Describe the misuse or misinterpretation of statistics that may be involved.
An ad for arcbrite claims that the detergent gets clothes twice as clean.

I think it is wrong because there is no proof that the clothes get twice as clean. Also no clothes can be twice as clean they are just clean. Am I right?
