Ajax (cleaning product) (an all purpose cleaner, a bathroom cleaner, and a window cleaner), well known in Australia and New Zealand, are among market leaders. When Ajax was first released in 1947, the commercial for the product was produced by Shamus Culhane. The original Ajax powder slogan was "Stronger than dirt!", a reference to the muscular hero Ajax of Greek mythology.

The first slogan was used again for Ajax Laundry Detergent when introduced in the beginning
