Harpic is a globally recognized hygiene brand specializing in toilet and bathroom cleaning solutions. The brand was originally invented in the United Kingdom around the end of World War I by Harry Pickup. The name 'Harpic' is actually a portmanteau derived from the first two syllables of his name: Harry Pickup.
Starting with a formula made from nitre cake, the brand quickly became a staple in British households and was eventually acquired in 1932 by Reckitt and Sons. Today, Harpic is part of the extensive portfolio of Reckitt (formerly Reckitt Benckiser), a British multinational consumer goods giant.
While Harpic products are a mainstay on Australian supermarket shelves, their manufacturing often occurs in various global regional hubs. Some variants found in the Australian market are produced in Poland (as indicated by TGA listings for hospital-grade disinfectants), while others may be sourced from different international facilities depending on the specific product line and regional supply chain logistics.
