At the risk of perhaps being off topic, I have to post that after almost thinking I would have to replace our glass shower door down in Florida, I found something that worked AWESOMELY. I tried everything, lime-away, etc,etc. but our shower door looked awful.
A neighbor bet me dinner out that her stuff would make it look brand new with just one wipe. I'm a VERY cynical guy, so I took the bet. I'm glad to say I lost. Her stuff was called "Crust-buster" made by Conklin products. Made the shower door look brand new. Just thought I'd pass it along. I do not know what it is about Florida shower doors.....??

Where do you buy that, Frank? I found their website and can order it online, but just wondered if it is sold in stores nearby. Thank you.

Talk about quirk, my wife would go crazy cleaning the house the day before the cleaning lady would come...she didn`t want her to think we where dirty...

We too do some "straightening up":) before the cleaning ladies (2) come to the house every other week.

I remember my mother doing this every time before she had some local Minneapolis house cleaning company come out to the house. It drove my dad crazy! I didn't quite understand it either. It seemed a little unnecessary, but it seems like other people do it as well!

Did anybody find where to purchase this product? I sure would like to know.

Conklin products appear to be only available from "Independent Business Owners" rather than retail outlets. Sounds kind of like Amway type distribution. I think the closest IBO to TV was in Sanford, fl

faithfulfrank 08-28-2011 05:12 PM

The above post is true, but you can buy their stuff from their website, www.conklin.com.

Again, I rarely ever endorse anything like this, and I have NO stake in this company or anything. I only mentioned it because it seemed when I bought my Florida home, both my glass shower doors were awful, and nothing seemed to work except this stuff. Then it seemed like other folks down there had the same problem. Never had this problem up here in NY.

Please do not think I'm a dealer or benefit in this in any way. I don't.

Respectfully, Frank

House cleaners
 
I am sure this subject has been beaten to death, but I will ask again. I have a 3 bedroom 2 bath CYV and want to find a reliable company to routinely clean my home. We have no carpeting in the home. I am considering contacting Testerman's Ultrasonic blind cleaning to (obviously) clean my blinds and verticals as well. Does anyone have experience with this service? I would appreciate referrals regarding house cleaners. Thanks

Hi,

I'm sorry I have no experience with Testerman's, but have you tried looking for a house cleaning company on Angie's List? My sister has had good luck with the Seattle house cleaning company she uses. I think all the companies are reviewed by their customers so that might give you an idea as to who might be the best for the job. Also, depending on your location, Angie's List is in a lot of cities now.

Hope that helps!

I can recommend Luke's "Kleaning House, KleaningHouse@Embarqmail.com 352-636-1091.

I've also used Susan's "Hometown Cleaning Services", 245-6736 or 352-454-4031 (Susan's Cell). They have a website which lists prices.

If you use either of these services, please PM me and let me know how you like the service.

Like Graciegirl, I prefer to clean my own home. But I now find it delightful to have someone else do the "nasty jobs" twice a month ... like bathrooms, floors and windows,

Bless you and Gracie.. I have never in my entire life had any interest in cleaning my own home. Too busy when I was working and too lazy now!

House Cleaners
 
Six weeks ago I tried one cleaning service and wasn't overly impressed with them(used them twice). Two weeks ago I used UltraKleanz and was very pleased with the job they did. They will be back again this week. (Yeah). I agree with ladydoc - I have too many things going on in TV - I don't want to spend the time cleaning my house.

Does ultrakleanz do windows?
