Kleeneze started with a man named Harry Crook. After working in America for the Fuller Brush Company, he returned to England in 1923 and set up his own brush business in Bristol called the Kleen-E-Ze Brush Company.
Since
it's humble beginnings in 1923, Kleeneze has enjoyed a profit during every single year of trading.
1930 saw Kleeneze's first major milestone when it topped a £1 million turnover, which was a massive amount of money back in those days.
Further products were introduced and Kleeneze obtained a place in history in 1959 by becoming the first company to introduce the 40 hour working week.
In 1970, Kleeneze led the way as one of the first company's in the UK to pioneer network marketing - a bold step at the time, but they have never regretted it.
By the 1990's,
Kleeneze had become so successful that they were purchased by Farepak - the hamper company, and became part of the
now £250
million+ Kleeneze plc Group.
After celebrating their 75th anniversary in 1998, Kleeneze extended it's operations into Ireland and changed it's name to Kleeneze Europe
Ltd.
This
demonstrated a clear intention of further expansion plans into
mainland Europe.
In
2002 Kleeneze reached its £100 Million per year turnover (700%
growth over the last 8 years)
At
80 years of age Kleeneze has been compared to a vintage wine - it

definitions the most successful
