[Hero Clean](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hero-bread-crafted-collection) makes a line of high-performance home cleaning products that are specifically formulated and fragranced for men, as well as tested at a [Delta Force](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cool-can) training facility to ensure their efficacy.

In addition to offering solutions for eliminating odors, all-purpose cleaning and keeping one's hands clean, Hero Clean launched [single-use Laundry Pacs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concentrated-laundry-product) in response to an ask from one of its top retail partners. Earlier this year, the entire Hero Clean line underwent a packaging refresh and the new product was quickly added to the assortment as a convenient alternative to its handled laundry detergent bottle.

The cruelty-free laundry product for men is packed with enzymes for stain-fighting and color preservation, plus the brand's signature juniper-based scent.
