Blem (brand)
Blem was a S. C. Johnson & Son brand of wax furniture refinishing compound introduced in 1955.[1] The original Blem product came in a red toothpaste-type tube with BLEM in white lettering. The product was launched in a give-away special offer with a free tube of Blem packed with a can of Pride polish.[2] The red tube was later switched to yellow toothpaste-tube type packaging with BLEM in dark brown lettering, and the byline "Rubs out scars on furniture permanently". The product had dark and light wood stain variants.
