Speaker 1 (00:32):
Well, it's the weekend. Welcome this hours brought to you
by Roto Ruter. You're at home with Carrie Salvan and
it's fall and that means smart home owners. Well, we're
preparing our homes for winter, especially they're plumbing and we
want to thank Roto Ruter Plumbing.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
And Water clean Up for sponsoring this hour of the show.
They're a quick reminders. Unscrew that garden hose. You'll be
ahead of the game. I know it's supposed to be frostproof,
but if your garden hose attached, then there's a water
in it. There probably is. You can run the risk
of having a water freeze and split the pipe and
the valve and have leaks and problems. So if you
(01:09):
need a service, call it is rotrouter dot com or
eight hundred get roto for fast, reliable plumbing service.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
All right, well, open up the phone lines. Happy to
take your calls on this weekend and chat a little
bit about well your home and problems you may see
or things that need to be fixed. It's eight hundred
eight two three eight two five five. The little tip
too is I had a couple of calls yesterday. We
were talking about smells and homes and different things like that,
(01:41):
and especially maybe in a basement area. If you have
a basement in your home, it's it's especially an unfinished basement.
A lot of times we're not down there much. Maybe
it's just a storage area. If it's fixed up, it's
probably not that big of a deal. But back maybe
where the utilities are with the water here is where
(02:01):
the furnace is.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
There's usually a floor drain, and you know, kind of
outside out of mind. In that floor drain, if it
doesn't have water in it, you're gonna get really strong
sewer smells. And so keeping water in that is water
(02:23):
in the trap of the drain which blocks sewer gas
during cooler months, that basement can be very very humid
in the summer, but very dry in the winter. And
if it's very dry, you get evaporation. You get evaporation
of that water from that drain, and then you're gonna
get smells. So just a quick tip if you are
(02:47):
maybe gonna head south or be gone for a while,
get a little mineral oil and put it in that
floor drain if it's usually dry and not taking the
condensation away with the air handler and putting water in
that drain. Again, putting a little coat of mineral oil
(03:08):
in there will be very beneficial and eliminate that smell.
And boy, I'll tell you what, if you've ever come
back from my home after being gone for a month
and that trap is dry, or even the trap and
a vanity bowl or even a toilet, that water evaporates
and that supercass comes in your home. It's a pungent,
we might say. So miner oil is the way you
(03:31):
stop that or keep the water in that trap. Not
something like you gotta go down and turn something on
every day. But if it's not being used out of side,
out of mind, or you're gone for a period of time,
that will evaporate. But by putting that mineril over the top,
that'll stop the evaporation. So I wanted to pass that
(03:53):
little tip along to you and encourage you to give
us a call. Love to talk to you about your
home again. It's a hundred eight two three eight two
five five. And if you got a nice sunny day,
even if it's a little chilly, might behoove you to
take that walk around home. We're always talking about it
and you'll find things, and especially this time of year
(04:16):
where we're in a transitional period of time. Whether you're
in Florida or Minnesota, the weather's changing and you're gonna
have a good day here and there, and maybe not
such a good day up north, but you'll eventually have
some good days. So my point being is walking around
(04:37):
and seeing, you know, kind of getting your home, kind
of getting your area around your home set for winter
and things to be looking for. One of the things
it's kind of an aggravation to me, and that is
when we talk about paint and we did it yesterday.
(04:58):
We're always talking about and freshening up, and that's wonderful,
but that's not the sole purpose of paint. It's a purpose.
It's a big purpose, and it's what most people focus on.
But really, when you get to a point where even
if you have the right color and you're just kind
of it looks good and you're kind of ignoring it
(05:19):
when you take that walk around the house, really what
you should be looking for is areas where the pain
is compromised. And what I mean by that is the
pain is cracked, maybe the pain is peeling, because what
that is a sign of is usually moisture. It's a
sign that there is a problem. And if there is moisture,
(05:43):
something is wrong. If it's gotten behind the paint film,
something is wrong. Water always wins, it tries to get out.
