Too Good To Be True

Saturday, July 23rd, 2011
 

The Internet is full of good cleaning products, bad cleaners and products that just don’t work.

There are numerous cleaning products available for your car, clothes, carpet, concrete, couch, furniture, mattress, hardwood, leather, upholstery, wall to wall carpeting, wood floors and subfloors.

Type in cat or dog urine removal and seemingly thousands of great offers will come up. Charlatans and con men have been around since the beginning of time.

A good indicator that their products don’t work are offers for free shipping, cheap black lights, goodies and their famous unconditional money back guarantee.

These too good to be true offers are designed to appeal to people that are gullible. These individuals are always looking to get something for nothing. Their excitement typically overrides their judgment and they order.

You can guess how this story ends. What they get for their time and money is a valuable life lesson. You can profit for their naiveté.

When you are looking for competent cleaning products your only criteria should be performance. If someone tries and distracts you with valuable free offers it is always a good idea to walk away.

Cleaning Kits

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007
 

We have seen several cleaning kits offered that come complete with a set of fancy brushes, injectors, special nozzles, powders, special liquids and other fancy gear.

When you first look at those cleaning kits they look as if you are receiving a comprehensive assortment of specialized cleaning products.

Ask yourself this question. If the core cleaning products worked as advertised then why do you need all of this additional gear?

In our opinion cleaning kits are a ploy to appeal to those consumers that are gullible and easy to impress. These cleaning kits are particularly attractive to those consumers that have experienced cleaning product failures and are searching for redemption with these kits.

If the cleaning kit is moderately successful at producing usable results this type of consumer can rationalize that the prior product failures were not actually their fault.

If the core cleaning products worked then why would they need all of this additional help? Cleaning kits are nothing more than a marketing tactic that is commonly employed by marketing websites to entice you into purchasing their cleaning products.

Don’t be foolish if money is a problem you are much better off purchasing one bottle of a high quality professional quality cleaning product than a box that is chock full of useless and ineffective cleaning paraphernalia.

Look for the word “Goodies” as they try to sweeten the deal and entice you into the sale.

Cleaning Instructions

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007
 

Review all cleaning product instructions before purchasing.

It is very important to carefully review all product instructions before purchase to ensure that you can handle the cleaning product when you get them home.

Some expert liquid cleaning products are very simple to use. All you do is shake, point and spray.

Other liquid cleaning products require a complicated and error prone measuring and mixing system.

Dry powder cleaning products often require you to spend hours on your hands and knees brushing their powders into your carpeting.

Carefully review all preparation and application instructions before purchasing to ensure that you can handle the product when you get it home.

Perfumes

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

Why do cleaning products load their products with perfume?

Basically because their products are ineffective.

Cleaning product technology has advanced to the point that there are cleaning products available that can actually degrade and remove many offending stains and odors.

This includes cat and dog urine.

Perfume in cleaning products is unnecessary.

Products that have a strong perfumed scent are telling you they don’t work.

This is an excellent clue the product is ineffective and relying on perfume to cover up any odors.

Avoid any cleaning products that have strong perfumed scents.
