iconic amber-colored antiseptic liquid with a distinctive chloroxylenol-based scent, it was first used in British hospitals for surgical cleaning and postpartum care before becoming a household staple globally.

Today, the brand's manufacturing presence spans the globe to meet international demand, with major production facilities located in the United Kingdom, India, Thailand, Nigeria, and several other regions. This decentralized production strategy allows the brand to cater to local hygiene standards and logistics while maintaining its reputation for clinical efficacy.

The brand is owned by the British multinational consumer goods giant Reckitt (formerly Reckitt Benckiser). Over the decades, Dettol's product line has expanded significantly beyond its original antiseptic liquid to include liquid hand washes, bar soaps, surface cleaners, and laundry sanitizers, positioning it as a leader in both the personal care and household cleaning sectors.
