Latest News
Yesterday, May 1, 2010 my son and I drove 15.5 hours from NH to
Cincinnati, OH. He finished his second year of college the day
before and came back to Cincinnati to be with many of his high
school buddies.
It's spring, and wow were the bugs out. They were especially brutal
through upstate New York. It reminded me of the opening few minutes
of the movie Men in Black where that alien smuggler was driving
that van in the desert night.
Overnight here in Cincinnati, it rained. It was raining when I got
up. That was a blessing for bug removal as the constant saturation
and humidity rehydrated the bug carcasses.
I went outdoors in a light rain with my dog Lady about an hour ago,
she love chasing the stream of water from the hose, to take
advantage of this gift from Mother Nature. With a little soapy
water and a sponge, I got rid of all the bug bodies with very
little effort.
This is pretty much the way you can get rid of many stains. You
just need to rehydrate the dried deposit. Rehydrate simply means
adding water back into the mix. Some things don't rehydrate well.
In those cases, you need my Stain Solver. More on that below.
All too often I get a desperate email from a person who was
impatient and ruined a surface. Usually the damage happens by
immediately scrubbing the stain instead of allowing water to
naturally soften it. This aggressive behavior, mixed with an
abrasive cleaner, can spell disaster for counter tops, acrylic
showers and tubs, painted surfaces, even glass.
I'll often use a paper towel to rehydrate a stain. I saturate the
towel with water and then lay it on top of the stain. I push the
towel against the surface like wallpaper. You can do this on
vertical surfaces as well as flat. Let it soak for 30 minutes or an
hour. Don't do this on surfaces harmed by water.
Deck Sealer Test
In the last issue I talked about how I was going to do a test of
three deck sealers on my cedar boat dock. I applied the sealers on
Friday, and taped the video doing it!
I'm hoping the video will be post produced this weekend, so I can
share it next week. Wait until you see this video. The difference
between the two *clear* sealers was like night and day. I also had
a little fun in the video. Good thing I don't make my money as a
comedian. I'd be living in a cardboard hovel.
Mountain Lion
Last weekend I met a neighbor who lives very close to the woods I
own in NH. He showed me photos of mountain lion tracks in the snow
taken not far from my property. Yikes! I thought those bad boys
were west of the Mississippi!
A quick Google search shows that these beasts are absolutely being
spotted east of the Mississippi. Read this six-year-old story from
USA Today.
Overstock Stain Solver Sale
Last Thursday I told you about the mistake we made in packing too
many four-pound boxes of Stain Solver for the huge spring sale. I
MUST get these overstock items out of the new warehouse.
Acckkkk! You can save 20 percent off the normal price, but only
until Tuesday May 4th at midnight Eastern Time.

Overstock Stain Solver Sale
Last Thursday I told you about the mistake we made in packing too

MUST get these overstock items out of the new warehouse.
Acckkkk! You can save 20 percent off the normal price, but only

I used the Stain Solver to clean my dock before I shot the videos about the deck
sealer. I use it in my laundry. You may be a person who's used it
to clean floor tile grout.
On Thursday when I announced the sale, I got inundated with
questions about what does it clean. Bottom Line: Stain Solver
cleans anything that's water washable.
A man from California asked if it would clean dog *poop* from a new
white carpet. My answer, " ... in about five seconds!" Yes, it can
take stains out of carpets in seconds. I cleaned numerous stains
from my daughter's carpet back in March. It gets rid of red wine
stains, grape juice, Kool-Aid, orange and red cream soda, etc.
One customer I talked with on the phone the past few days told me
how it completely restored upholstered chairs the arms of which had
gotten soiled.
I urge you to act now. I honestly have no idea when the next Stain
Solver promotion will be. This sale only happened because we made a
mistake, one that I'm pretty sure will never happen again.
Oh, and please read this if you're a new subscriber and get torqued
