Spar Original Dishwashing Liquid

Spar Original Dishwashing Liquid is a private-label cleaning product sold by the Spar retail network. The brand was originally founded in the Netherlands in 1932 by Adriaan van Well under the name 'DE SPAR'. The name is an acronym for a Dutch slogan meaning 'All benefit from joint cooperation'.

While the brand is Dutch in origin, the manufacturing of its private-label goods typically occurs in various locations depending on the local regional licensee. For products found in Northern Europe or Sweden, they are often sourced from regional chemical manufacturers within the EU to maintain competitive pricing. The brand itself is owned by Spar International, which acts as a global franchisor, licensing the name to local operators such as Spar Sweden (Axfood) or other national retail groups.