Depending on the type of paint, that bond can break
and that's when the peeling comes. So a lot of times,
take an example of around the door where we have
the trim molding around the entry door. You look down
(06:07):
at the base down by the stoop or the sidewalk
the step, and you see a little a foot up
from that wood on the jam of the door, the
paint is cracked and there's some that is flaking off,
and it's so so easy to ignore because it's not
(06:27):
a big, massive area. But if you stick your nose
in that a little bit and find out kind of
what's going on. And one of the first things I
would do with that type of paint that's peeling at
that locale is what kind of shape is that wooded,
Because if it's had a healthy dose of moisture over
(06:50):
the years enough so that that paint is actually peeling,
there's a good chance that wood is soft, it's got
dry rot, it's been wet, it's been drying, it's been wet,
it's been drying, a lot of movement, a lot of
you know, exposure to the weather, and then you got
(07:13):
maybe even sun beaten down our So you're gonna have
to get into really determining where that moisture is coming from.
So many of us we think right away, well it's
coming from the step. It's coming it's waking up through
the concrete and into that jam of that door, and
not always, not always. In fact, if you look at
(07:35):
it closely, and this is where some people make the mistake,
You look at it closely, and there's a gap, it
might be a quarter inch maybe even a little bit
more between that concrete and that door jam. Yeah, well
there's the problem. You know, it's raining and sitting on
a stoop, it's kind of rolling back into that crevice,
(07:57):
and it's rotting. The jam could be maybe maybe maybe not,
because really the reason that's offset a little bit is
so that the water can escape if water got behind
the jam. And I see so many people when they
attempt to fix this issue. Yeah, they'll scrape the paint off. Yeah,
(08:21):
they'll probably paint the jam and they'll calk that bottom.
And herein lies the problem that was an area for
not necessarily the water to wake up, though it could be.
And you can usually tell by which way that's stoop
is tilted. It should be tilted to drain off the
(08:41):
front a positive flow away from the house, not towards
the house. If it's towards the house, that is exactly
where the water may be coming in, and maybe calking
it is the only option. But as soon as you
calk it, you seal off the place where the water
can escape. If the water's getting behind a jam from above.
(09:02):
For instance, if you have a brick home and you're
missing mortar, water can get down behind that brick, go
all the way down, and you think that water is
entering from the bottom, but it's not. It's above you
or at the top of the trim moldings. Maybe that
isn't cocked against the brick, so water's getting down underneath that.
(09:23):
It's fine, it's way behind a jam. It's rotting the wood.
If you seal that base off, that water can never
get out. You'll actually create a dam down at the
base of the stoop and the wood and it'll hold
the water and you're going to have even more rot.
You will not have fixed anything. You have actually made
(09:45):
the problem worse. So when you have that area where
wood is close to concrete, or maybe it even appears
to be you know, just a little slither room, maybe
a quarter of an inch, it's really an escape mechanism
for the water. It's not really supposed to be clocked tightly.
(10:06):
And that's where a lot of people start to make
the mistakes. So don't look down, look up and do
a lot of uh looking at the mortars in the brick,
the window sill above the door. There's probably a window
up there somewhere. Just see if you can find where
that moisture is coming from, because that's going to be
the answer and how you fix it.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
All right, getting a bunch of gun around the home?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Happy to have you want? Uh? Somebody called it and
then asked the question, and good question, Well, how much
mineral oil do we put in there in that trap
or in that twilve to minimize evaporation or eliminated? It
doesn't really matter really what you're doing is you're taking
a harmless oil and you're coating the water to stop
(13:31):
the evaporation. So you know you want to coat the service.
I usually tell people, you know, four or five ounces
of water. It's probably plenty. If you use the whole bottle,
it's not gonna hurt anything. So you know, you know,
four or five ounces, just coat the surface of it.
You'll be able to see it, and that'll stop that
(13:52):
particular issue. Yesterday we got into this discussion and then
it prompted.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Me to kind of talking about it again. It's so important,
is we were talking about drains. If you're heading south
or going to warmer weather and putting a little mino
oil in there to keep sewer gas out, and of
course you're gonna shut off the water even if you're
not heading the south or not going to warmer weather.
