LOC (Liquid Organic Cleaner)
More than a handful of helpful hints
LOC was Amway’s first product and sold more than US$500,000 in the first 6 months of 1959!
LOC was the worlds’ first organic biodegradable cleaner and has remained a global favourite.
It is non-caustic and non-toxic which makes it a totally safe product to use and for the environment. Even the container burns to a biodegradable ash or can be recycled in the usual way. Based on a coconut oil derivative, it is a gentle yet very effective cleaner on all washable surfaces.
