Mr. Clean all-purpose cleaner was originally developed in the 1950s to clean grease and grime on ships. It was a non-abrasive alternative to the harsh solvents used at the time. Procter & Gamble bought the brand in 1958, and the bald and beloved Mr. Clean character was introduced shortly after.
The extremely popular Magic Eraser was added to the Mr. Clean family in the early 2000s.
