Ads sometimes claim that a product kills 99.9% of germs.  Why can't they get the other .01%?

Because NOTHING is that freakin strong!

No won't kill more than about 50% - that's what 125 million Americans - that'll kill the property market. 25 million British citizens and 25 million illegals. 200 million Europeans. The Chinese will have a big problem. The pigeons will have a bigger problem. But if you own shares in the company making the anti viral drug they're all stocking up on - good news - you're bloody rich!

I was told by my Biology Professor that hand sanitizer isn't good at all because the 99.9% of germs and bacteria that it kills is the good bacteria that you need but doesn't do anything to the more harmful germs and bacteria because it's not strong enough.

If you need Detailed explanations of the above listed reasons, please feel free to ask me.\nHope this answer helps you.

Haha! I think it's what the marketing departments of those "wonder" pills want us to believe just to increase their sales.  That's why they always say reeeeally fast, "These statements are not proved by the FDA." That's also why the small,white, hard-to-read print onscreen says "Results not typical." After all the hype they say of 'eat what you want and still lose weight', they will add as an afterthought, "All diet plans require a doctor's approval and an exercise program." But nobody hears that part because they're too busy dialing the 800 number to place an order...as they lay on the couch with a bowl of ice cream in their lap.

Call competitors in your market and act like a possible customer and see what they charge. Then you can be competitive. You may also want to ask what type of cleaning chemicals they use. I did this for a number of years and found that I could get a more loyal customer using natural, safe products verses toxic chemical products. It is better for your health and theirs.

I've seen infomercials for a product called "Dual Action Cleanse".  You can find it online as well.  Don't know the price.  Sorry.

There are different levels.\n\n99.9% is called 3-log removal.\n99.99% is called NaCL efficiency\n\nHand sanitizers remove either 99.9 or 99.99% of "common" bateria.\n\nHOWEVER, if you look, you will see that soap does exactly the same thing!

Lead wasn't really used intentionally to kill bacteria, it just did that as a side effect.  Unfortunately, it tended to do the same to humans.  Over the years, we've come up with better means to control bacteria.  The lead in old homes was primarily found in lead water pipes and lead-based paints.  Walls aren't generally very good environments for bacteria anyway, and as the previous poster mentioned, we now put chlorine in tap water, which is more effective than lead at killing bacteria, and less toxic for humans, too.\n\nOverall, people now have better hygiene habits, combined with a previously non-existent knowledge of the extistence of bacteria (and a somewhat irrational fear of them) that leads us to keep our homes rather more bacteria-free than back in the days of lead-based paint and water pipes.

pasteurisation does not attempt to kill all microorganisms. it is a process strictly for food products, where these products are heated above 70 celcius for an extended period to kill MOST common bacteria.\n\nsterilisation can include heating, chemical doping, or radiation, all of which are meant to completely eliminate living things on the object to be sterilised. purposes include surgery, or electronic manufacture.

I belive it is mainly due to the toxins in our enviroments mainly the home. So many personal care products have ingredients and fillers that are bad for you. It weekens the immune system and children have much weaker immune systems.

it's because of the medical legal issue.  All drug manufacturers by law has to disclosed all possible side effects (however rarely they occur) on their advertisements including TV, magazines, etc...

It kills the bacteria, because the germs in the mouth are anaerobic. The peroxide releases oxygen and kills the germs. Usually on contact.

A bad product might be well within legal and health guidelines in another country. Don't blame a company in another country for trying to make money, blame your country's health guidelines for allowing them to sell it.

It literally slows the bacteria that make it spoil down. It also inhibits some chemical processes like oxidation.

Sometimes marketers want consumers to forget if there was bad publicity about their product. For example when I was in high school Tylenol had a scare where someone had put something else in their product, it killed a few people.. bad press.  Then there was the incident in Colorado where the Jack-in-the-Boxes had served hamburgers that ended up with ecoli which killed some people too.  Now if you find a Jack-in-the-Box in Colorado it is something to write home about. Marketers have found there are some things no one forgets and so they stop making that product.
