It's the name of a special cleaning product manufacturer (or distributer), in other words, simply a detergent brand. The special thing about Amway is its distribution and marketing system. You can not buy any Amway product from your favorite store, (...) (26 years ago, 25-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)
