Tiles that Change Color

Marcia came to my website overnight. She had a very perplexing problem with the tile in her shower.

They change color unintentionally.

Not being able to discover the answer from pros in her area, she turned to me.

I knew EXACTLY what was going on.

Scan my past column about Changing Tile Grout Color and go to the COMMENTS under the column to see Marcia's problem. YOU MAY HAVE IT TOO!

Then read my reply to her comment.

Stain Solver Facts

Now that didn't come out right.

What I was trying to say was the relationship between me and Stain Solver. Some seem to think I'm a paid spokesperson or I pimp their products you see it so often here in the newsletter.

Each week there are many new subscribers on this list and you may be one that doesn't know the heritage of Stain Solver.

Here are some Fast Facts about Stain Solver:

• Kathy, my wife, and I OWN Stain Solver.

• We started Stain Solver in 1996!

• Stain Solver is one of but a few Certified organic multi-purpose cleaners

• Stain Solver is Made in the USA with USA ingredients!

• Stain Solver is almost too good to be true

Just read what Joe S. from Long Island, NY told me a week ago:

"On a positive note, I've been meaning to write to you for some time about your Stain Solver. I bought a sample size during one of your sales not too long ago, and Wow!  I can't begin to describe how blown away I've been at this little "miracle" product.

I'm a skeptic.  After seeing many of the before and after photos during your last Treasure Hunt I bought the sampler to try on an old carpet pet stain.  Shortly after we brought home a new puppy she got into a restricted area with new carpeting and had a quite an  accident.

We tried several good carpet products and came close to clean, but it was never the same.  Now, Tim, that stain was nearly two years old.  I figured this would be a true test.  Stain Solver removed the stain -- completely -- in only one easy application.  I was sold on it immediately!

In fact, I was so impressed with Stain Solver I spent that entire weekend going around my home just looking for things just to try it on.  An old golf hat with sweat and mud stains: good as new.  Grandmothers old curtains: good as new. A metal coffee carafe with deep coffee stains: good as new.  And a few other smaller jobs, all 100% successful.  I would have gone on, but the small jar ran out.

(By the way, your online instructions and tips are great.  It makes using Stain Solver so easy.)

I have rarely come across a product that does exactly what it claims, is as easy to use, and is so economical.  Needless to say, I've also never been more satisfied.  Your claims are 100%, so I guess if someone ever accuses you of "shilling" for this product, please keep doing it!

I'll be ordering your largest tub soon for sure."

Thanks Joe for sharing that!
