Monthly Specials:  

     Over the years products in my line have come and gone as is with most things in life. When you find a good product that works and people rave about it, it becomes like a favorite oldie but goodie that endures the test of time.  

     That duration ended like a bad scratch down the middle of a 45 vinyl record when I placed an order this week for my Wood Care and Leather Care.  The prices have gone so outrageously high that these two products may have to be discontinued. My current retail pricing has been $17.95. These new increases would force that to $26.95.

      I am looking into two options. One I think is going to still send costs soaring. If the other works then it will allow me to continue selling these products although pricing will go up some. My supplier said they had 4 cases each of the Wood and Leather Care left at the old prices, which I have purchased. If you have been using either product and need supply, you might want to order. I usually sell three to four cases of each of these products at my Jan RV rally. 

     I will let you know as soon as I hear if this second option will work. Believe me I will be quite excited not to be forced into discontinuing these products. It may be as long as two months before I know for sure.  

     The cost of all of my products is increasing between 50 cents to $1 the first of the year. Mops are going up by $3. My mop parts have taken a huge increase due to the fact that they are petroleum based.  

END of YEAR SPECIAL: For the remainder of the year any order over $50 will receive one of my new diaper dusting/polishing cloths free. This is a $3 retail cost. Any order over $100 will receive the diaper cloth and one of my lint free cloths for windows. My cleaning products especially my mops have been a well received holiday gift for many years. They are gifts used and treasured every day of the week for years. 

Currently with the increased gas mileage achieved with Filta Kleen, a 16 ounce saves you close to $500 at the gas pump based on $3.09 a gallon for standard passenger cars.  It is around a $400 savings for trucks and SUVs. One 16 ounce bottle treats 1200 gallons of gas or diesel.

     A comic strip called Zits did a short two day flash back into the 60's and 70's. It is one of my favorite cartoons second in line to Stone Soup written by Jan Elliott, who owns one of my mopping devices. Jan and I both hang our rain gear (it's been raining - a lot) on pegs of our homes here in Eugene, Or. 

     The son in Zits had been razzing his father about some of the 60's songs he had been listening to including old Beatles tunes. As it turned out the words "Goo Goo G'joob" from "I am the Walrus" had been stuck in the poor father's head since the day he first heard the song. 

     Those three innocent words sent me sailing into yesteryears when we wore miniskirts so short it makes the ones of today look like calf huggers. We neither dared lean over nor sit down in those things. And oh the black lace hose we wore with them. Anyone over 30 scoffed at us and verbalized their wishes that our posteriors receive a case of frost bite.  

      We were 18 give or take a year or two, the Vietnam war was raging and all of the women on my college campus from freshmen up burned our bras during a campus sit in to protest the war.   

     It was a time when A & W Root Beer was "The" place to meet a date. The "Swim" and "Funky Chicken" did not mean you were headed to the swimming pool or KFC for dinner. It was 1968 and my boyfriend's '57 Chevy was a hot set of wheels and we were a number.   

     Now throttle into 4th gear - 4 on the floor was cool, 3 on the column was not, and Honky Tonk your way to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqOKvonLrH8.  Double dare ya! 

P.S. I still drive an 87 Toyata pickup - 4 on the floor. Am I cool or what? Don't answer that. 

P.S.S. The "Swim" and "Funky Chicken" were the dance craze back then. 

[[[[[[[TIMELY TIPS: 

     If you have missed any of my cleaning tip newsletters they are posted on my blog, accessible from the front page of my website www.goclean.com. Scroll down on the right column to "Amazing Cleaning Tips 101."

     I'm not sending my usual holiday cleaning tips because those are listed on my blog. can already be read from my blog. You will find it on the front page of my website. Just look for the November especially 11/26/06 and 12/5/06. If you go back to those dates of just about any year you will find more articles on holiday cleaning. 

     This is going to be a 2 part series called SWSWSWWN. It's a saying I learned with sales work. Some Will, Some Won't, So What, Who's Next. In sales it means some will buy, some won't buy, so what can you do to convert the "some who won't buy" then determine what's next? Stop to think about this for a second. Much of life revolves around this same principal including cleaning. 

     Some will overkill on the cleanliness issue, some won't clean but the basics. Others say "so what, it's only going to get dirty again so why clean." So what's next?  Let's take a look at what might be over kill and what is under kill and how to find that even pace.  

     If you spray paint your cobwebs orange and black at Halloween, then perhaps you might want to take a closer look at your cleaning schedule. Another good test is to run your fingernail along the bottom of the shower wall. If your fingernail turns white, that is soap residue buildup and is an indicator that your cleaning process need a lift because if you are cleaning regularly and still getting that buildup, your product is not working. 

    The final check point is whether or not you turn on your ceiling fan. Those homes needing help, leave theirs off to keep from spreading the dust further.  If any of this sounds familiar grab your cleaning tools you have a solid day of cleaning ahead. 

      You can keep your home clean with minimal effort and without over doing on the clean scene. Here is a general rule of thumb to follow to help determine a cleaning schedule suitable for you. 

  1.. Singles or couples with no pets, children or hobbies that create dust like woodworking can squeak by with an every other week cleaning.  I do recommend vacuuming carpets every week to prevent the buildup of damaging dust and dirt. The frequency of vacuuming depends on your individual circumstance. 
  2.. If children or pets are present in the home, then a weekly cleaning schedule including vacuuming, kitchen and damp mopping floors is necessary to keep the home clean. Dusting can be alternated with bathroom cleaning every other week to help with busy schedules.  
  3.. Busy homes with several children or pets inside the home or those who live on farms, ranches or dusty roads need weekly maintenance and possibly twice a week.  

     People can become excessive with cleanliness and disinfect every surface each time it is used. I have known people who spray down their toilet seats every time they use it. That is excessive. If you have a spill or accident which produces bacteria like feces, urine, milk, raw meat, eggs etc then that surface must be disinfected every time. Otherwise regularly scheduled cleaning will keep your home in top shape, your sanity in check and keep the clutter away. 

     Next issue we will talk about hidden dirt in the home and how to apply the SWSWSWWN to cleaning.
