Zep® Launches Fume Free Air Fryer & Oven Cleaner for the Modern Kitchen; Now Available Throughout the Midwest at Leading Home Improvement Store Menards

A Breakthrough in Kitchen Cleaning, Zep’s Fume Free Air Fryer & Oven Cleaner Offers an Easy and Biodegradable Cleaning Solution as U.S. Households Continue to Embrace Air Fryers

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Zep®, the go-to cleaning brand for professionals, announces the launch of its Fume Free Air Fryer & Oven Cleaner at Menards® making it accessible to consumers and pros alike. The cutting-edge product is specifically designed to address the cleaning needs of two of the most utilized kitchen appliances: air fryers and ovens. With the growing popularity of air fryers in U.S. households and the perennial use of ovens in daily cooking, Zep's latest solution offers a sustainable, effective way to combat baked-on grease and grime.

Developed in response to the dramatic rise in air fryer use across the United States, Zep's Fume Free Air Fryer & Oven Cleaner is designed to meet the evolving needs of the modern American kitchen. Air fryer sales soared 76% during 2020-2021 and an estimated 60% of U.S. households now own one. Zep responded with a specialized cleaning solution that is both fast and biodegradable. The Fume Free Air Fryer & Oven Cleaner simplifies cleaning these appliances with a quick spray and wipe after use. This makes it a game-changer for busy households, meeting the growing demand for kitchen cleaning products that cater to the convenience and efficiency valued by today's consumers. This formula works effectively in traditional ovens as well.

“The Fume Free Air Fryer & Oven Cleaner reflects a deep understanding of current kitchen trends and the evolving needs of consumers,” said Lauren Houser, Zep Vice President of Marketing. “We recognize that existing cleaning products don't specifically cater to air fryers, highlighting a unique need in the market for a solution tailored to these appliances. We saw an opportunity to create a versatile cleaning solution, specifically to address the surge in air fryer usage.”

Since 1958, Menards has built its reputation on quality, service, and affordability, now with over 300 locations across 15 states. The expansion of its partnership with Zep to carry the new Fume Free Air Fryer & Oven Cleaner, alongside other Zep products, reaffirms Menards' dedication to offering cutting-edge and high-quality cleaning options to its customers.

The Fume Free Air Fryer & Oven Cleaner stands out not only for its fast-acting results but also promises a hassle-free cleaning experience on the toughest kitchen grease and grime, making it ideal for use in homes and professional settings. The product launch expands Zep's comprehensive portfolio, highlighting its commitment to innovation and safety.
