OzKleen offers clean funds to mums and bubs

Allergy-friendly cleaning product manufacturer OzKleen Asia Pacific is offering any Playgroup NSW affiliated playgroup based in metropolitan, regional or rural New South Wales the chance to receive product packs, including Australia's number-one seller Shower Power.

With each pack worth $325, playgroups can sell products contained in the packs to raise money either for themselves or for other worthwhile community projects.

There is no limit as to how many playgroups can receive these packs and OzKleen will consider additional giveaways if particular playgroups achieve beneficial results.

Allergy, child and environmentally friendly, all products contained within the pack are developed, manufactured and packaged in Australia, are 100 per cent biodegradable and free from chlorine, ammonia, phosphates and other toxic fumes.

The packs contain the full range of OzKleen products including x8 Shower Power 750 ml, x8 Shower Power Pine 750ml, x8 Shower Power Trigger 500ml, x8 Shower Power Pine Trigger 500ml, x8 Carpet Power 500ml trigger, x6 Grease Monkey Trigger 225ml, x8 Prewash Power Trigger 375ml and x9 Power Wipe 24's.

OzKleen's Managing Director said OzKleen had opted to do this giveaway because he believed playgroups provided the perfect environment for children and families to interact.

"Rather than handing our advertising dollars over to radio and TV stations, we thought we would experiment with this grassroots style campaign that hopefully promotes our products via word-of-mouth, while at the same time supporting a worthwhile cause." Mr Quinn said.

"We're a family-owned and run business, so it suits our philosophy."

Playgroup NSW Chief Executive Deb Ryan said she congratulated OzKleen for its initiative to offer its support to the 1200 playgroups throughout the state.

"Both in the city and the country, playgroups provide an excellent place for families to connect with the community." Ms Ryan said.

"Playgroups rely on volunteers to operate and we are hoping that the packs provided by OzKleen will help playgroups raise money so that they can purchase new toys, go on excursions, put funds back into other worthwhile community projects, or even pay for a cleaner to help out a new mum."

To enter, playgroups need to complete the application form which can be downloaded at www.playgroupnsw.com.au and post it by March 20, 2007 to OzKleen Playgroup NSW Fundraiser, PO Box 6665 Wetherill Park DC 1851 or email answers to admin@playgroupnsw.com.au.

OzKleen became a global player after the launch of its flagship product, Shower Power, which has been the number-one selling product in Australian supermarkets in the "household cleaner" category since 1997. The company has since gone on to produce other successful products, Shower Power Pine, Kitchen Power, Carpet Power, Prewash Power, Grease Monkey and more recently Power Wipes. All OzKleen products are suitable for use in biocycles and septic systems.
