Alma-Clean in Square Bottles – Wow!

Square Bottles – Wow! – Yes, that’s meant to be humor.

We had such good sales of Alma-Clean this season that we ran through all one hundred of our 8 fluid ounce round bottles. Admittedly, that is a good problem to have. We had another hundred square bottles however, so we modified our labels to work on them until we get more round bottles in-stock. Same stuff, same size, just a different bottle. I can’t imagine anyone really cares one way or the other, but if you do have a preference I would be curious to know.

We did take the opportunity to note on the side of the “new” label that Alma-Clean is great for freshening scarves and knit caps – just a capful in a sink of cool water is all it takes. Soak, rinse, and hang to dry.

I love winter because I get to wear all the nice scarves I have, but they inevitably need a good freshening, even for a soapman.

Thank you all for your business this year!

Oh, and yes, I take all the photos here, including the bad staging. You are all kind to never make fun of it… although you can if you want! I make fun of everything!

Alma-Clean Now Offered in Thieves Blend!

When doing our original formulating and testing of Alma-Clean in 2018, our own Thieves blend (formula #4) was one of the original scents that went out. It tested well, but in the interest of keeping things simple I chose to offer Alma-Clean initially in two choices: Original Tea Tree, and Basil & Thyme. Both are about equally popular, even if most customers have a definite preference for one or the other.

While taking orders this season however I had some unexpected queries of, “What happened to the Thieves?” In truth I had some on the shelf that I had held back for special requests, and we had all the oils necessary to make more. So we generated a “Thieves Blend” label, got some bottled, and were pleased to fill these orders.

Alma-Clean Thieves Blend – has now officially been listed for sale as well. Ho ho ho!

Thank you for your business, and Merry Christmas!

Last Day of 2018

Well, it’s now almost 4:00 in the morning on the last day of the year, and I am wondering, where did the year go?

The website is finally up-to-date. It doesn’t mean there is not still plenty to do, but at least it is functional again and has most of our current soaps listed with updated pictures. Now it’s time to get busy pouring more soap! But then that’s kind of the fun part.

Please take a look around. We are low on many soaps after the Christmas holidays, but there are still good soaps to choose from. Also please take a look at the Alma-Clean. We have lots of that ready to go, and it is good stuff!

This page is open for questions and comments although I think you have to register first, which only takes a minute. I will always try to respond within a few hours.

Happy New Year’s Eve!
