WM Barr & Company

<h3>About W.M. Barr &amp; Company</h3><p><strong>W.M. Barr &amp; Company</strong> has been a cornerstone of the home improvement and specialty chemical industry since 1946. <a href="/11231-wm-barr-and-company">Founded in Memphis, Tennessee</a> by William M. Barr, the company's origin story is rooted in a wartime discovery: after witnessing the dangers of flammable paint removers aboard a naval vessel during World War II, William Barr secured the rights to a safer, non-flammable formula and brought it to the consumer market. That commitment to safer, more effective chemistry has guided the brand ever since.</p><h3>A Portfolio Built on Trusted Brand Names</h3><p>Over the decades, W.M. Barr has grown from a single-product paint remover company into one of the most recognized names across multiple home care segments. Today, the company's portfolio spans well-known sub-brands including <strong>Klean-Strip</strong>, <strong>DampRid</strong>, <strong>Mold Armor</strong>, <strong>Goof Off</strong>, <strong>Jasco</strong>, <strong>CitriStrip</strong>, <strong>Bulldog</strong>, and <strong>Spray &amp; Forget</strong> — each designed to tackle a specific challenge in home maintenance, surface preparation, or moisture control.</p><p>W.M. Barr is widely recognized as the largest retail supplier of paint removers, solvents, and thinners in the United States. Their lineup of <strong>solvents, thinners, and paint prep products</strong> under the Klean-Strip and Jasco names are go-to choices for contractors and dedicated DIYers who demand professional-grade results. Whether stripping old finishes, improving paint adhesion, or cleaning up after a project, these formulas are engineered for performance.</p><h3>Moisture Control and Mold Prevention</h3><p>Beyond surface prep, W.M. Barr has established significant expertise in indoor air quality and moisture management. <strong>DampRid</strong> moisture absorbers are designed to remove excess humidity from enclosed spaces — closets, basements, bathrooms, and storage areas — helping prevent the conditions that lead to mold, mildew, and musty odors. Complementing this line, <strong>Mold Armor</strong> products deliver targeted mold and mildew remediation, including exterior cleaning formulas that use a patented hose-end delivery system for bleach-based treatments on decks, siding, and roofs.</p><h3>Serving Professionals and DIYers Alike</h3><p>One of W.M. Barr's greatest strengths is the breadth of its reach. Their products are formulated to work for professional contractors tackling demanding jobs and for everyday homeowners handling weekend projects. The <strong>Bulldog</strong> adhesion promoter line, for example, bridges the gap between automotive refinishing and home improvement, while <strong>Goof Off</strong> has become a household staple for removing adhesives, stickers, tar, and other tough messes from virtually any surface.</p><h3>Employee-Owned and Innovation-Driven</h3><p>Since 1996, W.M. Barr has operated as a 100% employee-owned company (ESOP), a distinction that shapes its culture of accountability and quality. Headquartered in Memphis with multiple manufacturing facilities in the region, the company formulates its products through a blend of chemistry, biology, and technology. This approach drives continuous improvement across categories — from introducing safer solvent formulations to expanding moisture-control and antimicrobial product lines. For anyone working on home improvement projects, automotive refinishing, or ongoing home maintenance, W.M. Barr brands offer proven solutions backed by more than 75 years of expertise.</p>
