The Weed be Gone will leave a slight silver tinge to your lawn for 24 hours whilst your lawn absorbs the iron. Also if when applying you notice the liquid beading and rolling off the leaves you should spray a solution of a couple of drops of Dawn in a litre of water first as a surfectant. Next April when the snow first goes use Scotts Weed Preventer (red tab bag) and you will at least start the season without any new dandelions.

It is certainly healthier for the environment (and us, for that matter), but saying Weed B Gone works better than Killex is ridiculous.
By all means, convince people to use iron water instead of carcinogenic compounds , but do so using its actual benefits.
