Phoney presentations....will I ever learn!!

I saw a presentation for Instagone multipurpose stain remover.   I thought it would work for my ceiling that has some black (like smut) streaks that came from the florescent lighting.  I don't want to paint.  I got out the ladder and a brush (did not want fall out in my face from spray) and used it several times.  Did not work at all.  Then shower doors and tracks, nothing, then moldy sidewalk, nothing, then plastic hose holder, just left it all streaked so it really needs cleaning now.  Used in my white sink and it did the same as bleach (bleach would be so much cheaper).   I might as well been pouring water on everything.  I mixed and used according to directions and got nothing like the result they showed in demonstation.  I sent it back and WWIII will break out if they charge me for the return for this useless product that did nothing they said it would do.  I think I am mostly mad at myself for falling for these fake presentations.

I'm sorry this didn't work for you.  I just checked Amazon, and this product has a lot of bad reviews.  I always check Amazon's reviews before purchasing a product from anywhere.

I also appeciate that Amazon verifies that you actually bought the product before you can leave a review, unlike Q.

Lol ... I am glad it's not only happening to me ... when they demonstrate it on TV it works so well but, at home it doesn't work at all .... not only this product but most of them .... scrub daddy/mommy & the rest of the "scrub daddy family" don't work for me .. anything I've tried hasn't worked!!!! .... it's just a waste of money & I keep getting fooled.... my bad!!!!

I was actually thinking that today when watching a presentation of QVC for the scrub brush...so many of

these "stains" are just dried mud which comes off easily

with the cleaners or power washers.........or the presentations of thesteam rug cleaners when they JUST that minute put the stain down and of course the machines can suck them up right away......

I agree with others about checking reviews, and I pay really close attention to presentations.  You can often see flaws.

 

Hey, I'm surprised they don't go under water and show how well something like this cleans barnacles off the bottom of a ship.  It's all drama.    You need drama when you are trying to sell something.  That's one of the reasons I've never been in sales - I don't do bs.   But you pretty much have to if you need to sell tens of thousands of items in 12 minutes.  Smiley Happy
