Thank you all for your interest in GLIDE. EBC GLIDE. What can I tell you about this soap?

EBC GLIDE was created, in part, directly from the overwhelming success of EBC Multi-purpose cleaner (EBC MPC), which was launched back in early 2012. In our run up of establishing EBC MPC as one of the "go to" soaps for the pressure washing contractor, we also knew that a secondary component of our soap blend (EBC MPC) offered some very unique characteristics relating to cleaning windows from a down streaming or x-jetting application.

In 2013, I began reaching out to window cleaning professionals to "pick their brain" about window cleaning soaps and what they need for not only a soap to be good but for a soap to be in a category of it's own. Buzz words such as glide, slip, wetting, suds and drag were just a few of the "tag" words along with other ones that actually established the cornerstone of what EBC GLIDE is today. Obviously I cannot go into describing in detail the formula or blend of EBC GLIDE but I will say that based on the 7 months of beta testing and formula adjustments, we are confident that EBC GLIDE posses a unique balance of "stuff" in it that positioned us for our launch. As with any product launch, it will take some time for the soap to get out there and have the measurable impact that we are looking for. We we are in this for the long haul and look forward to working with window cleaning professionals world-wide. Today we are establishing our distributor network for EBC GLIDE, with WCR being one of our first distributors to carry it. Our infrastructure is solid with two production facilities currently meeting the demands of our EBC soap lines for our domestic and international distributors.

We (EBC) are actively involved with our distributors and the contractor community on a daily basis. Our distributors matter. Our contractors matter. We involve ourselves in the industry to the extent that we do not just want to hear what our product can do but more importantly where our product line can use some improvement in. This type of feedback is very important to us and we view it as a win-win for all involved.

When beta testing was well underway it was comforting to hear comments such as "your soap Carlos stands shoulder to shoulder with GG3 or GG4" or "EBC GLIDE cut through that kitchen grease on the window like no other". We certainly wrestled with a few issues along with way regarding the formula where adjustments had to be made based on the feedback. However we worked through those "speed bumps" and positioned EBC GLIDE for our launch this past week with WCR

Moving forward we are excited to be working with WCR and obviously based on this thread we are eager to continue to receive continuous feedback from all that test, try or use GLIDE on a regular basis. Thanks for the interest everyone and we look forward to hearing more feedback from those that will be receiving samples from WCR.

Tuf Job To No Job

Lowry’s promise to send a crew back in the spring to wash their windows with Tuf Job.

Customers angry after door-to-door window washer doesn't deliver (Overland Park, Kansas) - At nearly $90 a gallon, the cleaning product Tuf Job would seem like a tough sell. But last December, David Lowry went door to door in the Mills Farm subdivision of south Overland Park, peddling this product. He convinced several people to buy it, customers who have now contacted Call for Action. “He would name drop people on the block,” Angie Hernandez said, who spent $179 for two gallons. So did Vanessa Perry. "He kind of named some neighbors that he had sold to and did windows for,” Perry said. The Tuf Job website calls the product a “wonder cleaner” that’s “biodegradable, non-toxic and environmentally safe!!”

To drive home this point, several customers tell Call for Action Lowry actually tasted the product in front of them. “Yes he did… said it was so good for the environment and squirted it into his mouth,” Donna Weninger said. But what really sold these consumers was Lowry’s promise to send a crew back in the spring to wash their windows.  He had customers make checks out to a woman named Joy Edge.  Our calls to Edge were not returned. "It was more of the window washing included... I thought it was a good deal,” Perry said.

That was in December and January. Neither Lowry nor his window washers have returned to clean any windows. The Better Business Bureau lists Crown Products, a company listed on the Tuf Job label, as out of business. Customers have called Lowry and say they heard excuses.  Seven customers filed complaints with Call for Action. The Tuf Job salesman was a tough guy to find. The cleaning product label just lists a P.O. box number, not an actual building address. We recently found Lowry at a home in Shawnee listed in Edge’s name.

When asked why it is taking so long to return to wash windows, Lowry said, “Not going to be out there until the middle of June for windows." Lowry blames the delay on the weather.  During our meeting, he agreed to refund money to any customer who contacted Call for Action. “My bottom line is this, if they want their money back, call me," Lowry said.

Lowry first promised Call for Action he would get everyone refunded by Monday of this week and then said it would be Wednesday or Thursday.  So far, no one has received their money back. We will keep you posted on any developments. Customers just want to warn others about what’s happened to them. “I think the biggest thing is to really let people not fall victim to the same thing that I did,” Hernandez said.
