Nut Juice Update: Works Well With Grandma's BALLS!

Today I am exhausted.  If I were in the back of a dump truck full of gravel going 80 down the highway MAYBE then, and only then, would I have trouble dozing off... maybe.  If I weren't learning so much about writing by doing this silly thing, it would be the first to go from my daily routine.  But alas, I'm enjoying the crap out of it and, despite my fatigue, I have more information concerning soap nuts.

 So my grandmother, when she was alive, made these amazing little balls out of nylon netting and called them scrubballs.  Oh Grandma, if only you knew how well you fuel my fire. These Scrubballs are used for washing dishes primarily but there is a laundry list of wonderful things you can do with these gems before pitching them into the trash. I wear them down unrelentingly at the kitchen sink, then scrub the bathroom or some other filth before I toss them.  Before she passed away, long before, not on her death bed, she passed the skill onto me.  That's right! I am the proud maker of balls!!

 Now, my kids have these fun little markers that write on windows.  They write on anything glass I would imagine, but the kids' favorite spot is our huge picture window in the front room.  Our house, being built in the fifties, actually has many big windows that the children have blessed with their artwork.  The marks are easy enough to get off with some sort of spray and a rag but when those little monsters and their friend decided to decorate the front window for Easter a MONTH EARLY, how could I possible clean it off until after the holiday?  The result was a window in need of some major scrubbing.  It's a good thing that I am always in possession of a great set of balls.  I grabbed my nut juice and an old edition scrubball and it actually sudsed up my window!  I was wiping off a lot of red marker so before I new it there were pink suds all over the window and dripping onto the floor.  No biggy, everything it touches is better for it. My window is immaculate once again.  I find it's best to use a rag to spread the spray around, then a paper towel to go the the streak free shine... but that's only in highly soiled areas, of course.

 <AND> Add this to your list of jee-whizzes.  I mopped all my floors, added some vinegar and cleaned my windows and I even cleaned a paint brush with it!!!  Look, I'm not saying Soap nuts work on everything... I'm just saying that everything I've tried has worked!  So, if any of you greener-beings out there have given Soap Nuts a whirl and you know of anything that hasn't work or you want to add to my list of things that have.... SHARE DAMN IT!
