The UK Cleaning Products Industry Association is the leading trade association for companies representing UK producers of cleaning and hygiene products. This includes soaps, washing powders and liquids, household disinfectants, air care and polishes, as well as professional cleaning and hygiene products used in industrial and institutional applications.

UKCPI runs awareness campaigns relating to product safety[1] and energy efficiency,[2] and provides materials for schools to teach about effective hand washing.[3]

History

The UK cleaning products industry is worth £3 billion. £700 million of that is taken up by contracting cleaning companies. A large proportion of the total amount is taken up by washing powder, e.g. Bold (P&G), Ariel (P&G) or Persil (Unilever).

In September 2009, Philip Malpass replaced Dr Andy Williams as Director General.

Function

It represents the UK-wide cleaning products industry who make and use (chemical) products for hygiene, soap (detergents and conventional soaps), cleaning surfaces, and air fresheners. It is involved with marketing the industry as a whole (although the industry has some of the UK's notorious largest spenders on advertising) and regulation.

Structure

It is based in Tattenhall in Cheshire West and Chester.
