I've always appreciated the honesty of your posts, even when they haven't been what other shareholders like to hear. For that reason alone I'd really like to see if you would be willing to order some Clean-1 spray bottles and have them compared to what is currently being used by the military for various cleaning chores. I know the results would be reported objectively and give other purchasers a better idea on what to expect from the product.
Thanks in advance if you can.
Scup-
Sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday. I haven't been by any of the Orlando area locations recently, so I called Star Scenic Supply this morning to check on availability of Clean-1 in gallon size. They no longer carry the gallon size and he checked the computer to see if he could order it for me, but said he couldn't because Lancaster (their supplier) doesn't stock it. He said the 1000+ "isn't flying off the shelf" but it's selling at a steady pace. He feels the lack of advertising is what really keeps it from selling even better. So I guess what has been said on this board repeatedly was verified in the mind of this supplier; when more people are made aware of this/these products, it will be a totally different ballgame.

I've been using the Winning Brands products for several years now and they are the best in my opinion. The label on Clean1 says it is designed as a " hard surface cleaner ". It also can be diluted if you buy the gallon; it even recommends the diluting strength for various cleaning jobs. Like the earlier poster said, from his experience, it works great with a pressure washer! So if you have a carpet or clothing stain, you would use 1000+, not Clean1; but you could use either in many cleaning situation.
Dirty Dave and Scup are the best sources for finding out what these products can and will do. Conduct your own tests and you will find they are completely honest guys and it's not hype to sell stock, in my opinion.
I've bought this stock as high as .043, but I love the products; and one day believe I will love the stock price!
Great job by Scup and Dirty once again; but I think you guys are overly sensitive to the comments by TH.
I think she would have been fine if it was described as a "pre-arranged meeting with an unscripted dialogue", or something along those lines.
She loves the products, you guys love the products, there's just a huge difference of opinion of the CEO and how he does his job. I really believe she appreciates you guys and the job you do promoting the product! I know I do.

I for one liked your position as a mod. Like Trusting Him, I'm a huge fan of the products, but don't always like the direction of the stock. I think a balance of pro and con is always a good situation. Hope it was just a glitch and we see you back soon.
It's been a long time since I've posted, but if I recall from the original board, Rooster doesn't partake of alcohol, so fix him something more appropriate Dustmoff.
To keep things on topic...Great work these last couple years Captain Billy! All my best to you and the crew.

Yes, I've purchased Winning Colours at three of the Orlando locations, Star Scenic Supply,Artco, and Sherwin Williams.
The first two had good on hand inventory, the large bottle I bought at Sherwin Williams was the last one they had. I haven't gone back to see if they re-stocked or not.
It's good to see you back, even if it is less frequently than in the past. I know I would love to see the answers to the questions you posted. I'm a huge supporter of the products,( I use three on a regular basis) but I have been disappointed with the stock performance during many periods of supposedly "great news!
Looking forward to the CC.
Have a great week everyone.
I hope you had a great vacation Rocket! I think most of the posters here need to take some time off and enjoy themselves; too much personal agenda, not enough objectivity. IMO

