## About <!--about-->
Ajax Powder Cleanser with Bleach 21 oz is a canister of scouring powder sold in the United States under Ajax, the household-cleaning brand Colgate-Palmolive launched with Ajax Powdered Cleanser in 1947.[^wikipedia] Colgate-Palmolive Company's safety data sheet for Ajax Cleanser with Bleach carries this UPC and describes a formulated powder scouring cleanser that is 85 to 96 per cent calcium carbonate.[^sds] The front of the can reads "Scratch free", "Stronger than dirt" and "Easy rinse formula", with a net weight of 21 oz (595 g).[^offphoto] A US hardware retailer lists the article under manufacturer number 05361 and says it is made in the USA; that retailer data sheet is the source for the country of origin.[^toolbox] The ingredient list is taken from another US retailer's listing, which shows no barcode or size.[^southernstates]

The 2006-2013 Barcodepedia already had a page for this barcode, titled "21OZ Ajax Cleanser", with a description taken from Amazon.com.[^barcodepedia2007]
