1001 Carpet Cleaner - bottle, c1965?
"1001 cleans a big, big carpet for less than half-a-crown". Yes, if you know that jingle, like me, you're possibly now showing your age! A glass bottle that still contains some of the cleaner that was very popular back in my Lancashire childhood of the 1960s.
The brand '1001' is still going strong and is now part of the WD-40 company. It was first produced by P.C. Products (1001) Ltd back in the 1940s and was for many years owned by the well-known Cussons Group who had themselves been acquired by Paterson Zochonis in 1975. They sold the brand on in the 1990s. As for P.C. Products - this bottle has a Swinton, Manchester, address on although I think at one time they traded from Bradford in W Yorkshire. Did they move west of the Pennines as part of Manchester based Cussons I wonder?