(14:20):
Go down you usually maybe once every six months, and
shut off the main water.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
First of all, does everybody in your home know where
the shut off is? People in your home should know
where your utilities are. They should know where the circuit
breaker panel is, know how to shut off the water,
know where the gas line is, et cetera, et cetera,
but shut that off and make sure you can shut
(14:47):
it off, because if you happen to have an emergency,
let's say we get a pinhole in a piece of
copper pipe and you're well, you gotta shot off the water, right,
people don't know where to shut off the water. That's
a problem. Correct. If you go to shut off the
(15:07):
water and you can't shut that valve off because it's
coroda close, that's equally as big a problem. So really,
once or twice a year, just go down there and
shut the water off. Make sure that valve works. If
it doesn't, and we've talked about PB blaster, get some
PB blaster on there and see if you can get
(15:31):
it working again or you're going to have to replace
the valve. It is a huge safety device, and that's
the way you should think about it. And make sure
everybody knows where that is. And it's again in good functioning,
functioning spirit. When I was talking about getting that walk
around the house too, plenty of time weatherwise to address
(15:55):
some issues. We're not going to have all super cold
days even during winter months, and many parts of the country,
and if you've been and even in the northern reaches,
I mean where I'm at I'm not in the northern reaches,
but in the Midwest. You know, I have days in
the fifties and sixties, still a lot of cases all
the way to the end of the year. And if
(16:17):
we have a harsh winter, that could change tomorrow. But
you know, if we have a mild winter, we can
certainly have some nice weather. I bring that up because
an area that seems to be very vulnerable is the
winter time and concrete. And if it's been a very
hot summer or a very dry summer, I may have
(16:42):
even encouraged you not to patch cracks, not to patch
spawling on concrete, because when it's really hot, really dry,
it can you know, contact or adhesion of those products
in that kind of weather can be very challenging. If
that concrete's very hot and you use a wet patch
(17:05):
on there, it's going to evaporate a lot of the
moisture out of there, and you're not going to get
good bonding. So this time of year, especially going into
winter months, you want to make sure those cracks are
filled because we don't want snow and ice and water
laying on that surface and getting down into those cracks
and freezing and expanding and possibly causing some erosion, possibly
(17:30):
causing that crack to even become worse, And then of
course we want to make sure the driveway has been sealed.
A good sealer that's breathable, that's very functional in the
winter time, should be applied almost every three years, and
especially if you're in cold country where a lot of
(17:51):
road salt is used, because you're going to drag that
in on that concrete on your car. It's going to
drip or iceberg's gonna fall off and melt on that driveway,
and it's very caustic. It can do what they call spawling,
where that surface just pops away. So making those patches,
filling those cracks, getting that concrete sealed this time of year,
(18:16):
as long as it's above freezing, you can work with
those products and there the ceiling. If you get a
good breathable concrete sealer, it's very easy to use. You
don't have to use a roller, you don't have to
use a paintbrush. You can literally, at least in most
of them, you can put them in a tank sprayer
(18:36):
and all you're doing after you've cleaned that concrete is
you're lightly missing that cealing over the concrete, and it's
going to repel. It's not going to allow water to
sink into that concrete as deeply as it would if
it were not sealed. And it's breathable, so the moisture
from the earth underneath that slab is able to breathe through.
(19:00):
So you know, if you get a good day, I'd
take a good look at the concrete. All right, we're at.
