Monthly Specials:  

  The oil companies are at it again. Gas has gone up 45 cent in the past three weeks. There is a way to help defer this cost. FiltaKleen keeps your gas or diesel fuel running efficiently while keeping it clean. You will see a minimum of 6% increase in your mileage. Most people are seeing a 13% increase, which amounts to a whooping $560 savings per bottle. One 16 ounce bottle treats 1250 gallons of gas or diesel. If you are one of thousands who are ready to fight back against high gas prices, then FiltaKleen is ready to help you do just that. It works equally as well for boats, RVs, trucks, vans - any kind of diesel or gas powered vehicle. Plus it keeps your fuel clean when it is not being used like many boats or RVs. Normally $47, FiltaKleen is on sale for $43. 

  For the very first time in company history, Mary Moppins is offering FREE shipping until the end of March for any order over $100 including our new Precision Home Cleaning Kits. Not only will you save on your fuel bill with FiltaKleen you will save even further with our mops, which last 6 to 7 years. Most people replace mops three to four times a year at a cost of $45 or more. One Mary Moppins mop over a 7 year time span saves you $512. Between FiltaKleen and a Mary Moppins mop that is over a $1000 savings! And FREE shipping tossed in for added savings.  NOTE: your order will read $13 for shipping but it will be deducted before billing your account. 

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

     When I grow up I want to be a Snowbird. For those of you unfamiliar with life as an RVer, snowbirds are like other migratory birds.  They head south for the winter returning "home" when the weather warms. Home being anywhere their hearts and their wheels happen to stop. Those of us who sell products to RVers follow them to gatherings called a rally. Anywhere from 200 to 4000 RVs will come together for 3 days of music, seminars and camaraderie.        

    The reason this newsletter is so late getting out is most of February was spent following the snowbirds south out of the rainy Northwest into the warm Arizona dessert and Southern California. The 70 degree days in Arizona were enough to dissolve the rust that often accumulates on Oregonians. You see it rains so much here in the Northwest - West of the Cascades at least - that we don't wear suntan lotion we wear WD40 'cause we rust. (That is supposed to be a joke - really it is) 

     Graciously Grandfather brought the Oregon rains to Southern California for a few days resulting in the most astounding display of green grass, purple, white and orange flowers I've ever seen. 

     The grass is green year round in Oregon so why the big hoopla about California greenery? In a semi desert or desert environment, flowers and grass can only bloom if the rain arrives at just a precise moment in time, which happens rarely. The usually tan colored hillsides, although they do have a bit of green brush like sage brush, turn into a radiant emerald green topped by intense colors of the wildflowers. 

     I know gas prices have skyrocketed this past few months and many of you are still buried under snow in 15 degree weather. When it thaws and the marvels of begin showing their "colors" make a special trip with family and friends to go see the majesty of Grandfather's work of art. Those delicate tiny flowers growing out of rocks and sand are a sight to behold after a long cold winter. With the rapid destruction of Mother Earth we may not have them with us for much longer. Enjoy and take pictures while you can. 

[[[[[TIMELY TIPS: 

    If you have missed any of my cleaning tip newsletters they are posted on my blog, which is accessible from the front page of my website www.goclean.com.

     Be sure to pick up a copy of Woman's Day magazine that is currently in the stores. Or head to 

http://www.womansday.com/home/12909/how-to-clean-house-in-half-the-time.html. A few of my cleaning tips are mentioned. 

Spring is here, for most of us anyway. For those of you still shoveling snow you have a few more days to get a jump on spring cleaning before the yard work pulls you out into the wonderful sunshine. I generally list some of the most common areas that need attention every spring. This time let's delve into cleaning some hidden dirt problems that will also save you cleaning time in the future. 

     How many of you see those dreaded brownish or reddish streaks running down the inside of your toilet bowl? A quick look inside the tank provides an instant answer as to the source of the problem. Our Erase It for Bathrooms quickly removes those stains as well as iron and hard water rings without scratching. Let's tackle cleaning the tank to diffuse future problems.  

First you will need: A plastic bucket; several old towels and two extra to place on the floor around the toilet; an SOS pad; diluted CleanEz or your all purpose cleaner; a sponge and rubber gloves. 

Next: Turn off the water at the back of the tank and flush removing the water from both the bowl and the tank. If there is water remaining in the bottom of the tank, it can be used to help clean the tank. Clean the toilet with the Erase It for Bathrooms to remove those ugly marks. 

Next: scrub the tank with diluted Clean Ez or your all purpose cleaner to remove surface scum and mold. Then dampen the SOS pad giving the tank a good scrub. 

Finally using a dampened old cloth, wipe down the tank and do a final rinse with the sponge. Finish by using the sponge to remove any water in the bottom of the tank. 

     If you want to make toilet bowl cleaning a breeze in the future, dry the inside of the toilet before you let the water back in. Grab your bottle of Advantage spraying the inside of the toilet. Wipe it around to spread evenly. Let that set 5 minutes and allow the water back in the tank. Advantage contains polymers, which make surfaces slick so nothing sticks. Oh is cleaning a toilet easy when it is waxed. 

Kitchen disposal drains. I don't like using toxic drain openers, most of which will damage disposals.  I don't like toxic cleaners period. So how do you keep your drain clear and not smelling like last night's fish? Easy - head to a pet store to buy Nature's Miracle. It is an enzyme product used for removing fecal and urine matter from carpet and furniture and it works. Those enzymes "eat" away at bacteria, any bacteria whether it's in the carpet or your drain. Pour a cup of it into all your drains once a month at night before bed to keep them running clear and get rid of those toxic drain openers.  

     Now back to the kitchen disposal. Purchase a brush made for cleaning bottles. Dampen it with CleanEz or your all purpose cleaner and scrub away. A nylon scrub pad like the blue ones you find at grocery stores also does a fairly good job and will clean the blades a bit better than the tip of a bottle brush. 

Refrigerator coils. I was not a happy camper when I found out my refrigerator coils could not be cleaned with a brush or vacuum from either the front or the back. What were the designers thinking? Oh right. They are depending on my laziness to not clean those coils which means the refrigerator breaks down sooner which means I replace it more frequently. 

     Those coils must be cleaned a minimum of once a year preferable twice. If your coils cannot be reached with a vacuum cleaner or with a bottle brush then renting an air compressor is your only option. Please be kind to Mother Earth and clean the coils to extend the life of your refrigerator. Remove the back and blow the dust and dirt from the coils using a lower pressure setting. 

     While you have the compressor rented, it doesn't hurt to clean dryer hoses and vents. Move the washer and dryer out and give the floor a good cleaning as well. Use the same bottle brush to clean the drain pipes to prevent them from clogging. Yes pour a cup of Nature's Miracle down those drains after they have been cleaned. 

     Still have an hour of time left for the rental of your air compressor? Then blow the winter debris out of your gutters. Yes it is fast.  I've also used it to blow dust and dirt out from window enclosures and my sliding glass door. Call me lazy if you want, but if there is shortcut that makes life a bit easier yet still does a great job, I'm going to take advantage of it. 

     Speaking of window cleaning, use a dry sponge to clean the screens this spring rather than washing them, which only wastes water and time you can spend enjoying the wild flowers. We carry the dry sponges but you can also find them at pet stores when you go for your Nature's Miracle. They are great for removing pet hair from furniture. Do be sure to get our Benya for cleaning windows. It is streak free and leaves your windows so clear you can hardly tell the glass is there. And remember the rest of this month is FREE shipping with orders over $100, a $13 savings.
