Is the product really a pen that cleans? Otherwise it would be misleading. If it is really a pen, quite smart product with a smart ad I'd say!

Yes, it really is a pen. Some previous ads for the same product for reference:

Refreshing. Something smart in a cleaning product ad.

It's a great print ad!

Muy bueno

JCSaiKrishna's picture 735 pencils

it is similar to an old detergent ad (saw it in 'Ogilvy On Advertising' book)... that ad headlines read "How to remove stains..." and the body copy describes how to remove different types of strains under the visuals of the strains..

I'm excited to know my mistakes!