Speaker 1 (19:05):

Welcome again, Gary. Always great to see, always great to

about and before we get into everything because it's holiday

Speaker 4 (22:28):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
But your products are so unique. They know they be
and the listeners know they work because that's talking about
it all the time. But tell me about the uniqueness
of Jaws well.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
And Gary, just to talk to that. We spoke as
we began this whole process. We wanted to make sure
people like the experience with the products, right, so we
made sure that they were going to function, they were
modern day and all those kind of things. But it
really is a modern day cleaning system for the modern
day home. We've designed the products to be safe for
all the newer surfaces in the homes are expensive. We
(23:02):
want to make sure they last and want to make
sure they get clean and make sure that we have
a safe home to live in so we don't have
fumes with our formulas and everything else. But at the
end of the day, it is a modern day cleaning
system that can do ninety five percent of whatever you
need in the home and really a great unique line.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Of products, and it's safe for the environment in a
number of ways. Another way is the container of the
product itself is reusable, and that's really unique.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Absolutely, Gary were thrown away billions of bottles to landfills
after one of use single use bottles. We can't do
that anymore. They're expensive to build, they're causing a real
plastic pollution issue on our planet, and they're trying to
get into the food streams is fish to humans, to whatever.
And so having a bottle that will really our bottle
will last you a lifetime. Gary, It's really designed for
(23:54):
you know, a thousand years if you take care of it.
And so it's a modern day, heavy duty, elegant bottle
that you're going to want to keep you in your
house for many many years to come.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Yep, and Mike cabinets at my home. I'll tell you
what I got, extra bottles. I've got fifty different cartridges,
and folks, we're going to tell you about a real
good deal you can get on the cartridges here in
a minute. But I love the reuse bottle. I mean,
I know it's twenty plus times.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Yep, they really hold up absolutely, Gary. The whole thing is,
you have water in your house. You don't need my water.
You don't need to ship water all.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Over the planet.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
That's right, that's expensive and wrong. Right, So just having
a reusable bottle, elegant bottle, longer term use bottle that
simply you're going to use my cartridge, Gary, right, And
all you're going to do is fill up the bottle
to the water line, which is kind of easy and
fun to do. You're going to sert that cartridge and
when you tighten down on the spray, yeah, wow, releases
(24:53):
the concentrate into the water. And now you've just made
your next bottle of Jaws. And so it's a real
easy thing to do. It's fun thing to do, it's
immediate thing to do. You know, having big bottles in
your cabinet.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
See when you're gonna run out too, I mean some
of these other sprays.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
You have no idea.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
And then you got the cartridges in your cabinet and
you're ready to go again.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
There you go. So you know they're small, they're about
the size of rolling nickels, right, and so they're really
small and easy to store and all those kinds of things.
And you know, so at the end of the day,
it's a more efficient, effective way of cleaning your home
and a way to reuse that bottle over and over again,
so we're not throwing it into landfills and discarding it.
You paid for it, why'd you throw it away?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
That's right? And you know, I'm a little slow study.
It took me a while to figure out that JAWS
stood for just add water system.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Oh well, that's okay, that's Gary, that's all right, that's good.
But really that's all you're doing.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Gary.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
You're gonna fill up your bottle with water to the
fill line. There's a fill line, real easy. Everything's color coordinated.
So if it's a bathroom cleaner, it has got a
cartridge and it's a purple product, it all kind of
goes together. But the same thing, Gary, real easy.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
You need to do that.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Slide it in, fill it up with water, drop it in,
and do it another million times if you like to.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I feel like I have. How many cartridges have you
made so far? I mean, I don't know. We've been
I've been talking about for ten plus years.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
You know, when I first started in this business, everything
was for mica. Everything was white, everything was this and that.
Now when you go into a commercial building, right, it's
granted it's marble, it's stainless steel. It's all the same
stuff we have in our homes.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Right. I agree, you have.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Big screen TVs and computer screens and all that stuff
you need to take care.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Of a lot of things need to be cleaned.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
A lot of things need to be cleaned. And so
we've sold over two hundred million cartridges to date to
commercial users who are not cleaning one mirror a day
or one TV a day, but fifty a day and
having a product that efficiently cleans because their expenses in
labor at home. What it does is cost to time.
