Why are so many people giving Clean Boss one-star reviews???!!!

  • Pumpkiness
  • 08.18.21 12:36 AM

I really do not understand all of the negative reviews about the “unbearable odor” of Clean Boss. I think that it has a fresh and clean smell. In addition, it’s a huge improvement over chemical cleaning products, ammonia, and bleach, all of which make me feel sick and nauseous. I have been using Clean Boss for everything under the sun ever since I received it. I think that it’s an amazing product! My shower stall hasn’t looked this clean in years. Mirrors are streak free (and the smell is way better than that of traditional glass cleaners.) I even spot cleaned my carpet and it worked way better than the most common spray carpet cleaner, which literally makes me gag. I am shocked by the one-star reviews. We also should keep in mind that this product kills the coronavirus, and we are still in the midst of a pandemic, what with the new Delta variant (and more variants on the way.) What could be better than a product that cleans well, smells fresh, and disinfects at the same time? I have even freshened shoes with it, as per Joy’s suggestion. I also use it to disinfect my laptop and cell phone. It’s now my go-to cleaning product. I ordered it on auto-ship and am so glad that I did. The price is reasonable for four large bottles. Can anybody explain this aversion to the Clean Boss aroma to me? I just don’t get it.

    I love Clean boss. Her cleaning products are the best. I ignore the negative reviews the are not just & honest. Try & purchase anything even similar to clean boss & it is not 1/2 as good & it is a fortune. LOVE HER NATURAL CLEANING PRODUCTS.

    The World’s Most Powerful Botanical Disinfectant
    Made with state of the art botanical ingredients,

    This is not true!
    CLEAN BOSS CONTAINS NO BOTANICAL INGREDIENTS…ONLY SYNTHETIC PETRO CHEMICAL BASE MIMICS. THATS WHY IT SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE!

    • dr-clean
    • 02.22.25 11:55 PM

    Clean boss is a chemical. The product active thymol is a synthetic petroleum base attempting to mimic thymol found as one of the constituents in thyme oil. The sds of clean boss reflects a synthetic non botanical thymol

    That’s why it has the odor of gasoline. If you’re looking for a authentic Botanical Disinfectant I found one at PreVasive Botanical Disinfectant. Com

    It seems like many people are giving Clean Boss one-star reviews due to issues with its performance and effectiveness. Common complaints include problems with the product’s quality and that it doesn’t work as advertised. Some ask that where temu ships from and some users also mention dissatisfaction with customer service. If you’ve had a different experience or have insights into these issues, sharing your perspective might be helpful for the community.

    Because of the one starred reviews, I was reluctant to try Clean Boss. I assumed this was one of the reasons why Joy left HSN. However, upon her return, I decided to give it a try. Now I cannot be without it. With a husband in rehab and needing physical therapy, I use it on his head and foot board, the mattress, bedside table and all drawers and even the closet. The smell/odor does not affect me or his roommate.

    • brooklyngirl2

    Too bad. I came back for more. I loved the product. Loved the smell,

      • OPALMARIE
      • 03.10.24 3:28 PM

      I was so disappointed to see that this product is no longer available on HSN. Yes, the spray bottle is problematic. I wish Joy would just simply supply refill bottles. It’s beyond easy to purchase an empty spray bottle to pour and use for the refills.

    • deltabo8
    • 10.28.23 3:54 PM

    The product is awful. I got sucked in to buying the 4 bottle package. I now have 4 nearly full bottles of the product because the sprayer on the bottles fell apart. I contacted Clean Boss and they offered to send me 2 new sprayers. I installed those on 2 bottles and withing 4-6 sprays, those fell apart too! Moreover, when I used this on my glass patio doors, stainless appliances, and kitchen countertops, it left a cloudy film with a bad smell. I re-did the cleaning with windex and clorox cleaner and bleach. No rinsing? Yeah, because you have to re-clean the off with other cleaners that smell fresh and clean and actually work. Worst $30 I’ve spent. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS !

    It smells like moth balls, it’s awful.

      • dr-clean
      • 02.23.25 12:44 AM

      You’re right it is not a botanical it is a synthetic botanical nothing botanical in the thymox” clean boss product. This is confirmed by looking at the product safety data sheet, the Cas # is synthetic thymol from petroleum

    • PAULETTE
    • 07.31.22 2:31 PM

    So I understand some people cannot tolerate the smell but how does it match up to other cleaning products? Does it clean as well as state on HSN?

      • OPALMARIE
      • 07.31.22 3:25 PM

      I find that it does a fairly good job of cleaning. It definitely doesn’t eat at the dirt as would a bleach cleaner, like Clorox. However, I do like that I don’t have to grab gloves every time I need to use the product.

    • PugNose

    7th generation has a fraction of the thymol that Joy’s does and yet it is still considered a disinfectant. A faint smell lasts 30 seconds and is gone. When I tried Clean Boss I don’t think I’ve ever smelled anything that horrible. The spray lasted for hours and that was after rinsing it off. It literally smelled like something died in the house. Why Joy doesn’t lessen how much thymol she uses is beyond me. The neg reviews should be a wakeup call.

      • maxmoriz
      • 08.06.22 12:39 AM

      I just tried this product, and as you stated it is horrible, now I am stuck with it since my box is gone. I will not use it, my Husband asked me what I did in the house it smells aweful and this smell stay,s for hours. I am sorry I ordered this product Boss, cant even return it now.

    • tcinaz
    • 03.07.22 7:06 PM

    I am not a fan – I used it for the first time and it’s given me a headache. Can’t seem to get rid of the smell – it’s been hours. The windows are open, the fans are on, and the heat is off…

    I have no problem whatsoever with Clean Boss. I liked the original and I like this version of it. I was fortunate to have purchased many of the original when it was on clearance and at one point it was free shipping. So I used my HSN Card and stocked up, purchased lots and lots. When Covit broke out I had it and used it throughout 2020 and 2021.
    I still have packages of the cleaning clothes and pads along with a mini bottles that came with it.
    I keep a mini bottle in my purse and used it when I am out and about.
    I purchased two sets of the Clean Boss when they had the first time. I used it in the kitchen, another in the bathroom. I spry packages that comes in the mail be opening them. I spry with it on item from the grocery store that can be sprayed and wiped down. I like it.
    But I cook with herbs all the time, lots and lots of herbs. I used it as medicine, not just a tea spoon or tablespoon as a recipe would call for it. I also use Bay leaves, garlic, onions.

    I guess this is either a love it or hate it product. It’s a big no for me, but good for the people that like it. The thing that bothers me is how much of an uproar her previous product caused, major issues for a lot of people and the whole thing was downplayed and hushed up. It’s the lack of transparency and follow-up on the issues that doesn’t sit well with me.
