Dear FlyLady,

I am 73 and have been a fan and follower of FlyLady (off and on) almost since the beginning of your website. I am living proof that you CAN teach an ol’ dog new tricks, and I am so thankful for the changes you have made in my life! Here is one use for the wonderful purple rags that I haven’t seen posted.

I have always found it difficult to find a deodorant that works consistently and have had to change brands frequently to keep the odor under control. Recently, after having tried numerous roll-on and stick deodorants, I had just about given up on finding one that would get the job done this time.

I keep a purple rag in my shower for regular use on my shower door and walls and also for an occasional skin scrubbing. On a whim, I decided to give my underarms a good scrubbing with my purple rag: even though I had been consistently using a nylon net and washrag.  Wow! I couldn’t believe how much old deodorant had accumulated under there! And now my deodorant is working and I don’t stink anymore!!!

FlyLady here: I keep a purple rag in my tub too. It works great on dry skin. We have silver rags that are half price.  They are the same great fabric as our purple rags.

Do you have a testimonial about about your purple or silver rags. Please send it to FlyLady@flylady.net with MIRACLE RAG in the subject line.
