Cif Cleanboost Cream Lemon multipurpose cleaner

Cif is a globally recognized household cleaning brand that has been a staple in homes for over half a century. Originally launched in France in 1965 as a revolutionary non-scratch cream cleaner, the brand was introduced to compete with harsher scouring powders of the era. For many decades, it was famously known as 'Jif' in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and several other markets before undergoing a major global brand harmonization in 2001 to align under the name Cif.

Today, the brand is owned by the British multinational consumer goods giant Unilever. While the brand has its roots in France, its products are manufactured across various global facilities to serve different regions. For the UK market, Cif Cream products, including the Cleanboost range, are often imported from manufacturing hubs in Central Europe, specifically Hungary, as indicated by regional retail data.

The Cleanboost technology represents the brand's modern evolution, utilizing naturally derived cleaning particles and microcrystals to maintain its high-performance reputation while moving toward more sustainable formulations. Unilever, headquartered in London, continues to manage Cif as one of its 'Power Brands,' ensuring its availability in over 60 countries under various regional names like Viss in Germany and Vim in Canada.
