very good news, i like this very much,every morning i wait for news here
Well.I wondered why I couldn't find refill pads anywhere. The Magic Reach is a cleaning tool that I actually used and was very pleased with the results. There was enough "soap" in the pad to re-use the pad at least twice, I discovered. Hope I can find a cache somewhere so I can stock up!!
Just to let you know acehardwaresuperstore.com is selling FAKE refills made in cardboard boxes of 6 and are made in china.They have been sued by a retailer and investigation is under1way.Please keep care not to buy the ones in a box as they are FAKE
I found some just today in Big lots discount store they had a bunch of Mr. Clean products.Good Luck on your hunt hope this helps.
I emailed Proctor & Gamble and they replied back saying that the Magic Reach product was licensed to Butler Home Products. I just ordered 2 boxes at $5.99 each with $3.99 shipping! Their website is cleanerhomeliving.com
cleanerhomeliving.com is where to get them for close to what they used to be retail. Phew, they make cleaning the shower so much easier and they do a great job! Thanks for the info Tracy!
I for one am very upset that this product was discontinued. How can we fix this? Butler Home Products is only the distributor. How can we get Mr. Clean to start production again?
I don't have a Big Lots near me so I can't go hunting for them... Thanks Tracy! I just order online from clearnerhomeliving.com.
I am so very dissapointed that this product was discontinued. It was a fantastic cleaning scrubber for the bathrooms and also my kitchen floor has a pitted lanoelumin{spelling} and this is the only product that gets it really clean. .I have looked everywhere for the refills and I can't find them anywhere. If I can order them from this web site, that would be fantastic. Thanks!
Butler cleaning products carry these pads and starter kits. They told me they will be back in stores, however I have yet to see them. You can purchase the refill pads for $5.99 + shipping. I hate shipping charges and have held off so far, but at least there is a source for this product. Best Wishes!
I just read the other comments...ha ha they are already on it. I'm still going to find out if they will be sold in stores. I was told that they will be. We shall see.
Also don't get them at ACE as commented above. Online a box of 8 pads is over $50.00!!!!!!!!!!! Are they nuts?
Got something to say?
