Tackling America's Most Epic Messes With Ultra Clean!

OAKLAND, Calif., May 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Coffee spills, microwave splatters and muddy pawprints. Messes are an inevitable part of everyday life. In celebration of National Clean Your Room Day, today, and the launch of new Clorox™ Ultra Clean Disinfecting Wipes, The Clorox brand is launching its #UltraMess contest. For the next month, people can share true stories of their biggest, recent messes on Twitter by including @Clorox and #UltraMess #Contest in the post for a chance to win $10,000.

Taking inspiration from some of America's funniest, viral mess stories, the Clorox brand delighted these lucky mess-makers with over-the-top surprises and a year's supply of Ultra Clean wipes to help prevent future mishaps and keep their transformed spaces clean and disinfected.    

Meet the Viral Mess-Maker Sensations:

Bath Bomb Explosion
Based in New York, the Madden family shocked and amused friends when they shared a picture of their kids' explosive bath bomb experiment across social media. To keep the kids' sense of curiosity alive without requiring major clean-up duty from their parents, Clorox surprised the Maddens with a designated, indoor playground, complete with a walking bridge, chalkboard, climbing rocks and engaging toys for endless entertainment. For the countless clean-ups the parents have endured, Clorox gifted them with a much-needed paid vacation.

Muddy Paws Break Free
In Arkansas, a bulldog named Rose had an ultra-messy moment when she was caught on camera running through the house after taking a mud bath outside. After seeing this disastrously muddy video, and her viral mud bath before entry with nearly 100,000 retweets and over 300,000 likes, Clorox surprised the bulldog and her owner by turning their backyard into the ultimate doggy oasis, complete with a custom-built dog house, a canine cabana, personalized dog beds and an array of toys for some good, clean fun. The owner also received a spa package to enjoy a day of pampering – and perhaps a mud mask!
