For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the Corporations Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December31,2008. In accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 165, Subsequent Events, management has evaluated events occurring subsequent to June 30, 2009 through August 7, 2009, the date of filing the Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission, to determine if any such events should either be recognized or disclosed in these condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. New Accounting Standards Effective January 1, 2009, the Corporation adopted FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities, as required.The FSP specifies that certain share-based payment awards thatare entitled to nonforfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities, which must be included in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share under the two-class method prescribed in SFASNo.128, Earnings per Share. Under the two-class method, earnings per share is computed by allocating net income between common stockholders and participating securities. In accordance with the FSP, the Corporations basic and diluted earnings per share amounts have been recast from amounts previously reported as follows: As Previously Reported As Recast Basic Diluted Basic Diluted 2008: First Quarter $ 1.05 $ 1.04 $ 1.05 $ 1.04 Second Quarter 1.00 0.99 0.99 0.99 Six Months 2.05 2.04 2.04 2.03 Third Quarter 1.00 0.99 0.99 0.99 Fourth Quarter 1.01 1.01 1.01 1.01 Full Year 4.06 4.04 4.04 4.03 2007 4.13 4.09 4.11 4.08 2006 3.27 3.25 3.26 3.24 Effective June 30, 2009, the Corporation adopted FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.Therequired additional disclosures are included in Note 2.

| Fair Value Measurements | |
| Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | Note 2.Fair Value Measurements The following information is presented in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157).SFAS157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.The three levels in the hierarchy used to measure fair value are: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets accessible at the reporting date for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.Quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not considered active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are significant to the valuation and are unobservable. A financial instruments level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Set forth below are the assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis at fair value as of June 30, 2009, together with the inputs used to develop those fair value measurements.The Corporation has no assets or liabilities for which fair value was measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs. Fair Value Measurements (Millions of dollars) June 30, 2009 Level 1 Level 2 Assets Company-owned life insurance (COLI) $ 40 $ - $ 40 Available-for-sale securities 11 11 - Derivatives 75 - 75 Total $ 126 $ 11 $ 115 Liabilities Derivatives $ 150 $ - $ 150 The COLI policies are a source of funding primarily for the Corporations nonqualified employee benefits and are included in other assets.Available-for-sale securities are included in other assets.The derivative assets and liabilities are included in other current assets, other assets, accrued expenses and other liabilities, as appropriate. Level 1 Fair Values - The fair values of available-for-sale securities are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets.Unrealized losses on these securities aggregating $6million have been recorded in other comprehensive income until realized.The unrealized losses have not been recognized in earnings because the Corporation has both the intent and ability to hold the securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery of fair value to the cost of such securities. Level 2 Fair Values - The fair value of the COLI policies is derived from investments in a mix of money market, fixed income and equity funds managed by unrelated fund managers.The fair values of derivatives used to manage interest rate risk and commodity price risk are based on LIBOR rates and interest rate swap curves and NYMEX price quotations, respectively.The fair value of hedging instruments used to manage foreign currency risk is based on quotations of spot currency rates and forward points, whi |

| Stockholders' Equity | |
| Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure [Text Block] | Note7.Stockholders Equity Effective January 1, 2009, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160), as required. SFAS 160 changes the classification of noncontrolling interests (formerly, minority owners interest in subsidiaries) in consolidated balance sheets and the accounting for and reporting of transactions between the reporting entity and holders of such noncontrolling interests.Under SFAS 160: Noncontrolling interests are reported as an element of consolidated equity, thereby eliminating the prior practice of classifying minority owners interests within a mezzanine section of the balance sheet. Reported net income includes the total income of all consolidated subsidiaries, with separate disclosure on the face of the income statement of the split of net income between the controlling and noncontrolling interests. Increases and decreases in the noncontrolling ownership interest amount are accounted for as equity transactions.If the controlling interest loses control and deconsolidates a subsidiary, full gain or loss on the transition is recognized. Adoption of SFAS 160 is prospective; however, prior year amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements have been recast to conform to the following requirements of SFAS 160: Noncontrolling interests, which are not redeemable at the option of the noncontrolling interests, were reclassified from the mezzanine to equity, separate from the parents stockholders equity, in the consolidated balance sheet.Common securities, redeemable at the option of the noncontrolling interest, carried at redemption value of approximately $35million are classified in a line item combined with redeemable preferred securities of subsidiary in the consolidated balance sheet. Consolidated net income was recast to include net income attributable to both controlling and noncontrolling interests. Set forth below is a reconciliation of comprehensive income and stockholders equity attributable to Kimberly-Clark Corporation and noncontrolling interests for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.Also reconciled for the same periods are the redeemable preferred and common securities of subsidiaries, which are required to be classified outside of stockholders equity.

| Risk Management | |
| Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 8.Risk Management As a multinational enterprise, the Corporation is exposed to risks, such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices and certain investments in its defined benefit pension plans.A variety of practices is employed to manage these risks, including operating and financing activities and, where deemed appropriate, the use of derivative instruments.On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Corporation formally designates certain derivatives either as cash flow, fair value or net investment hedges (each discussed below), including how the effectiveness of these hedges will be assessed and measured.This process links the derivatives to the transactions or financial balances they are hedging.Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recorded to earnings when they occur. The Corporations policies allow the use of derivatives for risk management purposes and prohibit their use for speculation.The Corporations policies also prohibit the use of any leveraged derivative instrument.Foreign currency derivative instruments, interest rate swaps and natural gas hedging contracts are entered into with major financial institutions. Foreign Currency Exchange Risk Management The Corporation has a centralized U.S. dollar functional currency international treasury operation (In-House Bank) that manages foreign currency exchange risks by netting exposures on a daily basis of recorded assets and liabilities of its non-U.S. dollar exposures and entering into derivative instruments with third parties whenever the net exposure in any single currency exceeds predetermined limits.These derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments.Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in earnings when they occur.The In-House Bank also records the gain or loss on the translation of its non-U.S. dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities in earnings.Consequently, the effect on earnings from the use of these non-designated derivatives is substantially neutralized by the recorded transactional gains and losses.The In-House Banks daily notional derivative positions with third parties averaged approximately $1.2 billion in the first six months of 2009 and its average net exposure for the period was $1.0 billion.The In-House Bank used eight counterparties for its foreign exchange derivative contracts. The Corporation enters into derivative instruments to hedge a portion of the foreign currency exposures of its non-U.S. operations principally for their forecasted purchases of pulp, which are priced in U.S. dollars.The derivative instruments used to manage these exposures are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges.The Corporation also hedges a portion of the foreign currency exposures of its non-U.S. operations for imported intercompany finished goods priced in U.S. dollars and euros through the use of derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges.Gains and losses on these cash flow hedges, to the extent effective, are recorded in other comprehensive income net of related income taxes an |
