Safe
Bio-degradeable laundry detergent that claims to clean "all things better all ways." The Bradys and Alice are cast to promote Safe in a television commercial directed by Skip Farnum.

Farnum fires them after Myrna Carter's advice ruins their "natural" acting style. He honors their contract by paying the family with 2,000 boxes of the detergent. It's also the detergent Bobby uses to overload the washing machine after dirtying his nicest outfit while rescuing a cat. [ 59 ]

The commercial's script:

Husband: "Hi, honey. Here's that box of Safe you wanted from the market."
Wife: "Thanks, dear. And just in time! I was down to my last cupful of Safe."
Husband: "So was the market. Safe really outsells all other brands."
Wife: "That's because Safe cleans all things better all ways. I just couldn't do without Safe. It's the only brand I feel safe with." . . .

Don't blunder and give away your heart
Until you whisper 'I love you' and then I'll know
Sweet someone, that you belong to me . . .
