Dettol Wipes

[ouibonjour]

Is it just me, or does anyone else find the Dettol Wipes ad. disgusting? A DOG on a table is bad enough - but licking a BABIES high chair? Yuk!

[EDDIE51]

It is intended that way.The idea is to sell you the wipes so you can make such places clean and hygienic again.

[anotheoldgit]

They only claim to kill 99% of known germs, what about the other other 1%? Yuk.

[rowanwitch]

But it's what dogs do

[ummmm]

People let dogs lick their face.

[rowanwitch]

And worse

[ummmm]

Lol....I'm not even going to think about that.

[rowanwitch]

Dont

[-SharonA-]

This is very off putting. I hate see folks kissing and slobbering over dogs. Yuk!

[ouibonjour]

I realise that Eddie51, but I would sooner burn the furniture than let my family eat where a dog had licked, after it had licked its backside, had its nose on other dogs "wee puddles" and who knows what else. And as for licking peoples faces, thats just beyond words.

[spathiphyllum]

I totally agree, i do not see how dog owners let their dogs lick their face or mouth. The dog does not want "kisses" it wants to taste your sweaty salt .

[wolf63]

It's what dogs do.

[AuntLydia]

I think the whole point of the ad is to disgust, then buy their product. Think it may have backfired though.

[spathiphyllum]

They can do that, it's fine for them to do it, it's not OK for a human to let them do it to them.

Dogs also hump legs, do you just allow it because it's what they do? No you train them. Which is why they poo outside else they'd poop on ur floor.

I wouldn't use them, you'll just wreck your immune system whilst being over cleanly, poisoning yourself with all the chemicals you eat off said sparkling surface. Not a great idea to let animals lick food surfaces or your mouth however washing things in a dishwasher is perfectly healthy we don't need everything sterilising all the time.
I have five dogs, I'm never ill, neither are any of my doggy friends, usually our friends who catch everything going are the Dettol mob.

[spathiphyllum]

bit OTT lol if i dropped raw chicken on the side i'd use a detol wipe or if a dog pooed on the floor i'd use a detol wipe if i got mud on my hand, i'd either rub it on my trousers or wash it off with just water

[Butterbun]

I find soap and water much better for cleaning surfaces. etc

[retrocop]

I can't see Dettol sponsoring this site any time soon. :-)

[AuntLydia]

I am immune-suppressed so have to be careful with infection. I use antibacterial spray on surfaces and wash my hands before I eat I'd rather take a chance of being poisoned by a spray that's been tested for toxicity than land up in Intensive care with a serious bacterial infection.

[kvalidir]

Well that's fair enough AL, and I normally do the same because that's just normal hygiene, but there is a proper hysteria about EVERYTHING being sterile, kids aren't supposed to get dirty etc etc etc, I just think it's really detatching us from normal behaviour sometimes x

[hc4361]

I find the ad that shows the woman wiping down the baby chair and surfaces with raw chicken even more disgusting
