When we first started creating premium cleaning products in 2008 (!) We knew we wanted to be different. Our amber bottles and premium signature fragrances set us apart from our competition.
But we also had a distinctive brand "voice." Murchison-Hume was like a hip and knowing Aunt or Uncle, serving up practical products with a wink. We had cheeky names for our products, too. Our classic apothecary labels bore names like "Counter Intelligence" (All-Purpose Cleaner) and "Spit & Polish" (Stainless Steel cleaner). You get the idea.
As our business grew, we migrated to the States, but in a faster-moving American market, these non-SEO-friendly names caused a lot of confusion. "Can I use the Boys' Bathroom in the Girl's Bathroom?" and so on. We Americans tend to be very literal. So, to clarify things, we thought it might be useful to help our OG, faithful customers find their favorite products, we made a guide.
