I was approached today (03 June 09), by a door to door saleperson about this "wonderful" cleaning product that was perfect for a family with a small child and dog. He went on to say that even if ingested, it would not be harmful. I was definitely interested. He then began his song and dance... He first spayed the product on my glass storm door and showed me that little fingers wouldn't leave prints after cleaning it, nor would the dog's drool. He then sprayed it on the brass light on the porch and explained it could even clean and polish it with just one product instead of a brass cleaner and polisher. He took out his pen and scribbled on a rag in his hand and showed how it came off so quickly and easily. I was convinced. So I told him I would purchase the smaller bottle. He said unfortunately he had "sold out" out of the small ones and only had the 1 Gallon left. I was a little hesitant, but the demonstration was so convincing I purchased it ($73.50). Shortly after he left, I went in the house to try out my new and improved cleaner....I couldn't be more WRONG. It it absolutely nothing that he showed me. I even tried it without diluting it, as he told me to do. It certainly didn't work like the product he had demonstrating on my front steps. I went back outside to see if he was still in the neighborhood doing his door to door sales pitch. I found him, but he would not acknowledge me. I would like to say, I was able to one up this lying scam artist..... I contacted my bank and but an immediate stop-payment on the check. Let's see who gets the last laugh now! He sold me a product that is crap and once the sale was made, he was off to the next gulible parent. I eagerly anticipating the telephone call I receive when the check doesn't clear.

3-day money back gauruntee
AUTHOR: Ashley - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, June 04, 2009
Their website also has a 3-day money back guarantee with a number to call. if I were you I would get rid of this cleaner ASAP. The active ingredient is 2-Butoxyethanol.
It is recommended that one use precautions when working with glycol ethers such as 2-butoxyethanol. Employers are required by United States federal law to inform employees when they are working with these substances.[1]
Some animal studies indicate that it produces reproductive problems, such as reduced fertility, death of embryos and birth defects.[2] People exposed to high levels of 2-butoxyethanol for several hours have reported nose and eye irritation, headaches, vomiting and a metallic taste in their mouths. In addition to inhaling 2-butoxyethanol vapor, research has shown that skin can also absorb 2-butoxyethanol vapor from the air, making skin a major pathway of exposure to this chemical.
2-Butoxyethanol is frequently found in popular cleaning products. It is difficult for consumers to know whether their favorite cleaner contains the chemical because manufacturers are not required to list it on the label.
This compound is on California's list of hazardous substances, though it was removed from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency?'s list of hazardous air pollutants in 1994.
In recent years 2-butoxyethanol has come under increased scrutiny in Canada, and Environment and Health Canada has recommended that it be added to Schedule 1 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA).
William Nazaroff, a professor of environmental engineering and chairman of the Energy and Resources Group at UC Berkeley, has argued that EGBE should have remained on the federal contaminants list, and concluded in a study that the use of some common household cleaning products containing EGBE could expose people to levels 12 times greater than California's one-hour guideline, especially when indoor use is considered. These products are not required to list it on the label when diluted to a certain point. The safety of the products is defended by the American Chemistry Council and the Soap and Detergent Association, industry trade groups.
