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

Monthly Specials:  Three of my cleaners: the Erase It for Bathrooms which removes hard water, rust and iron from toilets ($15.95); my Bi-O-Kleen, a highly concentrated and very effective all purpose cleaner ($12)and my Ion-A-Clean stain remover ($8.95) have quickly become favorite cleaners for many people, mainly because they work so quickly and easily. So for my readers only I have bundled the three together. Ordinary price is $36.90. They are on sale to you for $27.71 or a 25% savings. The Bi-O-Kleen makes nearly 25 gallons of cleaner. Order the items separately. You will be charged the regular amount only that will be changed before billing. 

My book "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Cleaning" is now in bookstores across the United States and it is available on my website. People are already emailing me that my tips have solved many of their problems. They have tossed their toxic chemicals and are cleaning faster and love how their homes sparkle. 

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

Before I pass along the current scam being used I would like to share with you something that has brought me great pleasure. Through my association with Housekeepingchannel.com, I learned that ABC's Extreme Make: Home Edition was in need of cleaning supplies for the homes they are rebuilding. Mary Moppins now supplies these deserving families with cleaning tools and cleaners based on their specific needs. 

This information was sent to me a few days back.  Please send it on to those who might also benefit from knowing this. Yes I will return to my usual greeting next issue. I felt that the information I've passed along in these past 3 newsletters is important for you to know. 

As technology improves so do the ways criminals learn to abuse the knowledge and scams are part of their devious behavior. I have not received one of these phone calls but I do receive calls asking me to verify my address. It is important to train young children to turn a phone call over to you if they do not know the caller. Teach older children never to give any personal information even if the caller states your correct address. They should simple say "I never give personal information over the phone," then hang up immediately. I never felt it necessary to finish a conversation with a crook.  

In this scam the callers do not ask for your credit card number. They already have it. The person calling says, "This is (name), and I'm calling from the Security and Fraud Department at Visa or whatever credit card company.  My badge number is 12460. Your card has been flagged for an unusual purchase pattern, and I'm calling to verify if you have made the purchase. This would be on your Visa card which was issued by (name of bank).  Did you purchase this product for 'said' amount of money?   

Naturally you say "No." They will then read your card number to you and report that it is being used to purchase this product. Then you are asked to verify the three digit number on the back of your card. You are reassured they have the number but ask you to give them the number for verification. Only they don't have the number. Immediately hang up and call the credit card fraud department for that card and take appropriate action. Also check your credit standing with the credit firms to make sure your identity has not been stolen and other cards are not being used fraudulently. Checking your credit information several times a year is an important step to preventing identity theft.  

[[[[[[[TIMELY TIPS: 

Last issue I began an article suggesting tips on what to clean if you have 15 minutes on your hands. For those of you who are new to my newsletter the first part is in my blog.

The second part continues with suggestions on what to clean with 30 minutes and an hour. Remember these are only suggestions. Adapt them to your schedule and your circumstance. I'm only giving you suggestions so when your busy schedule allows a few minutes you don't waste half that time deciding what to clean. 

Thirty minutes:

1)      When was the last time you cleaned your refrigerator coils? That should be done twice a year to keep your motor running smoothly. 

2)      Clean the inside windows in your kitchen and family or living room and sliding glass door if you have one. In other words remove those smudges. Then apply just a little bit of Advantage to keep the smudges at bay. 

3)      Clean the drawers in your kitchen you most frequently use or the ones that tend to gather "stuff" like coupons and knickknacks. 

4)      Pick up and put away clutter in two rooms - if you have more than 15 minutes of clutter to remove in any one room then this 30 minutes is a great time to get rid of the clutter in one room. Yes it is plenty of time - stay focused. That cup of coffee comes as a reward after the clutter is gone not before or during.

5)      Dust the mini blinds or window coverings in one sector of your home

6)      Clean your light fixtures and change light bulbs that are getting old using the energy saving bulbs. 

7)      Change smoke detector batteries

8)      Change your furnace filter

One hour:

1)      Bathrooms - do all the bathrooms at one time to eliminate dragging out your tote tray two or three times. Mary Moppins Bi-O-Kleen will make short work of bathrooms. Read my article on bathroom cleaning for more tips to speed clean your bathrooms. 

Don't forget to treat your shower walls and inside of the toilet with Advantage. It is my waterless car wash and protectant. The polymers in Advantage make surfaces slick. Water sheets down shower walls so they are faster to squeegee. I'll let your imagination go to work to tell you the advantage of slick toilet bowls J.  

2)      Dust one sector of your home like the bedroom sector or the living room, dining room and family room areas using our diluted Wood Care. .

3)      Clean out the refrigerator - it should take less than hour so use the remaining time to clean up under the hood of your stove or the surrounding cabinets. 

4)      Clean the ashes out of the fireplace or wood stove and clean the glass insert

5)      Condition your leather or vinyl furniture with our Leather Cleaner and Conditioner

6)      Winter is harsh on wood window sills. Prevent them from cracking with our Wood Care. 

7)      Clean smudges on walls and light plates.

8)      Dust lamp shades. Use a clean paint brush with the bristles cut down one half inch for pleated shades and our dry sponge for flat ones. 

Now you can see why I recommend making a list of everything in your home that needs to be cleaned. It's so much easier to refer to your list and check them off as you get them done. 

  [[[[[[[SHORT CLIPS: This was sent to me by a dear friend. "Will Rogers died in a plane crash with Wylie Post in 1935, was probably the greatest political sage this world has ever known." Enjoy the following:

"Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco. 

Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.
There are 2 theories to arguing with a woman...neither works."

Grins,

Mary Findley
