New Delhi- 10th Feburary 2006: After fantastic success across Europe, America and South Africa, Easy Off Bang is now available in India. Easy Off Bang is a multipurpose surface cleaner, which removes tough stains like hard-water build up, rust stains and ground-in dirt which ordinary surface cleaners/detergents/or phenyls cannot remove despite rigorous amount of rubbing and scrubbing.
That's why within two years of its launch in Europe, it is now present in 71 countries across the globe. In Tamil Nadu, where it was launched in June 2005 (TN was the test market), it is already a huge success with 15% market share.
Easy Off Bang is available nationwide at Rs 65 for 400ml in a handy squirt bottle with an easy-use nozzle. It's suitable for removing stains across various surfaces like tiles & floors, washbasin, taps & showers, window grills & panes, steel utensils, plastics and ceramics.