(27:00):
Right in a commercial setting, it's costing them major dollars
in the labor they spend to get it cleaned. And
if it doesn't clean the way it's supposed to be
cleaned because they're being paid to clean it right, then
all day next day they're getting all these complaints from
their clients saying, hey, I'm paying you to clean my building,
(27:23):
but it doesn't look clean. So having products that don't
streak well work well on all these surfaces I perform
And when they're going into clean they have a million
different surfaces they have to clean, So having the variety
and the ability to clean all those different a glass cleaner.
To have a glass cleaner, it doesn't clean big screen TVs,
computer screens, iPads, iPhones. You know U V coded glass,
(27:46):
and I mean, if you have the wrong stuff, you're
going to screw it up.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
I'm telling you. The glass cleaner I used some last night.
I've had some refrigeration problems. I had some smudges on it.
The glass cleaner was there. I know it's pH neutral,
it's not going to mess anything up. Well, I sprayed
that on there. I use my blue microfiber flock that
comes with your caddies. Ye. And when I was finished,
it's like it polishes it. And I've said that before
(28:11):
about mirrors, using the glass clans or windows, it literally
feels like it polishes.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Yeah, no, no, So there you know again, we started
foundationally to make sure that we had modern day cleaners
that we're going to work beautifully, that weren't going to fume,
we're going to streak, We're going to do the cleaning
job the way you want it done. Won't hurt anything
in terms of what you have in your house or business.
And as a result, the training piece, whether it be
in your house, it's an easy thing for your own home.
(28:37):
If you're giving it as a gift, which we'll talk
about a little bit later, I don't care what they
have in their house, and whether it's bamboo floors or
hardwood floors or whatever. We have products to fit all
those needs.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Even granted leaves smudges all the time. And I know
that because I'm corrected a little bit. Sometimes after I
have breakfast. Do you ever clean up this grant? And
we have the grantit cleaner right there. And it's amazing
though that it would show smudges and stuff, and then
you clean it, it's like it looks brand new.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Oh and Gary, think about it. You spend a lot
of money making it look nice.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Right.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
You didn't buy for mica, you bought granite, right. And secondly,
the darker grandites are always harder to clean, not with
our stuff, but harder to clean not leave streaks behind.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Right.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
And if you use the wrong stuff on it, Look
at that granite a year from now versus the day
you bought it, you're gonna see that stone's gonna go
dull and you're going to destroy that. And you so
having the right products like the Jaws products to work,
like the grod. You use the granite cleaner, it's going
to going to clean, it's gonna polish, it does it's
gonna protect, yes, and it's gonna look maybe as high
(29:43):
as twenty five percent brighter depending on where you started
with it. So it really and it's got a wonderful
basal cucumber fragrance in it, so it's great. It's fun
to work with and the smell's great.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
And talk about the smells because people are worried about
off gassing and things like that. Absolutely, you mentioned how
safe your products are. Yeah, absolutely, so we have first
of all to speak to that. We go with minimal
fragrance values. We have one product or all purpose cleaner,
(30:15):
which has a lavender fragrance. Will to knock your socks
off because some people really like high fragrance products and
that lavender is very, very very Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
It's very refreshing.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
But the rest of them are kind of mild that way.
But we have Safer Choice certification. We went to a
third party. We spent a lot of money Gary going to.
We won their Partner of the Year ward two years
in a row running. We're not sure with this year
because they haven't announced yet, but we're hoping for three
years in a row. But what they do is the
EPA will come in and certify your products if all
(30:47):
of the ingredients that are going in there are safer chemistries.
And it's not just the ingredients, scarers the ingredients to
make up the ingredients that you need to prove out.
And then after you get all that work done, they
require you to perform as a clean up as well
as anything in the shelf. So you have the performance value,
you have the safety value. And we really trade in
why we don't need to be using bleach all the time.
(31:09):
We don't need to be using harsh chemicals. We don't.
We don't want them in our house. We don't need
them at ours.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Your cough don't use it. There you go there right. Yeah, Well,
I know you've got a whole line of products, and
I want to get to a couple of them. I
know I use them all the time, the cream cleanser,
I use the disinfect and I use the degreaser. So
we'll take a little break, we'll come back talk about
a few more products, and then we're going to talk
about a great sell you have during this time of year.

