Total Cleanse Review
I’ve recently seen a lot of new entrants into the colon cleanse industry. One of these that popped up in the last year is Total Cleanse. A quick search for Total Cleanse will give you a number of websites that are pushing it. After reviewing Total Cleanse, I’m pretty convinced that these sites are heavily incentivized because I see no apparent reason for choosing Total Cleanse over the other colon cleanse products in the market. This short version of my full Total Cleanse review will give you a taste of what Total Cleanse is all about.
Naturally, when reviewing colon cleanse products, I always look at the ingredients to determine if they are likely to make an effective cleanser. The problem with Total Cleanse isn’t necessarily that they have inferior ingredients, but rather that they don’t disclose what the ingredients even are on their website. I can assume that it includes fiber because they say how important fiber is in their sales copy, but I’m sorry that I can’t go further than that. This definitely should have some of you questioning Total Cleanse right off the bat.
Since I couldn’t review the product itself for effectiveness, I moved on the busines practices. Staring at me in the face was a big offer to accept their free trial. I clicked on it and was immediately asked for my credit card information to pay for the shipping. Not big deal. But what was a big deal is that in fine print below you’ll see that by accepting a free trial you are enrolling in their autoship program. In a nutshell, if you don’t cancel within 15 days, they will start mailing you monthly supplies of Total Cleanse and charging your card $78.84 plus shipping!
So are all autoship programs evil? Well. this idea itself isn’t so bad, but what is bad is the fact that you are enrolling in it is explained in the fine print that most people will just brush over. Unfortunately most people will order the free trial without realizing that they need to be expecting charges to hit their card in another couple of weeks. Don’t fall for the free trial. There’s nothing free about it.
As if their autoship program wasn’t shady enough, they also include a ‘guarantee’ that is probably the worst I’ve seen. You only have 15 days from the time the product ships to return your product for a refund. In addition, in order to get your money back you have to call and get a return authorization number. This is also something that most people wont realize so they’ll send it back without the number and likely won’t get their money back at all. Oh, and they also charge a 30% restocking fee. That’s just rediculous.
But is it really as bad as the evidence makes it look like? Well, ComplaintsBoard.com has many filed complaints with hundreds of comments on each one complaining about them not being able to contact the company, being charged when they didn’t know they would, and more. On top of that, the Better Business Bureau gave them an ‘F’ rating.
So to sum it all up, Total Cleanse is expensive, it doesn’t have much of a guarantee, they use shady sales tactics, they have a myriad of complaints against them, and we don’t what ingredients it contains. Total Cleanse is sure making it hard to recommend them.
