Liberta to Launch “Kabi Tornado Premium Chlorine-Based Washing Tub Cleaner” on May 25, 2026

Liberta Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard Market: 4935), a company that distributes products under the concept of “planning joy and making the world more interesting,” announced that its Kabi Tornado brand will launch the chlorine-based washing tub cleaner “Kabi Tornado Premium Chlorine-Based Washing Tub Cleaner” on May 25, 2026, at home centers, drugstores, supermarkets, general merchandise stores, electronics retailers, the Liberta online shop, and e-commerce malls across Japan (*3). Product page: https://liberta-online.jp/shop/products/06006996 Kabi Tornado, a series that includes oxygen-based washing tub cleaners and has surpassed cumulative shipments of 14 million units (*4), is adding a new chlorine-based product to its lineup: “Kabi Tornado Premium Chlorine-Based Washing Tub Cleaner.” Even if you clean your washing tub regularly, odors and mold may quickly return. This may be caused by mold and dirt that have gradually accumulated and become stubborn over time. For resetting this kind of built-up grime, the company recommends a chlorine-based washing tub cleaner that dissolves stubborn dirt hidden deep inside the washing tub and resets it from the source (*2). The product was developed under the supervision of the Japan Washing Machine Cleaning Association, a professional organization specializing in washing tub cleaning, and is designed to deliver thorough cleaning with a high-concentration detergent at a professional-use level. After repeated effectiveness testing, Liberta adopted an overnight soaking method of approximately eight hours to maximize cleaning performance. By allowing the formula to penetrate slowly over time, it disinfects 99.9% of bacteria inside the washing tub (*5) and dissolves stubborn accumulated grime that cannot be fully removed in a short cleaning cycle, recreating a cleaning power comparable to that of professionals (*1, *2). Liberta recommends using an oxygen-based washing tub cleaner regularly for easy cleaning without soaking, while incorporating this professional-level overnight soaking wash once every six months. Used before bedtime, the cleaning process is complete by the next morning, helping maintain a cleaner laundry environment. Key points: 1. Professional-supervised chlorine-based cleaner: Uses a formula based on professional detergents used in washing tub cleaning sites, recreating a level of cleaning power comparable to professionals (*1, *2). 2. Highest chlorine concentration level in Liberta history (*6): High-level chlorine concentration breaks down mold from the root and disinfects 99.9% of bacteria (*5). 3. Overnight soaking reset (*2): Penetrates into bacteria inside the washing tub and dissolves strongly accumulated grime (*2).
