DISPOSABLE SCRUBBER

-- The Brillo Scrub'n'Toss Cleaning Pad is the first disposable multipurpose scrubber, according to the company. Durable enough for multiple uses, it is also inexpensive enough to throw out when soiled, the company said. "This is a product whose time has come," said Dion Ross, senior brand manager. "This new product is yet another example of our mission to provide innovative solutions that meet today's cleaning challenges." At a suggested retail of $2.49, the product launch will be supported by national television ads, a national freestanding insert, in-store and account specific programs, and a large public relations campaign.
