Headline in a brochure:
Aktionsumsatz, der sich gewaschen hat:
Wäscheprofis im Testpaket!
Because of the nature of the client I'd like to find an expression that keeps with the theme "clean" - laundry, washing, things like that.
Since I' haven't had enough coffee to get my creativity flowing this morning, can anyone think of an appropriate translation?
Thank you!

Laundry list of products
Not knowing what follows, I'm going on the assumption that trial-sized laundry/cleaning products are put together in one bag/box for the consumer to try out, so I'm suggesting something along the lines of "a laundry list of products to try out".

the turnover was a clean sweep all right!
"Aktion" wasn't part of the bit that needed translating, was it?

a total clean out/wash out
an idea..wash out might be a little negative even if the word play is good. I like clean out as well.

I know that Phil, read my explanation please. Anyone with a little imagination could still turn it around and use it in a campaign slogan or, there is the clean out alternative I provided.

It's a whitewash, and then some!!!!
A clean sheet all the way!
A 'whitewash' in the US means really sticking it to the other guy
(e.g., Germany 5, England 0) in the World Cup finale.
