Revolutionary new cleaner will kill 'other 0.1% of all known germs'

This is what I don't get.
IF something kills 99.9% of germs, it leaves the 0.1% that are resistant to the germicide, and we all know how fast these germs reproduce - so essentially after the first wash, ever other wash is essentially useless.

This is a classic; the 99.9 % is the percentage of germs that can be proven to be killed. The cleaning companies cannot put 100.0 % because the technology they use presumably isn't accurate enough. No doubt in a few years when bio-technologies have improved, it will be 99.99 %.

5 stars though as obviousley I would think its a good ideaPosted 6 years ago # -
I thought Domestos claimed to "kill all known germs... DEAD". You don't mean to say they were lying?
I'm personally more worried about all those unknown germs. Perhaps we could develop a new cleaner to wipe them out?

It seems I worked this line before too - alas, Button seems to have donated his 0.1% worth before me
An equally deserving 5* ....
Is it me or are these grapes sour?

butagirl: Nah they aren't lying. It kills all known varieties of germs (and almost certainly unknown germs too) - just can't prove it kills every one of a given batch (e.g. in a petri dish).

Vancomycin - it's all that stands between us and microbial Armageddon.

Al, is that Jamaican patois for an eye-witness account of a Transit theft?
