    If he is prepared to work blooming hard at it, and get people in underneath him(which is never easy) then go for it. However Kleeneze is really just a complex pyramid scheme (they prefer the term multi-level marketing) though. He might make a couple of quid here and there but to be honest its hit and miss. I tried it for 18 months, cataloguing like a mad woman, trying to get people in under me but in the end it was soul destroying. I wouldn't recommend it.

    hi i do Kleeneze and have done for nearly 2 years now, it is hard work at times but is worth the effort, I do it part time around my job working nights and it is totally flexable like that. Dont let the person who is trying to sponsor push you into it take you time in making your mind up. Hope this helps if you want any further info or advise just pm me

    Many thanks for all the replies. My OH has decided to give Kleeneze a miss due to the £75 up front fee and go with betterware instead.

    He filled in the info online like 2 hrs ago and someone just rang back. The lady who used to do our area stopped 3mths ago and they need someone else. We both really like it that they tell you what areas are available and which ones aren't.

    We live in a village so our whole village is available for my OH to do. Seeing it has no up front costs, he's tempted to do. Especially cos at the min he gets £60 a week job seekers allowance so if he made that where no worse off, then he's still available to go for job interviews and will get some serious exercise in at the same time walking around the village, which can't hurt.

    Good luck and keep us posted ;)
  • Iv recently become a distributor and am feeling a little bit disillusioned with it all to be honest. After paying out £75 for my start up kit i thought that would be it but then iv been told i have to pay out more for the MLM service, more still for use of the internet ordering system.

    It also seems to be one big pyramid system.

    Does anyone else do Kleeneze?

    Please dont come to my house I have no desire to purchase over inflated goods or leave catalogues outside my house for weeks on end because the previous person packed it on as it often is the case. Nor do I want one catalogue after the other.

    Respect peoples homes particularly when they put notices on the windows (front porch) indicating they do not want to buy anything at the door

    Please dont spectulate that all catalogue distributers are all the same then savemoney.

    My OH is having to do it as its become desperate times for money, he has respect for people who display signs saying they don't want stuff like this.

    Also you might be surprised at what it is in a catalogue that you didn't know about, ok fair point it might be a bit pricey, but then look else where to find it cheaper. If you don't buy from it, be greatful you saw the item and got it cheaper else where.

    When I did it I came to the conclusion that Kleeneze must be making more money from selling stuff to their agents than they are selling stuff to the customers.

    I based my experience of many years as a home owner, I wish I had a fiver each time a catalogue was left only to either, rush at and give it back and then having them knock on my door some days later for the catalogue, or having left catalogue out for days on end and no one comes, very rare they ever return, which leads me to the question, why do they bother? They obviously got fed up of the money making scam they call Kleeneze and the like.

    I dont fault people for trying to help themselves, I been there with little or no money and, I just wish people/companies who distribute and bully and I not just talking about Kleeneze all door step sellers etc to leave people alone who have no wish to buy anything and I mean that 100% I wont even look at the offers, my home is my castle and I don't wish for anyone to intrude into my personnel life without being invited to do so that includes silent calls of which I go to great lengths to avoid. IE find who rang search number and set my phone to play a horrible ring tone to alert me of a silent caller so I dont even have to answer the phone, as last week Car phone warehouse all flaming week
