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.
When I review colon cleanse products I almost always start with the ingredients. Total Cleanse gave me some difficulty in these regards since they don't list their ingredients anywhere on the website. They do state how important it is to consume dietary fiber, so I think it's safe to assume that it at least contains fiber of some sort. Obviously, the fact that they don't disclose the ingredients is a bit of a red flag.
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.
It appears that all of the above mentioned concerns are quite real. ComplaintsBoard.com had numerous complaints that confirm that many of these things are taking consumers by surprise. You may also find it interesting that the Better Business Bureau rated them at an 'F.'
In conclusion, do yourself one huge favor and don't get scammed by Total Cleanse. We don't know what the ingredients are, the price is extremely high, they engage in very shady sales practices, their customer service has many complaints against them, and their guarantee is as close to no guarantee as you can get. I think I've said enough. - 15995
