This is hard for me; I rarely buy any brand names in any of this stuff. Well, except Cascade; I’m convinced it’s the only one that works.

Repeat after me Dyson,Dyson Dyson. Hoover does not advertise much and is an anachronism. You people gotta get with it. Dyson seems so logical ,yet it is getting killed by Hoover.

Actually, as I learned from an episode of _Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?_, the product is known as **Don Limpio** in Spain. It’s also sold as **Maestro Limpio** in Mexico. The literal _Señor_ translation appears nowhere on [this list](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Clean#International_versions).
