Surf Excel

The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with India and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. Please improve this article and discuss the issue on the talk page.
Surf Excel, launched in 1954, is one of the oldest detergent powders in India. Initially, the brand was positioned on the clean proposition of ashes 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; from 'lalitaji' to 'dhoondte reh jaaoge' to 'jaise bhi daag ho, surf excel hai na', and is today communicated on the platform of 'Dhaag achcha hai'. 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.
Product Range
Surf Excel products include Matic, a detergent powder designed specially for washing machines as it has a low lather formula. Quick Wash is a product that saves up to 2 buckets of water and Blue is used for Fabric and Colour Care. Surf Excel also has some specialist products like Gentle Wash, a liquid detergent, and Surf Excel Bar, a nil mineral detergent bar.
