Cheer (detergent)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cheer is the name of a laundry detergent on the market in the United States. It is manufactured by Procter & Gamble.

It was introduced sometime around 1951, and after a slight reformulation in 1952, was a highly successful follow up to P&G's Tide product from 1948-49. [1]

Cheer is recognized for its distinctive blue granules. The 1952 formula ("Blue-Magic Whitener") was designed to clean as well as perform bluing, which makes white clothing look whiter (this was traditionally a separate process). One magazine ad proclaimed, "...washes clothes so clean, so white, you don't need bluing or bleach!"

In the 1960's the brand was repositioned as "All-Tempa-Cheer"; as it was formulated to clean clothes effectively in all water temperatures.

The brand is currently known as Cheer Colorguard.
