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

Monthly Specials:  The end of August will bring many changes to Mary Moppins. I will be receiving my own private labeled natural green cleaners. Until now they have only been marketed to industrial markets. They are coming to me as full industrial strength and have not been diluted for retail sales. They are powerful cleaners yet totally natural without harm to yourself or the environment. 

Mary Moppins is very pleased and proud to be the first to offer them to the public. NOTE: We will be looking for distributors and retail stores to carry these or any of our products. 

Benya is a remarkable glass cleaner which also leaves no streaks or smears on black faced kitchen appliances. 

CleanEze, highly concentrated, can be used on any surface including granite and marble yet powerful enough to handle the tough stuff. 

TerraPlus cuts through soap scum, hard water spots, grease and oil in minutes. I will tell you more about them in a special newsletter after they have arrived.

This means current inventory needs to be sold. These items will be discontinued and not reordered. Prices will be good until supply runs out. These cleaners are on sale for over 25% off suggested retail price. There is only one quart of the Ion-A-Clean left and it is also being discontinued due to the extremely high cost of the product. Unfortunately I cannot put it on sale due to the high cost.

Liquid Dish Soap http://www.goclean.com/dish-soap.htm   regularly $9 is now $6..00 

Bi-O-Kleen  http://www.goclean.com/bio-kleen.htm    regularly $12 is now $8 

Bac-Out http://www.goclean.com/bac-out.htm   regularly $14 on sale for $10.00

At check out your invoice will read the full price. I will take the deductions before billing your credit card. A verification slip is always sent. 

Don't miss the continuing sale of FiltaKleen. One 16 ounce bottle normally $43.95 is $40. It treats 1200 gallons of gas or diesel and will save you over $500 with the additional fuel efficiency. For those of you with RVs and boats, it also keeps your fuel clean when not in use to prevent damage to the engine. 

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

John Wayne referred to his costar Kim Darby as having "True Grit" in the 1969 movie by the same name. Kim or "Mattie" in the movie wanted to go after the men who had killed her father and hired Rooster Cogburn to accompany her to find them - on horseback of course. Sitting on top of a 1000 pound animal it takes more than a bit of "True Grit" to keep the horse under your complete control and your focus on acting your part. 

During the years traveling to rallies, fairs and home shows I have had the delightful pleasure of meeting many women who have worked with horses their entire lives. These women, who are in their later years of life, still ride and many continue to run their ranch even though their husbands have passed away. 

They are a different breed of women and a group that I highly admire. They have a determination and an inner knowing of oneself that is rarely seen outside of the horse world and it's a shame. It's a gentle yet powerful strength that comes from knowing not only who you are but more importantly who you are not then holding that strength in your heart where it is one with your body and spirit.  

One lady I met was 84 at the time and her boyfriend was 91. She was teaching him to ride horses and he was teaching her to water ski. Her husband had passed away 10 years prior and she still ran their fully working 1800 acre ranch by horseback.

Another lady who came over recently to pick up one of my mops was still working the 18 acres she and her late husband had owned.  When she called me she said "I can't come today, I'm tired. I just finished weed eating the yard." When she did come she told me about the college courses she takes to keep her mind sharp - and it is - and her trips to Europe to study architecture and cultures. She sold her horses a few years ago because it was difficult to care for them when she traveled. Her parting words were, "I'm not leaving my home. I've been there for 68 years and that is where I'm going to stay. She is 91 and I have no doubt that is exactly what she will do! 

As I see the degradation of our society and the destruction of our Earth I can't help but to wonder the difference that would be made in our world if women everywhere could foster that same inner strength that these "women of the horse" carry with them on or off the saddle. 

Yes I owe the men a "greetings" as well - it will come J 

 [[[[[[[TIMELY TIPS: 

If you are new to Moppins Mail and want to catch up the past several issues, they are available on my blog. http://amazingcleaningtips101.blogspot.com/. 

Autumn is close at hand and I'm sure for those of you who have sweltered through this summer it can't come soon enough. And that is just my point. It is warm out and the best time to wash the blankets and spreads since they can be put out to dry. 

Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for cleaning. If you machine wash your bedding  be sure it will fit the washer with room to spare for effective cleaning. Otherwise the bedding will not come clean. Usually the large capacity washers at the laundromat are your best bet and faster since you can run 3 or 4 loads at one time.  (Always clean these tubs before using them) 

Some wool blankets can be machine washed in cold water with much caution. Check the tag first. Dry clean when specified. Wash wool blankets in "Brown Sheep Shampoo." I recently learned that Woolite changed the formula. It is no longer considered safe by the yarn wool associations for cleaning wool. They recommend The Brown Sheep Shampoo made by the Brown Sheep Company. 

Machine wash wool blankets by filling the tub with cold water and adding a small amount of the "shampoo." Pretreat any stains and clean the binding around the outer edges of the blanket with Bi-O-Kleen  (remember it's on sale) Let that set 15 to 30 minutes. Be especially gentle if the blanket is old and the binding could tear easily. Let the blanket soak for 30 minutes before allowing the cycle to run. After the wash cycle finishes allow the blanket to spin for just a minute then advance the timer to the deep rinse cycle. Then let the cycle finish.  Lay the blanket on a table outside or in your garage on top of some clean towels. 

Or alternately fill the bathtub with cold water adding ¼ cup of the Brown Sheep Shampoo. Let the blanket or spread soak for 30 minutes, agitate gently then rinse in a tub of cold water adding a cup of white vinegar to help extract the shampoo. Rinse them a second time in plain water.  Do not wring. Fold them in half then roll them up to help remove most of the water while the blanket is still in the tub. Then roll them up placing large bath towels on top of the blanket as it is rolled to absorb the moisture. 

Cotton and acrylic blankets can be machine washed in cold water and dried on low. These blankets dry faster without the expensive cost of electricity by hanging them outside to dry. They can be draped over a rail after the rail has been covered with plastic or hung on a taut line. 

Nylon flock blankets like Vellux, can be washed in cool water. They dry quickly outside or in the dryer on medium heat. If you machine dry them do remove them promptly so set your kitchen timer as a reminder.    

Now you have your bedding ready for holiday guests giving you one less hectic thing to do during the holidays that are more than rapidly approaching.
