The star of the debate

Jo the plumber (video)

Josephine the Plumber - TVs favorite plumber was Josephine, the mascot and spokesperson for Comet Cleanser. Played by veteran actress Jane Withers, Josephine the plumber dressed in white workers overalls and freely gave advice to her customers on the best way to get stubborn stains from sinks and tubs. Of course, her recommended product was "Comet Cleanser." Comet is a tough cleanser with a no-scratch formula. It can be used on porcelain, stainless steel and fiberglass safely and it kills germs like Staph, Salmonella and Pseudomonas. And because Comet contains bleach it is ideal for cleaning toilets, sinks and tubs. Wow! no wonder Josephine likes this stuff. In 2001 Procter & Gamble Company sold their Comet Cleanser product line to Prestige Brands International.
