History
editRenuzit cleaning fluid was originally produced by Radbill Oil Co. of Philadelphia in 1932,[1] which became Renuzit Home Products Company sometime before 1947.[2] The company was acquired by Drackett in 1969 (a child company of Bristol-Myers, which merged with Squibb in 1989).
In 1992, Bristol-Myers Squibb sold Drackett to S. C. Johnson & Son, at which point, the Federal Trade Commission ordered S.C. Johnson to divest itself of Renuzit and certain other products within a year, and not purchase any other company making air fresheners for 10 years. The following year, S.C. Johnson sold Renuzit to the Dial Corporation.[3] In 2004, Dial became a subsidiary of Henkel.[4]
