I see that all antibacterial cleaning products kill 99.9% of germs.

So, I will become a billionaire by designing a cleaning product that targets the remaining 0.1%

But hang on. I wipe a table using one of these products. That leaves 0.1% of germs intact. If shortly after, I then wipe the table again, 99.9% of that 0.1% will be killed, meaning that two successive wipes results in 99.9999% of germs being killed.
 
I'm waiting for my GP to start complaining that every time I use antibacterial wipes, that I shouldn't because it will create "Superbugs" that are the other 0.1% of germs...

But if I mention Antibiotics, it's like I'm threatening the world with armageddon....

They kill all germs, I heard the legal eagles won't let them say that in case some one discovers a new germ that they don't kill...
.. but according to :-


its because of the testing standards. something about even if you kill the lot you have to assume one survived. stupid
