Dear FlyLady,

Your purple rags are miracle cloths.

But you already knew all that from your thousands of testimonials waxing poetic about the pretty perfect purple rags.

The real reason I am writing is because of your response to the lady who prepped her purple rags by washing dishes with them until she didn’t have anymore PURPLE SUDS! What a fun idea! I could envision myself buying new cloths just for the fun of the purple suds. You wisely cautioned her against this as fabric dyes may not be food safe and suggested she add red and blue food coloring to the water to achieve her purple bubbles.

Please do not mess with the purple rags, especially the color. The dark, rich, regal color hides stains, keeping your rags fresh and new looking after many uses and washings. Plus the color is neutral enough to be embraced by my mostly male household. A lighter purple rag may result in PRPS- Purple Rag Paralysis Syndrome. That is a paralyzing fear of using your purple rags on messy jobs such as the gas grill for fear of destroying their purple pristine preciousness.

Thanks for all you do,
FlyBaby Sally
