Domestos launches first-to-market 360 degree power foam spray

Domestos launches first-to-market 360 degree power foam spray

Domestos has unveiled the UK’s first upside-down foaming spray, Domestos Power Foam – a unique toilet cleaner that kills germs in hard-to-reach places without using any bleach.

Currently, many people use two or more products to do different jobs around the bathroom but 50 per cent of them prefer to have a one-stop solution that can be used across multiple surfaces. The new, powerful spray contains a foaming formulation which clings to surfaces, kills germs and removes limescale, providing value for shoppers as less product is required compared to traditional toilet cleaners.


89 per cent of shoppers also use bleach in their toilet, but many feel it’s not safe to use bleach on other areas such as sinks, taps or the bath. That’s why Domestos has developed a non-bleach Power Foam to provide an all-in-one, easy solution for cleaning difficult spots in the bathroom. The 360-degree spray trigger technology even works upside down.

“Shoppers tell us they look for germ-kill and limescale removal when choosing a bathroom cleaning product, and when cleaning the toilet, the most common complaint is trying to kill germs in those hard-to-reach places such as underneath the rim or in the toilet seat hinge," said Claire Racklyeft, Unilever Home and Hygiene Category Lead. "As market leader, Domestos is committed to driving innovation and leading the category and new Domestos Power Foam, which was three years in development, is designed to reach every nook and cranny of the bathroom to meet the challenges faced by shoppers every day. We’re confident it will drive growth for the category too.”

Domestos Power Foam Citrus Blast scaled

The innovation is the latest development in Unilever’s Clean Future strategy. Clean Future aims to fundamentally change the way that some of the world’s best-known cleaning and laundry products are created, manufactured, and packaged, supported by a €1bn investment over 10 years. In addition to the unique formulation, Domestos Power Foam bottles are made from 50 per cent post-consumer recycled plastic (PCR) and is recyclable, once the trigger and sleeve are removed. The sleeves can be easily removed and taken to soft plastic recycling points.

A £10m marketing investment will support the launch, with a new TV advert and out of home campaign going live in March 2023. Ahead of that, a social media influencer programme will run, whilst in-store shopper displays and POS will be available to retailers from January.

New Domestos Power Foam Toilet and Bathroom is available in two variants – Arctic Fresh and Citrus Blast (450ml) across grocery and convenience channels now with an RRP of £3.

Swizzels limited-edition Valentine’s Day treat

Sweet maker Swizzels has unveiled a brand-new limited-edition product in time for Valentine’s Day, combining two of its most-loved brands into one treat: Squashies Love Hearts.

Offering a fresh twist on two popular classics, the new Squashies Love Hearts combine Squashies’ signature soft texture with the iconic and timeless messages of Love Hearts.

Squashies remain the No. 1 sugar confectionery brand in the market, while Love Hearts see consistent growth, with 950,000 units sold during the Valentine’s period and a 10 per cent year-on-year growth in brand value. Building on this success, Swizzels has combined the two household names to create a fast-moving and profitable addition to any retailer’s offering.

Available in 120g bags and sold in cases of 12, each foam sweet is embossed with a fun message or emoji, making them ideal for sharing with a loved one. Messages include "KISS", "WOW", "FAB", and "LOVE", alongside two cheerful and romantic emojis, adding a playful touch.

With an MRSP of £1.15, the new product retains the classic colours and flavours of traditional Love Hearts, including Pineapple, Lime, Blackcurrant, Lemon, Cherry, and Orange.

Swizzels’ Love Hearts range remains a Valentine’s Day favourite, led by the popular 39g Giant Love Hearts rolls, which outsell any other Valentine’s SKU with 621,000 units sold during the season.



Other fan-favourites from the range include Love Hearts Originals Hanging Bags, the 15g mini Love Hearts rolls and Giant Love Hearts multipacks.

“We’re excited to introduce a delicious and innovative new product that combines two of our most popular brands, delivering the same moreish flavours and signature texture - with an added twist," said trade marketing manager Clare Newton.
