BigNews.Biz - Apr 21,2009 - The award is an especially significant achievement for Brand Bref, which is just a year old in India, having been launched in the country only in March 2008. Bref Power cleaner is the first multi surface cleaner in the country which comes in foam. The foam sticks to the dirt and reacts with it long enough to dissolve the toughest stains. Just Spray, keep it for a minute and wipe away the toughest stains effortlessly. The power foam becomes extremely effective when cleaning vertical surfaces & ceilings as normal liquid cleaners would fall down and a lot would be required. This recognition goes to show that Bref is all set to redefine the dynamics of household cleaning in India with its household and toilet cleaning range.
Pril Anti bacterial Liquid that won the award for its innovation in utensil cleaner category has unique anti bacterial properties of Neem which kills 99.9% germs making dishes clean beyond visibly clean. The award reinforced Pril’s image as a true innovator and the preferred choice of consumers across the country. Pril has pioneered many innovations in the category and made a task of dishwashing a joyful experience for the consumer. Pril was also the first to bring in the concept of Odour neutralization in dishwashing by the addition of Vinegar. Only Pril has the double power of Lime + Vinegar, while lime does the basic degreasing like any other washing aid, Vinegar removes the residual food odor from the dishes. Now with the addition of 3rd element Pril reinforces the Claim of Pril Clean=Full clean.
