Dear ,

About 90 minutes ago I blasted out my newsletter.

Boy, did I open up a Can o' Worms!

Here's the list:

1. Jack wanted to know how in the world to unclog that bath sink drain.

DUH! It would help if I put in the link to the How to Clear a Clogged Bath Sink Drain.

2. Kim wanted to know how Winnifred got such AMAZING results on her house using Stain Solver.

Well, Winnifred did the following:


She mixed one cup of Stain Solver per gallon of HOT tap water.

Winnifred's husband or helper STIRRED the powder in the hot water until it dissolved then added it to the yellow garden pump sprayer you see in the Before photo.

The solution was sprayed liberally on the DRY wood siding working in the SHADE and on an overcast cool day if possible.

The solution was left to soak in for at least 15 minutes. Add more solution if it looks like it's drying.

At the end of the wait period, the helper or Winnifred hosed down the siding to get those results.

Amazing indeed and SIMPLE!

You can do the SAME METHOD on any house siding: vinyl, wood, aluminum, fiber cement, etc.

WARNING:  Do NOT use Stain Solver on REDWOOD. 

Any oxygen bleach can darken redwood.

3. Marcie wanted to know how much Winnifred used to clean her house.

Good question Marcie. There are many variables. 

Each 2.2 pounds of Stain Solver powder makes FIVE GALLONS of solution.

So, how far can you get five gallons to go? It goes much farther on vinyl siding than dry porous wood.

Unless you live in a tiny cabin, you'll need at least 9.2 pounds to clean a house - maybe more.

If you have leftover Stain Solver powder, it can be used on countless other cleaning projects.

4. Brad wanted to know how much Stain Solver to use to help septic tanks.

I flush one half cup - 4 ounces - down my toilet  once a week. I flush the toilet TWICE to make sure all the powder makes it to the tank.

I'll explain NEXT WEEK how the Stain Solver HELPS the beneficial bacteria in the tank.

Sorry about putting all those worms in your Inbox!
