I really don't understand why people keep poisonous cleaning products in their home after being shown better and safer ones. I have shown couples a bathroom cleaner that is better and safer to use, you can wash your hands in it, and they are amazed. A toilet bowl cleaner that will polish all fixtures safely, you don't need rubber gloves to use this. My neice burned her hand two weeks ago I applied some ointment and while we were talking, all pain ceased, two days later you couldn't tell she had burned herself. This company has Home, Health, and Cleaning products that actually do what they claim, thats amazing isn't it. If you have switched brands of products in these catagories because they didn't live up to the advertising claims, why did you switch back to them after another one failed?? The advertising cost of some home products can be up to 70% of of the retail price. It should make you wonder a little bit about why some companies spend so much on advertising. If you go to the movies because of the advertising blitz and came away disappointed, did you tell people how bad it really was. Most people tell their friends and neighbors, or classmates about a good or bad movie. A  good or bad restaurant. It's called "word of mouth" and it is usually the best form of advertising. That's why customer satisfaction is so important to most GOOD businesses. While some people keep on believing ad campaigns is a mystery to me. There are good reputable companies out there that spend their money on research and development, trying to make a better product. Others spend their money on ads to make you think their product is better. When my two sons were small I found out about these products, got rid of the poison in my house, and took the locks off all the cabinets. The kids could open them easier than me anyway. Explain to me why you have thise things with skull and crossbone warnings, poison control center phone numbers on them. Why are children going to hospitals, or dying from household poisons. Are your children or grandchildren safe from this "accident". WHY NOT!!!!
