Super Scrubbies (pot scrubbers) for Thermomix Kitchens

[ThermomixBlogger]

LOL Frozzie, I love your new word! SCRUBBULOUS it is!

It's past 1 am here now and I was heading for bed but my ears started ringing so I hopped onto the forum and here you are, all talking SCRUBTALK. 

To those who received samples at Forumfest,you are most welcome it was an absolute pleasure to share them with you this way and send scrubbies and stickers when I couldn't be there myself. So glad you are enjoying them.

I have to say it was a bit of a 'leap of faith', deciding to offer these in the shop and then do a video about them as they are something so 'common' at my house. I wasn't at all sure that their 'practicality' would translate across the distance, even with help of video. As those of you who now have them in hand already know, they are small, and somewhat um.. 'rustic' ... complete with little imperfections... but very effective! But as I said on the video... people do get 'passionate' about them and often can not return to their former ways once they've tried these. Of course they won't be for everyone, but for some of us, they are SCRUBBULOUS!

A few emails have come in from people asking if I can do smaller kits with fewer scrubbies. The reality is that there is not much money to be made from scrubbies, as the shipping cost is greater than the value of the scrubbies unless you order a bunch -- Hence the bulk pack.

When it occurred to me that some people may take a serious liking to these I realized that I should offer a bulk pack which also lets me put a couple of large ones in. (Trust me, once you try the large, you'll always want to have both sizes on hand!)

The main reason I've added these to the store is not to profit, but to share the tools that work best for me. I thought that by adding two to the Thermo Lover's kit, it would 'round out' the kit and provide all my fave tools in one packet. It's really heartwarming to realize that people trust my opinion enough to order these kits and thankfully, seem to concur --  that these tools are a good fit for our Thermokitchens.

I've heard all kinds of reports regarding arrivals times. The post office has been surprisingly wonderful recently and most see parcels within 1-3 weeks. Love MCMich's idea, and Gretchen's, and and and. Thank you all, for your enthusiasm!

ps - and why do you think I'm still up at 1:30 am??? Packing scrubbies for you of course

Thanks Helene, a few of us have got around the bulk pack by sharing. Can't wait to get them and give them a try and you never know I might regret sharing my bulk pack!

Michele just received my scrubbies thank you very excited to try them on the weekend, don't forget to pm me the amount I owe you 

[judydawn]

I'll be putting an order in late next week once I have changed providers so that my email address will be correct.  I have so many people I can give one to and I want one for every wet room in the house.

That's good Judy they feel quite rough not what I was expecting will give them a good workout this weekend.

[judydawn]

Yes some reviews would be nice and also what different ideas people have been using them for.  Gretchen has given a few variables, sometimes we don't think outside the square.

[Yvette]

Yes true Judy that's why I thought it would be good to have a new topic HOW YOU ARE USING YOUR SCRUBBIE

[judydawn]

Good idea, someone who has used theirs on different jobs may like to start the thread.  Gretchen?

[Yvette]

Yes Gretchen or I will start one next week after I have used mine

The kit of spatulas, brushes and scrubbies I ordered last Friday arrived safe and sound today.  Looking forward to trying everything out this weekend.

Helene is doing a wonderful job of despatching her orders as soon as she gets them (no wonder she was so shattered when you visited her earlier this week Gert!).

We do not want to bother her while she is busy do we!

I had to collect my scrubbies from the sorting office of the post office today as Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs stung me for £5.37 and the Post Office charged me a £8 handling charge.The guy behind the counter said try to keep parcels  to the cost of £18 or $30.
All unpacked and they do look good Thanks Helene

Boy they know how to charge over there CC, 8 pound handling fee, what a rip off, I think here in Aus. if the parcel is over $100.00 we have to pay customs, but no handling fee. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I agree Jen, the £8 handling fee is outrageous.

[judydawn]

Made for an expensive parcel CC.  Did you have to pay anything when I sent you that large recipe book?
