P&G releasing two new products

[yogitunes]

Marketing is as effective to what works AS appliance designers are to a washing machine...a washing machine designed to do just THAT...wash clothes "effectively"

they promote the idea of thousands of people surveyed......I have never met ONE person who has ever been asked!......

all that is thought is SALES/PROFIT/CAPITAL GAIN in the market, lets create a detergent that smells good, who cares if it works?.......lets create a machine that looks pretty with lots of useless buttons and lights, that has the illussion of super size, and "GREEN" using very little water, BUT effective at truly washing and cleaning a standard load of laundry....NOT HAPPENNING!

When I complained to Frigidaire about my FL not using enough water or being able to adjust the level...Their response was that they were able to wash 4 bath towels with enough water and great cleaning results......BULLSHIT!....I recommended them come to my house and wash a regular load only to see the center of the load never gets wet.........

These people have their head up their ASS....and you won't change my mind otherwise!

Stepping down from my Soap Box!

Consumer Reports not that long ago reported that of the bathroom cleaners they tested, the pine cleaners kept mold from returning for the longest amount of time. According to this Wikipedia article, pine oil is a type of disinfectant, and does have effect againt a variety of household germs, including mold.

I'd say it's quite possible that pine oil is pretty good at dealing with mildew as it probably contains substances from the pine tree that prevent the growth of fungus.

Live trees are very good at keeping all sorts of fungi and lichens under control.

Cannot Abide The Smell of Pine-Sol Type Products

*LOL*

But being as that may anyone seeking to use such for disinfection purposes should look for EPA registered products. The number by law must be printed on the label somewhere and is the only way one can be sure of obtaining a product that will do the job. Many pine products only contain enough oils for scent purposes, and therefore will do nothing in terms of cleaning germs, well nothing more than what can be had by cleaning anyway.

I don't see the need to use a disinfectant unless there's a contagious illness in the house. Regular ole products work just fine and as a matter of fact Bon Ami does a splendid job of cleaning and deodorizing without harshness, but I'm getting off the subject. I'm with you. A person looking to disinfect needs to look for the EPA registered products.
