cleaning the van not sales promotion


 As a newbie to this site and just starting our trip my wife and myself have come accross a poduct called ENYO at the Perth caravan and camping show.

  I have done the truck driving the washing vehicles and all that and never have I seen anything like this with just a small amount of water, our van came up spottless I was gob smacked to see how it cleaned the awning and so forth. My wife informs me she has been using it for 6 years so I was also surprised to see I had never really noticed until I came up with the idea when the woman demoed it at the show. So My wife say's I told you so and I say look what I've found must be a bloke thing.

 Anyway for people on the road should you see a ROMA van with KEN and Cheryl on the back give us a call you can have a look and then find an agent to purchase it from, or if its around at the camping shows give it a look you may be surprised.

  I also dislike sales people so I don't worry but this is amazing stuff.

 Happy Trails

  Except tar I still use citronella for that and it just spray on and wash off DO NOT PUT ON STICKERS OR DECAL IT WILL JUST WASH THEM OFF.

Maybe you need to help your wife with the housework more often Ken, then you would have known about these enyo cloths as they have been around for many years. My rich sister uses them. I understand there is different colours for the different cleaning jobs, and they are very expensive. What colour did you use on your vehicle?? If you are talking about the paintwork I might be interested in something for the van (Myrtle) She needs a shine up.

Ken & Cheryl.

I ALWAYS use enyo gloves when I do my housework, they are expensive initially but in the long run cheaper.

Hi Marj - there is a special one for cars - it is blue - there is also a blue "magic cloth" which acts like a chamois - the enjo cloths are actually like a mitt - and I know there are other brands around, but the enjo ones are guaranteed for about 5 years I think, and really are worth the money you pay initially, we had severe water restrictions when we lived in Melbourne, and about 1/3rd bucket of plain COLD water and the enjo could do our whole car - John loved his enjo, I must check in the "big black bag" and see if they are in there. I had them in the house, white for bathrooms, yellow for general, even a mop/sweeper/window cleaner thing with pole - never used chemicals at all - so for an initial outlay, I probably saved heaps of dollars in not having to buy different products for the shower, for instance, none of whivh worked as well as the enjo.

I probably sound like a commercial for them, but they do work, they are worth the money, and I recommend them highly.
I have never sold them, only ever been a customer. You can ring their head office and find your local distributor.
cheers

Thats why I said my sister had them all Jules. She can afford them and has all the different colours. I was interested as to what colour was the one for cars. I understand they are very good but have never bought them myself. Might have to get myself the blue ones.

Is that on the paint work Jimbo?

There were a couple of ladies on one of the current affair programs last night showing exactly that. All house cleaning was done with BiCarb, White Vinegar, lemons and a couple of other cheap products.

To remove sticky stuff eucalyptus is the thing.
If the paint work on a vehicle is dull it will need to be cut and polished. Then you can maintain it with the Enjo mit.
I do most of my cleaning with vinegar and carb soda. I even did the windows with carb the other day. Just a damp cloth with a dab of carb and rub away all the water marks, filth and film. Let it dry then polish with an old, dry, washed out towel rag. That makes 'em shine!
What does Citronella do, and what do you use it for? What do you clean with it?
Wombat, where do you get all your graphics from? I don't want them, I just love 'em.

 On Tar the citronella cant be beat squirt it on and let it sit for a minute and wash off its all gone Bunning's has citronella in bottles called de-solve-it. Well it can be beat if you used diesel.

 I used a blue looking one glove and a light blue polish cloth.

The enyo I still cant believe what it did or how it works but it bought the annex back up as well just with a little water. She demonstrated it to the woman in the caravan next door to us and she was so imprressed that she borrowed our enjo and cleaned all day. She reckons we should, and we have decided, to take Enjo onthe road for all to see. Anyone can have a look, get information or buy the product from my wife, she signed up to sell it with the girl who did the Perth camping show.

 If you need to know my wife will have to answer how it works I do the outside and the BBQ and the fishing and heavy stuff Cheryl does the inside and I'm in the **** if I mess it up.

Take Care all

 Actually Brickie it's not a free add it's just we had a look at this and it works take it or leave it. I thought it was amazing stuff and you can look at it maybe at the next caravan and camping show.

