Dettol All Purpose Cleaner

Dettol is a globally recognized hygiene brand with a heritage dating back to 1933. Originally developed in Hull, United Kingdom, it was first used in hospitals for surgical disinfection and to prevent post-childbirth sepsis. Over the decades, the brand expanded from its iconic antiseptic liquid into a comprehensive range of surface cleansers, hand washes, and laundry sanitizers.

Today, Dettol is owned by Reckitt (formerly Reckitt Benckiser), a British multinational consumer goods giant. While the brand's primary research and development hub remains in Hull, UK, its manufacturing is highly decentralized to serve various global markets. Production occurs in multiple countries, including the United Kingdom, India, and various sites across Europe and Asia, often managed by local subsidiaries like RB Health.

As of 2026, Dettol remains one of Reckitt's 'Powerbrands,' representing a core pillar of their health and hygiene portfolio. Despite periodic market fluctuations and corporate restructuring, the brand maintains its status as a leading protector against germs worldwide, characterized by its famous sword-and-shield logo.
