DALLAS, April 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Nothing leaves you feeling cleaner and fresher than Cottonelle Ultra Comfort Care Toilet Paper and Cottonelle Fresh Care Flushable Wipes[1]. That's why the Cottonelle brand is helping people rethink their bathroom routines by inviting North Americans to try toilet paper and flushable wipes together to experience a clean so fresh that everyone will be inspired to name it.

At this year's Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS), the Cottonelle brand will preview this enhanced clean routine among a group of people who are always looking for bathroom improvements at the "Cottonelle Care Lounge: Relax, Refresh, Recharge – You Name It!" in Chicago April 24 - 26. Host of HGTV's Cash & Cari and Estate Sale Guru Cari Cucksey has teamed up with the brand to kick off the Name It conversation at KBIS.

"I've always enjoyed helping people discover hidden treasures. So I was excited to partner with Cottonelle to inspire people to try one of my bathroom secrets – using Cottonelle Fresh Care Flushable Wipes together with Cottonelle Ultra Comfort Care Toilet Paper to bring on a whole new level of freshness," says Cucksey. "I call this combination 'Ready Fresh Go.' What will you name it?"
