Dear Mr. Wirth,
My children call me "Mrs. Clean." It's a title that is deserved thought I would prefer other more dignified designations.

Several months ago while visiting my youngest son in Old Town, Alexandria, VA I happened to visit Restoration Hardware. It's a very interesting store-well laid out with an array of useful and attractive merchandise. I asked a clerk about several cleaning products. He referred me to their resident expert who advised me to purchase Ishy Fishy™ Soap Dope™ along with silver polish, leather conditioner and various other items. I never had heard of Ishy Fishy™ Soap Dope™ before.

My stone living room fireplace was covered with soot. The stones had not been cleaned for over 20 years. I truly didn't know how to take care of this problem and hiring someone locally to clean proved to be an impossibility. So with a scrub brush and your product in hand, I began to tackle this job. The results were fabulous! From there with Ishy Fishy™ Soap Dope™ and a rag in hand I attacked scuff marks on the kitchen floor, the inside of the oven in the door areas where the self-cleaner does not work, painted areas around the heating and air conditioning vents in various rooms, and , frankly, in other places that were impervious to other cleaning products in the past. Ishy Fishy™ Soap Dope™ cleaned everything and cleaned it well.

You manufacture an outstanding product. If your company ever goes public, I plan to become one of the first stockholders.

Perhaps Ishy Fishy™ Soap Dope™ is not an elegant gift to send to friends but that hasn't stopped my doing so. As long as you keep making Ishy Fishy™ Soap Dope™, I'll be a steady customer.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Joan B.
