In response to the conventional notion that a sponge is used with dishwashing detergent, Kao CuCute Clear foam spray aims to create a new market with the new concept of "spraying away residue from places a sponge cannot reach." The concept has appealed to consumers in Japan and over 4.2 million bottles were sold between October 2016 and March 2017, twice Kao's original sales target for the product.
Scope
– Consumers in Japan generally do not enjoy cleaning at home, and offering a new benefit in dishwashing appeals to performance-driven consumers in the country.

– Innovative household cleaning products offering time-saving benefits have opportunities, as consumers are prepared to pay more for household cleaning products with these benefits.
