Manufacturers put a substance called "sizing" on their clothes so they "wear" better on the stores' shelf or rack. This stuff, IIRC, was just a way of putting sizing back into the fabric.

BTW, was that Burt or Ernie wearing that can?

The voice sounded like that of Jim Henson himself (Ernie, Guy Smiley, Kermit the Frog, Fozzie Bear).

I'd like to see a face off between Sir Linit and the Ajax White Knight.

Only if Mr. Clean can be the referee.
