msodist Back From Vacation And Now Shipping Out Orders

MSO Distributing is shipping out orders as usual.

The vacation was great. Nice weather too. What a relief to get away even for a short time.

I have to admit I missed some of the usual daily activity though. It took about three or four days just to let it go. But...

Orders are now shipping again and we're handling things (hopefully well) as usual. :)

msodist Cleaning your Washing Machine

Do you ever open the door or lid of your washing machine expecting the smell of freshly washed clothes but are instead met by the smell of mold and dampness?


Smelly washing machines are not only unpleasant but they can also transfer bad smells to clothes, meaning they would have to be rewashed wasting valuable time and money.


Washing machines omitting bad odors are often the result of a build up of bacteria, normally resulting…

msodist Securing an acid spill

***NOTE: This article appeared in the UK and shows another interesting use for Dri-Pak Soda Crystals.***



Every company knows that when dealing with substances hazardous to health, it is essential to have control measures in place to deal with every eventuality. This is no more essential than in the case of companies’ dealing with battery acid, and as such, many companies have traditionally held a stock pile of Soda Ash in case of a spill. However, Soda Crystals, also know as Washing… Continue

msodist Living with limescale

I came across the following blog post about a guy contending with limescale.

Some people probably do not even know what limescale is.

The following post by Dave Gorman, rather than being technical, gives a personal account of what it is like to live with limescale. (Hint: what helps him a bit is Soda Crystals!)

msodist Price increases

It's one of those facts of life things. Rising prices.



We've just raised the price of Soap Flakes and have also passed along some recent shipping increases as well...



Soap Flakes prices haven't changed since 2004. And believe me, costs for almost everything related to our business have gone up.



In the past, we've passed along shipping cost increases to reflect higher postage and shipping rates, which as you may know, the carriers adjust each… Continue

msodist Cudi Soap Flakes

Kid Cudi has a new music video that uses a generic background of soap flakes boxes.



It isn't the DP brand of Soap Flakes of course but it is very surprising to see soap flakes in a pop culture use...and featured so prominently...



Not exactly a "work safe" video with girls dancing in bikinis and so on, but it's a fun song.



Click here for the Cudi Soap Flakes video on Youtube watch it in high… Continue

msodist The Joy of Green Cleaning

Leslie Reichert, author of The Joy of Green Cleaning, travels and teaches as a "cleaning coach".

Peter Getting rid of the soap scum by adding more washing soda

I'm making my own laundry soap, and information is hard to come by on formulas. The base formula is soap flakes, washing soda (known by many other names, disodium carbonate, soda ash), and borax.



I thought soap scum was just what you had to suffer through, but no more. By increasing the washing soda, by a tablespoon or doubling it, until the scum disappears. It's the water hardness that determines how much you need to add. The water contains calcium and magnesium atoms, "hardness",… Continue

msodist Bulk Soap Powder and Soap Flakes, and new temporary package sizes

Hi,



Just posted a video yesterday on the MSO website explaining what we are doing now that we've sold out of both the 1 lb. bags and 1 lb. boxes of Soap Flakes. Don't worry, we still have plenty of soap in stock, just not in the 1 lb. packages...



1 lb. packages will be re-stocked as quickly as possible.



The original webpage and video is here...…

msodist When are the new Soap Flakes in bags going to be available?

Have you ever had one problem lead to another? And then to another? That's kind of what's been going on around here.



It's a long story so buckle yourself in. :)



We actually placed an order--or at least tried to place an order--for more Soap Flakes in 1 lb. bags back in October 2007. To step back a little, all the way to January 2007, is probably where the story truly begins.



With the exception of one or two of our Soap Flakes imports, every import has arrived… Continue

msodist Washing Clothes in Cold Water

In most cases, washing clothes in cold water reduces the effectiveness of soap or detergent, although we've had one report where a dirty sailing jacket cleaned up just fine using cold water and Soap Flakes. Still, I'd avoid using cold, cold water unless that's all you have.



This excerpt from a blog article describes cold water washing in a little more technical detail which I found interesting...…
