Cleaning when the season comes – and in other parts of the year too

Edit Oláh, a Vileda – Freudenberg Háztartási Cikkek Bt.’s marketing manager reckons that since the breakout of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 people have been cleaning more often and thoroughly, using better products and equipment. This trend also manifests in an improved sales performance. Buying cleaning products online has become much more significant than before.

Réka Biró-Kőszegvári, Henkel Magyarország Kft.’s brand manager told our magazine that toilet freshener sales increased by double-digit numbers in 2020 and the positive trend continued in 2021. Discounters, drugstores and Hungarian-owned retail chains were the main places of buying these products.

Antal Nagy, co-owner of Brilliance Tisztítószer Gyártó Kft. spoke to us about shoppers wanting to buy basically nothing else but disinfectants in the first quarter of 2020. Sales revenues skyrocketed because of the pandemic, but 2021 brought a very slow start; then from spring sales started strengthening again.

Cleanliness throughout the year

Réka Biró-Kőszegvári revealed that consumers show greater demand for buying premium toilet fresheners. Larger sizes are increasingly popular and this year sales of 3-product multipacks grew the fastest.

Antal Nagy talked to our magazine about the disappearance of classic cleaning periods. Those people who want their home to be clean do a big cleaning any time of the year, they don’t wait for the spring or the autumn.

Edit Oláh added that thanks to product innovation, more and more consumers choose cleaning equipment that makes it easier to do the housework. Vileda’s mop and bucket set with a foot pedal operated wringer can now be found in many households. Thanks to its excellent characteristics, microfibers can be used in many areas of cleaning – from wipes, floor care or mops.

Quick, thorough and eco-friendly

Henkel Magyarország Kft. put a new Bref toilet freshener on the market in June. Bref Brilliant Gel is basically premium gel balls that make the toilet bowl hygienic and squeaky clean.

Vileda – Freudenberg Háztartási Cikkek Bt. rolled out the Vileda 1-2 Spray Max mop this year. This product is the perfect choice for small, quick cleaning or if something is spilled in the kitchen – users don’t even need a bucket!

Premiumisation in the detergent market and the eco-friendly customer attitude’s gaining momentum mark a change in the overall consumer approach

Brilliance Tisztítószer Gyártó Kft. places great emphasis on protecting the environment, developing more and more ECO products. Their 1,000m² Csepel-based factory will be made bigger with a new 2,500m² site for production and storage purposes. //
