Fifty years ago, in a small hall on Levanda Street in Tel Aviv, Bruno Landsberg set up a small cleaning factory. The factory employed three employees who created the first two products of the company – mothballs against moths in cellophane bags and a product for cleaning toilets in a pink, sealed plastic bottle. Bruno named the toilet product “Sano” – a Latin name that means “clean”, and which derived from the saying “Mens sana in corpore sano,” which means “a healthy soul in a healthy body”. The product was very successful and its catchy name became the brand that all the company’s products currently bear.