I just couldn't resist, so I ordered 2 of the DRTV specials:
Conf.# HD10014254.
Now I've purchased Winning Brands products from 7 different locations; 4 websites: Pearsons, Ecogeeks, The hardwarecity, Drtv.
3 local (Orlando): Star Scenic Supply, Artco, and Sherwin Williams.
I'm definitely hooked on the products!
I wish I needed more Winning Colours right now, but I have a pretty good amount on hand right now; however, I did order 5 more bottles of Kind Laundry detergent this morning from Pearsons. I think it all helps in the big picture.
I completely agree on both counts: great video..very nice garage!
Congratulations Scup and Dirty Dave; well deserved and great choice for our new "T.V.Ambassadors".
Have you ever seen the aftermath of a woman who has just colored her hair? The stains on the face along the hairline and around the eyebrows are frightening, but nothing Winning Colours can't take care of in an effective gentle way. Just a thought.
I just checked out one of the new locations in Orlando, Artco.
They had a case of the small bottles on the counter, and after I asked about the larger size, they showed me where they were on the shelf. I was the first to buy the larger bottles and they had a problem with the SCU not scanning correctly. After a few trips to the back of the store to talk to the book-keeper, it finally scanned and the clerk said " That will be 42 dollars" and whatever change. I asked If he could double check that price, ( I was only buying 2 bottles!) He came back and apologized and said they were 10.99 ea. for the large and 3.99 for the small. I told him I could live with that. I talked it up with him as much as I could, without appearing pushy, and before I left he promised to use it on some carpet stains in the store!
frankieboy- I just got a $10 gift certificate from EcoGeeks for being a customer and used it to get 3 bottles of Kind! Maybe you will get the same offer in the next few days.
A very Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday to all the great contributors to this board, and the silent supporters who choose not to post here.
Everyone has their opinion on stocks, PR"s,CEO"s etc... and most are valid if kept in proper context.
With apologies to Louisa (it's clear how you feel about these little PR's and I usually agree) I honestly feel this PR was put out more as a Thank-you to Scup and Dirty for all their hard work, than just simply letting the public at large know we are in Rhode Island. They are certainly deserving of a little recognition from the company, and I applaud all their work.
TH, You have support from many posters here, and your opinion is always valued by me, and I'm sure most other board readers and contributors.
I couldn't agree more. That describes my feelings as well; and I haven't forgotten how much Soapy has done in the past, even though he rarely posts here anymore.
Thanks for the report Harley53. That's great to hear. It's doing well here in Orlando at Star Scenic Supply also.
I had to buy those 7000 to close us even. I don't usually do that, but I hated to see those low sales of the day right at the end.
Where did you come from? Are you on the right board?
The sweepstakes excludes Florida and New York I believe.. at least I'm sure about Florida. That is why it is not displayed in the Orlando location.
I really like that new Store Locator page. Not only Cindy, but the ability to suggest a store and have the company contact them... that is great.
Looking for a great wrap up to July and a bigger August!
I use it as a booster in my liquid hand soap, my dish washing detergent, and laundry. I use it for every day cleaning in a spray bottle diluted 10:1.
I'm on my 3rd quart of Winning Brands this year...in case it wasn't just a rhetorical question.
Another brick in Orlando!
I went on the store locator yesterday and there was a store in Orlando!!(32804) I went today to check it out and it is an independent paint and sundries supply store. The owner wasn't in so I had a chat with the clerk. He said one of their Reps showed them the product and they really like it. The clerk is also a user and he loves it; he's amazed it works on oil based paint like it does, yet so skin and Eco-friendly.
They have the quart and 4oz. bottles on the counter by the check-out with the carpet demo(blue paint stripe on cream carpet with clean spot in middle). They also have the rolling cart rack right in front of the entrance with quart size Winning Colours and quart size Clean-1. The clerk apologized for not having the gallon size of Clean-1 in stock, but the City of Orlando just bought the last 4!
Better than a PR for me!!
My kids want me to take them to the new Harry Potter Movie; I said "forget it, there's new Scupscup videos to watch!"
Outstanding!
I wish I had the ability to post a video like some of our posters do, but I'm tecno-challenged. So I will just report on my experience without the "bells and whistles".
We have 3 stone benches in the backyard that are forty-some years old. They collect mold, dirt, pollen etc... over time and look "ancient". I just wet them down, spray them with Clean 1, wait a few minutes, brush them with a soft bristle brush, then rinse.
They look good when I'm finished, better the next day, and I know from experience, they will look as good or probably better in a week! The Clean 1 product seems to continue to clean for quite some time, depending on the surface and conditions. I don't know how or why; maybe Eric or someone in the company could offer an explanation, but it is an incredible product.
Happy 4th everyone!
Thanks for the post Paul. Most of the posters on this board have no doubt where this company and stock are heading. I consider Crash comic relief, so I don't have him on ignore like Extra and Harley.
San Terre- I really like your demos. I know it's the real deal because I use my Winning Colours every day... it's great.
One thing I do,that you might want to try, is I kept an old battery powered toothbrush and use that on stains and spots on clothing, carpets, etc... It gets some real nice agitation without ruining the fabric.
Like everyone else here, I'm really looking forward to Monday!
Thanks again for the demo!
I really like the idea of the small bottles in the convienience stores. I've carried a small bottle in my truck for about a year now and used it 6 or 8 times. It's not just for spills. How many times do you have to pop the hood to check something or change a tire for yourself or a lady in distress? This stuff just destroys grease, grime and dirt, you dry your hands and you're on your way!
Go WNBD!
I may be crazy... in fact I'm sure I am, but has anyone else noticed the LOWES logo on the Winning Brands home page coming up with much greater frequency. It comes up every two or three times and I didn't think it did in the past. Probably just me looking for something positive today!
san terre-
Clean 1 does not have the "banana smell" to it, and does not create as much foam and suds as WC. So it is definitely a different formulation, but I really can't tell you what the formulation differences are other than they both do a great job!
I really like your vids. I hope they keep coming. I'm in my late fifties and missed alot of the technical advancements in my formulative years, so posting vids and photos is like trying to launch the shuttle for me!
Just an Ant-
For what it's worth, I would recommend the Clean 1 for most outside cleaning jobs including pressure washing,outdoor furniture, barbecue grills, screen enclosures and decks because I've used it for all of these and have had results that far exceed any other products I've tried over the years; and I'm a huge fan and daily user of Winning Colours! It seems that the Clean 1 renews some surfaces to original condition, and keeps some surfaces clean longer than you would normally expect.
I have also sent Winning Colours samples to friends in California and Pennsylvania, plus several friends here in central Florida.
Thanks for all your contributions to the board. We have a wonderful core of people who are regular contributors to this board, and some of the newer ones like yourself and San Terre really contribute great DD.
Just to give an idea how much impact a national retailer can provide to a company and product; I work at a Sam's Club in central Florida and our number one selling laundry detergent is a 100% all natural detergent that comes in a much larger jug than Kind, but is also concentrated and works in both traditional and HE machines. We sell, on average, 117 per week in just my location!
I contacted Winning Brands about this product and gave some details. I got several responses over the next 24 hours, and they are quite confident in their product,( so am I ). I look forward to comparable results over the next few years with the Winning Brands products.
To all the great positive posters here:
THANK YOU for making the wait easier. Over a year and I never doubted we would be successful, because,like many of you, I use the products every day and they are the best available!
I still won't post much, but I read the message board daily and appreciate the great DD and attitudes.
Have a great week-end all.
