About the Windex® brand
First introduced in 1933, the Windex® brand includes a portfolio of glass cleaners, multi-surface cleaners, outdoor cleaners, and electronic cleaners.
Making fingerprints disappear for 90 years
We didn't become an icon of streak-free shine overnight. Windex® Glass Cleaner was introduced in 1933 – in the heart of the Great Depression – as an automobile windshield cleaner by Philip Drackett. For years glass cleaners on the market were blue due to the popularity of Windex’s original formulation.
In 1992 SC Johnson acquired The Drackett Company, bringing the Windex® brand into the SC Johnson family of brands.
Windex® Windows of Opportunity helped bring natural light to a school
In the early ’70s, there was a movement in America to build school classrooms without windows—they theorized it would minimize distractions for students so they could focus more on their studies. Turns out, performance and morale actually increase when more sunlight comes into the classroom. That’s where the “Windows of Opportunity” pilot project comes into play.
Thanks to Windex’s pilot project, Eisenhower Elementary School went from zero to 70 windows throughout the building, adding them to classrooms, the gym and cafeteria.
