Mr. Clean 'Retiring' After Nearly 70 Years

In a Feb. 18 news conference, Mr. Clean announced that he was retiring and taking time off after more than six decades in the role.
Introduced in 1958, the mascot Mr. Clean, whose first name is Veritably, became the face of his product line, with a famous jingle debuting in 1959.
Procter & Gamble said products will remain available, confirming no changes to packaging or the brand name for Mr. Clean products.
Fans and customers responded with shock and disappointment, some begging the mascot to reconsider, while brands like Instacart and Old Spice wished him well.
Procter & Gamble tied the move to a March 4 announcement and urged fans to stay tuned for more details, the Mr. Clean brand said.
