Mr. Clean Mascot Retires After 68 Years

P&G says the retirement will not affect packaging or product availability.

Overview

  • The brand announced the retirement in a staged press-conference video on Instagram and TikTok, followed by a Notes-app message signed with the character’s first name, Veritably.
  • Mr. Clean’s accounts emphasized that the cleaners will continue to be sold despite the character’s exit.
  • Spokesperson Maytal Levi said there will be no changes to the Mr. Clean packaging.
  • Subsequent posts depict the mascot trying new hobbies, including DJing, snowboarding, running, cooking and rock climbing.
  • It remains unclear whether this is a long-term brand shift or a marketing storyline, and the company has not introduced a successor.
