Spic and Span Spic and Span all purpose cleaner was invented by two housewives, Elizabeth MacDonald and Naomi Stenglein in Saginaw, Michigan in 1933. They sold the product in brown envelopes to the local markets. From 1933 to 1944 both families ran their Spin and Span Products Company. In 1945 Procter & Gamble bought Spic and Span for $1.9 million.
Today Spic and Span provides products in liquids, powders, packets, and sprays, in concentrated and ready-to-use formulas.
