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

  • Pumpkiness

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 like the smell of Clean Boss, I had no problem with the original either. I do like Thyme the herb, and I use it in most of my cooking. It’s a powerful herb, I like Cilantro too! Today my husband went to the supermarket after his work and got frozen items in bags. Along with other items in closed packages. I sprayed everything down in the sink allow to sit for a few minutes then rinsed everything off before putting it away into the freezer.

      Clean boss is a synthetic botanical no batural botanical in it what so ever!

      PreVasive Botanical Disinfectant. Com
      It’s a natural Authentic disinfectant cleaner that is a true botanical and has a great fragrance 100 percent botanical
      I tried it and wow!

    While I do not love the smell of Clean Boss, I definitely prefer it to the smell of bleach and bleach-based products. I wonder if the same people who give Clean Boss a 1 star review would do the same for these products? Yesterday, I used clorox all purpose cleaner and had to leave my windows opened and run my air purifier to get rid of the smell and fumes.

      Why not try a true authentic Botanical Disinfectant Cleaner Not a synthetic thymol from petroleum

      The only Authentic EPA registered true Botanical Disinfectant Cleaner
      Ever registered and recently so
      With an Amazing fragrance urilizing a symphony of synergistic whole plant distilled essential oils .

      It matters, it really does!

      Nature provides whole essential oils as balanced, adaptive solutions for microbial defense. Isolating one component, such as thymol syntheticlly derived from petroleum removes the full spectrum of benefits, potentially reducing effectiveness and increasing the risk of microbial resistance.

      The only true Botanical Disinfectant Cleaner is PreVasive Botanical Disinfectant.com

      I personally don’t have a problem with the scent of bleach.

      Besides, that’s been on the shelves for decades.

      Couldn’t even find it on the shelves when Covid first hit. So that speaks to how alot of people feel about the product.

      But if Joy’s product is better suited for you, great.

      Thank goodness we have enough options where we can find what we prefer.

      It so weird how some people seem to take it personal that Clean Boss, is not a hit amongst the majority.

      At least you won’t have to worry about it selling out- you can purchase as much as you want.

      OPALMARIE, I would imagine they would. I grew up with a mom who used bleach. My grandmother used PineSol. Both made me want to gag. I also used Seventh Generation disinfectant during the initial stages of COVID when other cleaners like Lysol were absent from the shelves. That has Thymol in it as well, though not as much as Clean Boss. I didn’t like the strong, pungent scent of it either.

      I think we are all looking for cleaners that are safe, yet don’t make us want to run for the hills or worry about our nose hairs being singed after use. Is that really asking too much?

      People also have allergies to other chemicals. At no time was any other ingredient mentioned besides Thymol. The “other” 99.77% are not listed on the bottle. They are not listed on the product page. I have a problem with that more than the scent. Honesty and truth in adverstising are important. Here is a list of the other 99.77% of the chemicals I was able to find. It comes from the Clean Boss website. https://www.cleanboss.co/pages/cleanboss-disinfectant-ingredients-disclosure-list

      TADY – Our parents and grandparents had the same mindset regarding cleaning. Kill the germs while nearly killing your children as the same time. It wasn’t until COVID, that I even used bleach products. I detest the smell. I think we all can agree that we want a cleaner that makes us feel safe from germs/bacteria/virus, etc., but doesn’t make us want to leave our homes. Honestly, I haven’t found that product yet, but I can tolerate Clean Boss. Hopefully one day, Joy or someone invents a product with ingredients that do not trigger allergies, disinfects and smells mildly of lavender, lemon or vanilla,

    I would imagine for the same reasons that Miracle Clean had a lot of negative reviews. The formula is the same. The majority do not like the scent of the Thymol. It is strong and very pungent. If anyone is thinking of trying this, I would suggest opening up a bottle of original Listerine (amber bottle) or Seventh Generation disinfectant cleaner first. They both have Thymol. If you love it and it doesn’t bother you, then have at it and clean like there is no tomorrow.

      Thymol is a synthetic botanical from petroleum
      It has the odor of a strong gasoline of course

    • Skingirl13

    You don’t understand?

    Do you understand that some people don’t like caviar, open toe shoes , 5 inch heels, deep dish pizza, thin crust pizza, sushi, squid, basil, cilantro?

    It’s an individual choice!

    When the vast majority review a product negatively, should they be talked out of their own experience?

    How do you talk someone into agreeing that a scent they find repulsive, is actually great?

    Do you, and allow others the same.

      I agree with you. do not shame someone for there opinion. Some people fail to realize what one person like or don’t like that is their right to express it. If a person like something just state what you like about it period