Cleans dot com if you'd like to check it out.
And Bruce, I know you how many different products you
have in your main line, Well, we have.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Eight products and we only need eight products because they
do they have range. So in that lineup you'll have
a floor cleaner, floor cleaner. I don't care what kind
of floor you have, granite, marble, stainless steel, tile, and
ground linoleum. It's the cultured products. Whatever, it works great
on all of them will not leave streaks behind. Nothing
worse than you're doing all that work with mopping and
(34:48):
then you look back and you see streaks behind us,
and that's slippery. The streaks you typically see are cleaners
that are being left on the floor and when it
gets wet, it gets slippery. Then we also have the disinfectant,
so the disinfect it is a neutral product. It has
a million different claims to it from different bacteries, a
bunch of size. It's using medical facilities all over the world,
(35:08):
it's using subs and I mean it's really a very
environmentally safe product to work with. It destroys the bacteria
that's supposed to destroy and it works great. Then we
also have a foaming bathroom cleaner designed for all kinds
of bathroom surfaces and grate on the glass doors and
all that other stuff. You spray it in there. You
don't have to run for your life because you're choking
(35:29):
like you do with half of the other products that
are out there. We have a wonderful kitchen degreas here again,
I don't care you know whether you got granite, marble,
stainless steel, you're cooking class top ranges.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
It's awesome.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
There you go there, you go so really right throughout there,
grills and all that kind of stuff. Then we also
have an all purpose cleaner one thousand and one cleaner
designed for all kinds of activities. It doesn't matter what
you want it to clean, it will clean it and
we'll do a great job on it. And that's the
one I always got that high leverage of fragrance. Yes,
And then you have the granite, which we already talked about,
(36:01):
which you know, a nice polishing agent along with your
granite to keep your stone looking great years to come.
And not destroy it in the year because it oh yeah,
it goes bad. We talked about the glass cleaner. We
have a cream cleanser, which I know you love.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Okay, I like that too. Yeah, And if you've tried
everything else in your beg of tricks, get the Jaws
cream cleanser. There you go, it'll get it done.
Speaker 4 (36:25):
No, it's a phenomenal product. Eighty four percent of the
hotels in the world use it to supplement their cleaning process. Yeah,
so it's a really so the man, it's a phenomenal
product and all that good stuff.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Well, my house is filled of the products, and I
know you've got a really neat little caddy there to
carry the different ones around, which, by the way, is
very handy. And when you first brought one in, I went, really,
you're gonna have a caddy and it's like, oh my gosh,
it's awesome.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
Well it holds at least five products.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Yeah, it does.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
You can organize it, put it all one place. You
don't have your cleaners every which way that you're trying
to figure out where is this one, where's that one.
It also has a spot in there for eight cartridges,
so it has like a little holster if you're to
call it there. Yeah, So they're all right there. So
when you get when you're done with that bottle and
you need to refill it with water and insert the
cartridge there, you go have additional ones right there in
(37:16):
the caddy again, but you can just pick it up
and walk with it. And the one product we didn't
talk about was a dish spray.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Oh yeah, so tell me about that, and a lot
of people have asked about it.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
It's a big deal. Is becoming a big deal, you know, Dawn.
You know PNG is telling you all the years, forty
fifty years you've been using their stuff to fill up
your sink with water, dump the stuff in there, trying
to figure out how much to dump in and whatever,
and you get different kind of results there. Right, You
simply spray your spray your dirty beer glass, spray your
(37:49):
dirty dish, spray your utensil, spray it and we give
you a nice brush to go with it, Jiicce Jaws
brush ice that comes along with it. But all you'll
do is you'll spray it, you'll use the brush on it,
you'll rinse it, you'll try it and put it back
in the cabin and Therefore, it's not building garbage in
your in your dishwasher. You don't have a sink full
of whatever wasted.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Do you feel that some people just don't believe that
till they try.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
It, and when they do, they love it.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
They love sold.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
When people, hey, we started this before they started and
they say, tell told me this is something you need
to try, and I said, you're crazy.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Yeah, yeah, no, I was just saying, I don't do.
