This video is my Splash Foam Spray review of a possible scam that may not be legitimate, claiming the product can easily clean ovens, remove black mold, and perform many other "magical" tasks, all without any "painful scrubbing." Does Splash Foam Spray really work? No, it doesn't. I investigate potential scams for a living, and I'm sorry to report that this product checked a lot of the boxes I look for. If viewers see any positive Splash Foam Spray reviews online, whether for Amazon, Walmart, or other stores, there's a chance they may not be legitimate. Also, Consumer Reports never looked into Splash Foam Spray. I noticed some people searching for that data, but it doesn't exist.
Splash Foam Spray is showing up on YouTube in sponsored advertisements. The ads claim that a nameless stock video actor created the product and that it can help remove black mold, clean ovens, and perform other amazing tasks. However, a quick review of the landing page resulting from that YouTube advertisement showed numerous photo comparisons falsely claiming that people used Splash Foam Spray to clean various surfaces such as tables, ovens, stovetops, and showers. Using reverse-image searches, I traced the roots of each photo comparison to commercial companies or old Facebook posts, proving that Splash Foam Spray had nothing to do with the cleaning efforts.
I also noticed other discrepancies during my Splash Foam Spray review, such as the promise of 7,000 five-star reviews and another page claiming the product had 150,000+ happy customers. Neither number showed attribution or proof. Where are those reviews? Further, in my video, I quickly looked at a Trustpilot page for Splash Foam Spray but missed a different one on this page: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/splashfoam.com. That page showed a whopping 354 reviews with an average score of 1.1 out of 5. Meanwhile, a BBB page I missed showed over 500 reviews with an average score of 1.05 out of 5: https://www.bbb.org/us/fl/tampa/profile/online-retailer/splash-foaming-cleaner-0653-90388864/customer-reviews. In other words, the product received terrible, awful reviews—possibly the worst review scores I've ever seen.
Basically, here's my Splash Foam Spray review: It appears the product is possibly made in China, shipped to a fulfillment center in the U.S., and then sent to customers from there. While this might be standard practice for some cleaning products, the difference with Splash Foam Spray is that no information whatsoever is available about who created the product. The only physical mailing address visible online showed a business agent's address, meaning the true person who registered with the business agent wanted anonymity. Additionally, the bad reviews on Trustpilot did nothing to reassure me. A score of 1.05 out of 5 for 500+ reviews is really, really bad.
My recommendation is to stick with trustworthy products found in stores in your town. Look for online reviews from Trustpilot and the BBB, or even better, Consumer Reports. Thank you for watching.
