Dettol is a brand line of products used for disinfection and as an antiseptic. This brand was created with the introduction of Dettol antiseptic liquid in 1933 by the British-Dutch concern Reckitt Benckiser.[1][2] The Dettol brand line has been expanded over the years and now includes products containing many different active ingredients.[3] The name Dettol was invented by British scientist LLoyd Roake.[citation needed]