Speaker 4 (38:28):
It anywhere in the way. I don't have fifteen kids
running around the family anymore at the house, and so
getting it done right away. I'm a neat fake anyway,
So getting it done. And Gail loves the fact that
I do it that way because my dishes are clean
and done when we're done, and I do hers.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Too, And it's Jaws dishpray, Jaws dispray and again. Jawscleans
dot com is the website you can if you want
to just try it. Maybe you don't believe leave what
we're saying, but I'm telling you, once tried, it's sold.
You don't need to be sold. Just try it once
you'll be sold. So and then back to the caddy
because we're covering everything. It's holiday time, it's you know,
(39:06):
a lot more visitors inside our house or things get
a little dirtier, and that that caddy is just wonderful,
just organizes everything. And you got a special on that, well,
we do.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
We have it both ways. We started, we offer you
a caddy and the caddy that we put together so
you don't have to mess with it, you don't have
to worry about it. Just go online. They're fifty bucks.
A little promotion going on now, so you'll hear about
that in a minute. But it's just fifty dollars for
eight different you know, four different products, eight cartridges, so
you have really eight bottles of cleaner. Plus we put
(39:36):
the dispray in there as a freebie, uhhah, because it's Thanksgiving.
We're going to do a lot more and holiday season,
so we're going to give them a little treat there.
But at the end of the day, we have a
caddy that will have a disinfectant, which we're going into
the flu season. We're going to have a lot of
people in and out of our houses. Having the ability
to disinfect when you clean, it's important we have the
(39:59):
kitchen degrease because you could be doing a lot of
cooking and baking and all those kind of things. You know,
spray your.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
Baked pants, you and I do, and it gets burned on.
Just spray it on. I put a little paper towel
over it. S's or ten minutes. You wipe it away.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
It just wipes away.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
You know.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
We don't need a hammer and chisel to get all
that stuff off anymore, which is tough under pots and pans.
And then we have the glass cleaner because you have
all kinds of mirrors and things along those lines you
need to clean and big screen TVs. You got football
games going on and basketball coming and I want to
caution and Hallmark don't want to forget about Hallmark. You
want to be able to see what's going on on
(40:36):
the TV screen, and so get those TV screens cleaned.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
And I want to caution everyone that's only with the
Jaws class clean. Oh, absolutely don't use another glass cleaner
on the TV screen because you screw up the screen.
That's a very unique product.
Speaker 4 (40:51):
It is very unique and it's not eateen dollars for
a little while that you could run take it speacause
of my cartridge, and it really does. There's alcohol, amoni
or brutle in there to mess up those screens and
won't dry them out, It won't hurt them. It will
just make them look better. But at the end of
the day, that's really a great product there. And then
the bathroom cleaner. So everybody has a bathroom, you know,
(41:11):
they have the bathroom these come clean that comes in
the kit fifty bucks.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
All right, and you also have these other products, so
can you mix.
Speaker 4 (41:19):
And you yeah, so your listeners, we listen. We listened,
and your listeners are smart, all right, and so we
appreciate hearing these comments. They said, can we build our own?
You know, I know you put in there what you
think we would. We all have our fans, but everybody
has their own favorites. They have different houses, they have
different clients. Got to get their glass clean, they got
(41:41):
to get the class clear. There you go. So we
said build your own. Okay, So for fifty bucks, build
your own. You figure figure out which four of the
products go on jawscleans dot com. Look at the lineup
of products, you pick your four, pick four excellent.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
So maybe you don't want the bathroom clear, maybe want
the hardwood floor cleaner wap.
Speaker 4 (41:58):
Absolutely turn right. Yeah, So that way, it gives them
a chance. A lot of people give these as gifts.
A lot of people give them to customers. Things along
those lines. Rather than a pair of socks are gonna
get dirty in a week and you can lose one half.
