Cleaning Tools, Does Color Really Matter?

CrazyKittyLvr2 — Sun, 09 Feb 2020 15:17:13 GMT

DD and I watched a presentation of a 4 piece microfiber dusting set. They went thru colors.

I get color preference in small appliances especially if they set out on the counter. Dishes, decorative items color choice makes sense.

I don't dust when people are here and otherwise it's in a closet. I don't care about color but whether it works or not.

How important is color to you in items like this?

The color of cleaning items doesn't really matter to me, but I do like having a choice. Like you say, I am not going to be cleaning when I have company.

I know someone with OCD, and I can see her having to have specific colors.

Not that everyone who wants a certain color has OCD at all, she just came to mind.

Not at all. There is no need to offer a variety of colors in many of the things QVC sells. For example: Garden Hose Nozzles. Does anyone care what color I water my flowers with? There are many more examples, can't think of any off the top of my head.

Once I know I need/want a new cleaning tool. finding it in a color that makes me feel good is a happy accident. I wouldn't go in search of a particular color, but I like having choices.

Behind the doors and in the drawers of my home,not much matches except what's likely to be used all at the same time. Dishes and flatwear do match, but I don't much care if storage containers do.

I know I have friends who think differently -- makes me understand why QVC continues to make a big deal about various colors and patterns.

Color choices are are appealing and fun. No big deal but it can invigorate a sale. It doesn't bother me in the least. Viva la difference.

If it wasn't for a multitude of colors how would David fill time? After all, doing colors is a very integral and exceedingly important part of his presentations...can cha tell?

It doesn't matter to me at all, it's just a sales gimmick.

Color isn't important to me for things like that. The cleaning lady and I are the only ones who will see them. However, I do have a color story in my home. If my colors are available, I would buy by colors. I'm not going to choose purple tools when red, black or white are available. I will take any color if "my" colors are sold out.

I'll choose my favorite of whatever is available, but no it does not matter.

It matters to me, as my choices are always red and black.

Not interested in any shade of blue, green, orange, purple or white.

It is funny when you think about it! It usually really doesn't matter. However for some (like me) certain colors make me feel better when doing a chore that I don't really feel like doing.

Plus it looks nice when things coordinate even if I'm the only one who is looking into my broom closet, etc.

No. The color doesn't matter. I'd have preferred they skip the six buck shipping cost on a couple of light-weight microfiber dusters but since they didn't, I didn't order.

I like to have a color choice "just because". It makes me smile that I have pink, blue or whatever as I'm cleaning.

It matters to me...I don't like to clean so I use a color I like to get the job done.

I dislike cleaning and no color is going to make me like it. It could be encrusted with diamonds. lol

Yes, color matters to me because I use specific colors to clean different areas of my house. For example, my bathroom cleaning tools and towels are yellow...my kitchen cleaning towels are blue. For me it's about preventing cross-contamination. Dusters not so much.

I'll buy anything if it comes in turquoise.

I always find it amusing in a sort of light-hearted way, that they offer different colors in these utilitarian objects. I can't really explain why, but when David earnestly launches into his color recitations, it seems sort of endearingly innocent and cute.

Harmless fun, and I think @LizzieInSRQ , you are really on to something with the idea of it stimulating sales...

Color choice can encourage you to move you one step closer to buying the product.

The idea is that it opens a dialogue in your head about the product: which color would I choose if I were to buy it?

You think to yourself: Ok hypothetically, I would pick the blue one.

Now your potential purchase has actually advanced a little because you’ve taken a moment to actually think about buying the product and how it would fit in your life. You’ve made a personalized connection and decision. The blue one is ‘yours’.

Maybe you just go on to dismiss the idea altogether but maybe your interest has been piqued because you’ve now made a connection to the blue one in your brain. That’s the one for me. You can picture it in your home.

Sometimes that little push can be enough to get you over the hump and make the sale.
