    Legislation is about to be extended in the next few months on unsolicited mail and cold calling to include things like kleeneze and betterware due to the amount of complaints nationwide about reps from companies such as these.


    I have friends who do Kleeneze and would also appreciate a link to back this up. Forewarned being forearmed and all that!

    I have heard from another source that Findel are in the process of carving up the company and binning or selling certain elements and just retaining Express Gifts and it's educational supplies division. Could just be a rumour tho', although their shares aren't looking too clever at the moment.

    I have a certain amount of interest as I used to be a Kleeneze agent.

    Crikey Maz where are you hearing that? Findel have not long since taken them over and moved the entire operation up to Accrington, at what I would imagine was a great cost. (ok i know this was in the last 3 or 4 years, but it's not a long time really)

    I notice that Nexxus has gone quiet since being asked to provide evidence of his statement that catalogue distribution is to become illegal after the summer. Now isn't that interesting?

    Been there done that........we did kleeneze for over 2 years, my ex husband did give up his job and do it full time......but its one hell of a lot of work for not a lot of return, please do not be sucked in listening to all these people who earn fantastic amounts of money...they have been in it either a long time, or are close to one of the founder high earners who now boost their business!!!

    I think its ok for a bit of pin money, but thats it and you will get influxes of distributors in one area, usually when one of the big guns does some kind of advertising most of these come and go again, but it is disheartening and does annoy potential customers. My advice is unless your doing it for just a bit of pin money dont bother!

    In the interests of balance this is a link to a number of testimonials from people who have made Kleeneze work for them. Notice that they have made it work for them. Those who didn't succeed make excuses for not succeeding those who succeed give whatever it takes to make it work!

    "Ihate Kleeneze and Betterware.

    Kleeneze I hate for the very personal reason that shortly before my 21st birthday, my mum said to me that she didn't have money to anything for my 21st as she had used the money she'd saved up for it to buy into Kleeneze!
    THey take adavantage of people desperately trying to ind some extra cash - it costs so much to buy into it that it takes ages to break even. My mother never did recoup the money she spent buying into the sodding thing anyway. It's as bad as pyramid schemes.
    DP throws the catalogues away - he hates clutter and junk mail - we don't want the catalogue, and we have no obligation to keep it cluttering the house so the distributer can collect it. Doesn't help that our one is rude and let a nasty note the first ever time he wanted a catalogue back."

    You listened far too much to there selling techniques stand back and get a grip

    it's a classic MLM / pyramid scheme - The Kleeneeze videos only highlight the major earners, the Kleeneeze guys on here only highlight the major earners. The only way to make money is to have people under you
