 [[[[[[[Special Flash]]]]]]]] 

Monthly Specials:  April specials continue to feature our new Simple Solutions. As is usual I'm behind in getting it in my Product Catalogue. It is an amazing product that removes hard water stains from windows, windshields and glass shower doors. It comes as a powder and mixed with water and pasted on the glass then rubbed to remove the buildup. 

Since this issue of Moppins Mail offers tips for windows we are offering three specials packages. 

Package 1 - Our Window Wizzard normally $22.95 and our Window Squeegee for outside windows normally $17.95, the cone adapter to attach the squeegee to your handle (Not needed with our handles) $6.00 are packaged together along with the Simple Solutions -$15. Separately they are $61.90. The package is $56.90 and includes our $2.50 White Scrubbie Pad free! 

Package 2 - for those of you with Sun Rooms, package 2 comes with the above and in addition our $29.95 Angle Adapter for cleaning over the rounded top of your sun room. This package separately is $91.85 and is on sale for $86.85 and includes the $2.50 white scrub pad. 

*You may deduct any of the items in the kits and the cost will be adjusted accordingly. 

If you only need the Simple Solutions it is $15. During the month of April it will also include the White Scrubbie Pad. Since the Simple Solutions is not on my website yet, order the White Scrubbie Pad (you will not be charged although the invoice will state that) and in the comment section let me know that you want the Simple Solutions. 

These specials do not show up on my website as they are for subscribers only. Order each item separately then in the comment section tell me you want the April package. 

*Special Note: Gasoline prices are again on the rise. Our Filta-Kleen  increases your gas mileage between 7 and 15%. One pint treats 1200 gallons of gas which is a cost of $.04 per gallon yet will save you a minimum of $.25 per gallon with the increased gas mileage. This is a $.21 per gallon savings. http://www.goclean.com/filta-kleen.htm

[[[[[[[GREETINGS]]]]]]]] 

Two years ago Grandfather brought a very special gift into my life by way of my son and precious daughter-in-law. Gracie will be two in two weeks and yesterday my son called to tell me that a second child will arrive in December.  As I sat listening to him, for the second time in my life words just simply would not come out of my mouth. Those of you who know me personally, know that my mouth just simply does not understand anything but first gear - hey that's down from third gear at least. Ok, I heard the laughter and those "boy she isn't kidding" thoughts. My mouth does tend to ramble on without consent from any other part of my body including my brain, which learned a long time ago to get out of the way of my mouth because trying to quiet it generally means a loosing battle. 

Jason's news left me speechless, awed, happy, mystified and totally content all in the same brief few minutes. As I gathered my senses and listened as my son talked about his future with his new child, the tears ran wild and my emotions were right beside them. I realized I soon will have two grandchildren to teach the joy of putting rolly polly bugs in your pockets (Courtney be sure to check all Gracie's pockets, she has picked up on some of her Grandmother's habits) and feeling worms wiggle between your toes.  

I know with great peace and pride that this little one will be loved, cherished and brought up with the love of God in his heart. What more could a grandparent ask? 

[[[[[[[TIMELY TIPS: 

For those of you new to my newsletter, the past several issues are available on my blog. http://amazingcleaningtips101.blogspot.com/. 

     Several people have emailed asking my opinion of a recipe for a furniture polish using olive oil and vinegar. Olive oil is very healthy for your body. It is not healthy for furniture. It turns rancid in a short period of time especially when exposed to air. Rancid olive oil will smell (do you really want that in your home?) Please use products only for their intended use unless you thoroughly check the validity of what is recommended. 

     Spring is here and it's time to clean the windows. First of all use the Mary Moppins mop http://www.goclean.com/mops.htm to remove cobwebs around windows and under the eves of your home. Always wash windows from top to bottom. When using a squeegee wipe the blade often and change the blade if it continues to smear. Wash any towels you will be using adding ½ cup white vinegar to the rinse water. Do not use fabric softener, bleach or dryer sheets as all three will cause windows to smear. Wash windows out of the direct sunlight to prevent streaks. Wipe squeegee blades frequently. Replace your blades if they are more than a year or two old. 

1)      Remove the screens cleaning them with our dry sponge http://www.goclean.com/dry-sponge.htm. This is faster and less messy than washing them. 

2)      With a 1" paint brush remove cobwebs and dirt from around window frames

3)      Vacuum the frames to remove any dirt that is left

4)      Clean inside windows that can be reached by hand using a microfiber cloth http://www.goclean.com/towels.htm. Use microfiber ONLY on glass or mirrors. It will eventually take the finish off furniture, cars etc. We do carry very high quality microfiber that won't leave lint or stop working after washing it.  

5)      For inside windows that are up high including Sun Rooms, lightly dampen the wash pad of our Window Wizard http://www.goclean.com/ww-wizzard.htm with water only. If you have a microfiber mop, (please do not use it on your floors. It will eventually strip the finish off any floor) it will work quite well for you. Wash it then rinse it in a white vinegar and water solution to remove the soap residue. 

6)      Alternately for sun rooms or windows up high you will need a step ladder and either microfiber cloths or lint free towels like our huck towels. Cotton baby diapers work quite well. Just do not use newspapers as the ink has changed and will leave streaks. Paper towels and newspapers contain pulp which will scratch glass. Mix 1/3 of a cup of distilled white vinegar and ¼ cup of rubbing alcohol in a new 32 ounce spray bottle. Fill with distilled water, which gives consistent results. Put a terry towel on window sills to catch the drips.

7)       Outside windows: Use the same window cleaning recipe as above. Spray the window thoroughly, let it set a minute then squeegee down starting at the top. If you are using the Window Wizzard, dampen the wash pad with water clean the window and squeegee. 

8)      For those of you who like to use a bucket of window cleaner wash your bucket and wipe the inside with rubbing alcohol to remove any film or oil left behind. Fill with water adding two-thirds cup of white vinegar and one-half cup of rubbing alcohol. Some people also add a bit of automatic dish washer detergent. That works too. I would use one-fourth cup. 

Generally smears are caused by towels that contain laundry detergent residue, squeegee blades that are old or dirty, cleaning in the direct sunlight or not drying the window quickly enough.

If your window does smear, use an old cotton tee shirt (clean please) spray it with straight rubbing alcohol and wipe over the window. A neat trick is to tuck a lint free towel sprayed with rubbing alcohol in your belt loop. After you squeegee the window, wipe the window with the towel. A friend of mine (thank you Jerry) told me that wiping windows with a dry eraser will also remove smears. It would be fast! Just make sure the window is completely dry. You don't need to take this precaution if using alcohol. 

  [[[[[[[SHORT CLIPS: From the poem Desjderata "Go placidly amid the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant - they too have their story."

Grins,

Mary Findley
