Surf Excel, launched in 1959, is one of the oldest detergent powders in India and Pakistan. Initially, the brand was positioned on the clean proposition of “washes whitest”. However, with the emergence of numerous local detergent manufacturers and the entry of other global brands, Surf Excel underwent various changes in its Brand Communication. This is in line with the global communication platform of Dirt Is Good, which is a communication strategy of Unilever for its premium detergent products, sold under various brand names; such as Omo in Brazil and Persil in UK and France. Today, Surf Excel leads the Premium Fabric Wash Category in India. Some of the other major detergent products of Unilever in India are Rin and Wheel. The latest entry into the segment is Comfort, a Fabric Conditioner.

“There are portraits and still-lifes
And the first, because ‘human’
Does not excel the second,”
