Daz

From Graces Guide
December 1953.
January 1955.

Daz is the name of a popular laundry detergent on the market in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It is manufactured by Procter and Gamble.

Aggressively marketed, it is associated in popular culture with the "Daz Doorstep Challenge" series of commercials, which saw various 'hosts' including Danny Baker, Shane Richie and Michael Barrymore surprising house occupiers at the door and asking them to put Daz to the test against a rival detergent. Recent TV commercials are set in an obviously fictitious "Cleaner Close" soap opera.

Daz also makes Daz tablets and Daz liquid.

  • 1953 Daz was first launched in the UK. [1]
