Soft Scrub(R) and Caesarstone Introduce Partnership

Soft Scrub Products to Be Given Away at Caesarstone's Booth During The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show


SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwired - Apr 18, 2013) - Soft Scrub®, a leading line of kitchen and bath cleansers, has announced a new partnership with Caesarstone®. Select Soft Scrub products will be part of a social media give away at Caesarstone's booth during the upcoming Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), April 19-21 in New Orleans. Attendees who visit booth #1921 will have an opportunity to receive one of 25 Soft Scrub cleaning kits, featuring Soft Scrub with Bleach Cleaner Gel, Soft Scrub Total All Purpose Cleaner with Bleach Spray and the new Soft Scrub Advanced Surface Gel.

"Soft Scrub with Bleach Cleaner Gel is currently a recommended non-abrasive cleaner for Caesarstone surfaces and we are thrilled to raise awareness of our new partnership at KBIS," said Justin Hart, Associate Brand Manager for Soft Scrub. "We look forward to this event as the first of many opportunities for Soft Scrub to work together with Caesarstone."

The first 25 visitors to the booth who join Caesarstone US's online community, Interior Collective, will receive one of the 25 Soft Scrub cleaning kits.

Although Caesarstone requires low maintenance, proper care is needed to ensure the surface maintains its beautiful finish. By using soap or a mild detergent, homeowners can keep their Caesarstone looking beautiful. If needed, apply common, non-abrasive, household cleaners such as Soft Scrub Liquid Gel with Bleach, directly on a damp cloth or sponge and wipe the surface, rinsing thoroughly after cleaning.

Soft Scrub manages a portfolio of cream, gel and spray cleaning products that are tough on stains, gentle on surfaces™. New for 2013 is Soft Scrub Advanced Surface, the rinse-free gel that cleans and polishes granite and marble countertops, stainless sinks and appliances and glass cooktops.
