Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income TaxesIncome taxes are recorded in our quarterly financial statements based on our estimated annual effective income tax rate, subject to adjustments for discrete events, should they occur. The effective tax rates were 24.7% and 25.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  The effective tax rates were 25.2% and 26.6% for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 versus the prior year period was primarily related to a discrete item arising from the sale of our Household Cleaning segment in July 2018.In the second quarter of 2020, we revised the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to correct an error in the disclosed amount of income taxes paid in the six months ended September 30, 2018. The correction increased income taxes paid in the nine months ended December 31, 2018 from the previously reported amount of $19.1 million to $24.4 million. We have evaluated the impact of this error and determined it is not material to the previously issued financial statements.