Easy dont bother asking us but if you need to clean and you see it have a look it might be worth while.

 Have a great day

Ken

 Not a problem but I tell you what we will be on the road have a look at it then leave and get it from somewhere else no probs.

 It's like everyone here in the site gave us so much help when we got the van I thought it was worth while when I found this to let everyone know.

 My appoligies for any way offending I just seen a few people trying to get a heap of tar off their van and went to help. They where really struggling with cleaning so my wife lent her this enyo stuff, and they suggested we should show people so yesterday we did.

It's not something I would normally fight for but with cleaning the van in so little water and actually have it come up spotless then it's worth a look. We actually don't care where you buy it if it suits you.

If we can help with keeping thing clean, as we like our van nice and clean as we live in it now being an apprentice grey nomad and all.

 

Sorry to offend.

Ken

Sorry, looks like sales promotion to me, good product or not. Ken has failed to mention the price for these cloths, and they arent cheap.

Build a wall and get over it guys.   If you found something worthwhile I don't suppose you would share it.  Give the bloke a break.

I really don't know why casual advertising is not allowed on this site anyway. Not large business companies but small casual wouldn't hurt. Like I own a cafe and make the best pies ever, come and try them.

 Sorry Gert I don't really know the price.I just found it worked, my wife bought this stuff 6 years ago and as I worked away and only home for short periods I didnt have much to do with cleaning inside my job was outside.

 I think it would have been a lot better to shut up and let other people find it out them selves sorry for the intrusion.

Thank you all and happy trails hope to see you laughing on the road.

This is Ken's wife, Cheryl. The proud, enthusiastic and dedicated Enjo user! Wow what a controversy Ken started. This has got to in depth for him, so I have come on board.
I have seen most of the comments that have been written on this forum and I thank the positive people out there who recognise my husbands comments for what they were. Sharing of information.
To those with doubts and questions. I think it was Choice Magazine (sorry for the advertising) who did a survey and found that Australian households spend on average $10/week in the cleanning aisle of their supermarket. That's $520.00 /year for each household. That is the fumes of a lot of chemicals being inhaled into our lungs and the lungs of our families. I have a daughter who as a little one suffered from asthma and I wanted to try to allieviate her suffering as much as possible. Breathing in chemical fumes irritated her lungs and she would have an asthma attack on a regular basis, especially after I had cleaned the house. By using Enjo those attacks were minimised dramatically!
Enjo charge $49.00 for a tub of Marble Paste. My Marble paste lasted me 6 years, that equates to about $8.00 /year. I have just purchased a new tub of Marble Paste last week. A fibre glove costs $49.00, Miracle cloths cost $44.00. The type of glove I am using, Enjo stopped selling 6years ago last January. I'm still using mine more than 6 years later with the same results as when I first started to use it and thats not a fluke because I have two very house proud friends who are also using the same type of gloves.
I have a white fibre and miracle cloth, green fibre and miracle cloth, leather and wood balm and cloths, car cleaning glove and miracle cloth, a window cleaner and the floor cleaner and 1 floor fibre. That has been suffcient to clean my entire house, 2 cars, my children's homes every now and then and now a caravan.
I bought these products over a 12 month period so that my hip pocket didn't feel the pinch. I haven't had to buy chemicals in that time at all, except laundy liquid and dishwashing liquid.
I have also lowered my water usage and eased my aching body by not having to put in the heavy duty scrubbing and mopping that I used to do. Ken has cleaned our caravan (except the roof) with the car glove, miracle cloth and 2 litres of water. He was not exhausted or aching at the end of it and the van sparkled. Anyone who has been to Eucla knows about the cost of water. Imagine being able to wash you caravan with a couple of litres of water out of your van tanks. We can. It has taken me 6 years to convince my husband of the benefits of Enjo cleaning and it was seeing the lady in the van next door use it and the results she got that finally convinced him to try the product. He originally used 5 litres of water until I realised and corrected him. Now he uses 2 litres. If anyone would like to know more about the product I am happy to answer questions. White fibres for bathroom, laundry, glass etc. green fibre for greasy areas such as kitchens, Orange for dust. Hope that answers your queries. Enjo is a great product if you get a chance go to a demo.
Happy trails to you all.
