Christmas in August

  • , by Trudy Chuoke Trudy Chuoke

I have been flooded with Christmas in July ads on Facebook, Amazon and any shopping networks that I like to watch. I really think that’s a good idea for me because during the last fourth quarter in my store it is very busy and sometimes, I find myself a week before Christmas with nothing under the tree. So, I thought I would talk about a great Christmas present and that’s our book, “The Best of Johnnie Chuoke, Vol 14.” It’s a great gift for the new homeowner, the person that loves to tackle jobs around the house, a great closing gift for a real estate agent. And it’s priced at 16.99.  Here are some of the answers you will find in reading our book. 

Do you have a lingering odor in the house? Maybe it’s a smoker, that doesn’t smoke in the house, but when they come inside the smoke smell lingers on their clothing? Maybe you have a ranch or vacation home that stays closed up and smells musty when you open up the house for company. Did you just paint? Is there an odor in your baby’s room or your teenager’s closet? Do you visit a nursing home for a friend that is bedridden? Lighting a candle is not the answer for these strong odors. But Air Sponge is, so check out the helpful information tips on page 101 of our book. Open up Air Sponge in the room where the odor is and, in a few hours, your odor will be gone.

Do you live in a town that has hard water? I do. And I constantly fought keeping my glass shower door free of hard water stains, until I found Invisible Shield. Cleaning the door is easy with Delete Germ. And if you add the protection of Invisible Shield, it will stay that way for almost a year. Just look on page 21 of our book and you can have all the details. 

 Floors, I get questions about maintaining hardwood, laminate, LVP, ceramic or stone floors all the time. When we just had carpet, a vacuum cleaner was all that was needed. But with all the new surfaces- there are so many questions on what is safe. I like to use a product line where maintaining floors is all they do and that is Holloway House. If you have older floors, usually a high shine helps that floor look it’s best. He is the answer. You can have an immediate shine with just one coat that dries in 20 minutes. The closest competitor product takes 60 minutes to dry. I can barely keep little paws off the floor for 20 minutes much less an hour. But here is what is the best asset of Quick Shine, that shine that you will love also adds protection. Dirt, dust, and grime are like sandpaper to your floors and by adding a couple of coats of Quick Shine, you protect them. And you never have strip off Quick Shine, it just walks off. But if a high shine is not what you want, they make a Floor Luster which is great for newer floors. Still giving you protection, with that soft glow. Check out page 84 for all the answers. 

There are answers for roofing problems, cracks in concrete driveways, and using the best stains for decking and fencing. Do you have questions about drains, mold and mildew and keeping faucets spot free? The answers are all there. Looking at ceiling fans? Know what you should be looking for before you buy, on page 46.  

You can get so confused about products and reviews these days. And that’s what I like about our book. These are products that we all use in our homes. They are tried and tested, and I feel great about suggesting them to you. Each book will be signed and paw printed from Max who comes to work with me every day. Each comes with a bookmark and there a history of our company in the beginning of the book. Cost of the book is 16.99 and shipping is $4.00 for one book. But if you buy more than one, shipping will just be $6.00. Get ahead of the Christmas season and give a gift that is full of information that will help someone for years.
