 Business › Re: Sumone Teach Me How To Make Carwash Soap Please. by naijacutee(mod): 2:19pm On Jun 26, 2013 |
Don't call or pay anyone anything. This is simple, and Borax is the secret ingredient. Culled from : http://www.carsdirect.com/car-maintenance/how-to-make-your-own-car-wash-soap You might never have considered making your own car wash soap. After all, commercial products are cheap and usually do a good job. Making your own is even cheaper and you will know exactly what is going into it. Car washing is something that has to be carried out regularly and nothing beats a traditional hand car wash. You will need different cleaning materials for different areas of the car so a car wash soap should only be used in car washing the body of the car. What You Need: Water Bucket Liquid dish detergent Powdered laundry detergent Borax Step One - Dish Detergent You can make a very basic car wash soap by simply squeezing a little liquid dish detergent into a bucket of warm water. This will remove the dirt when car washing without affecting the paint or the finish and couldn't be easier to put together. Remember to rinse the vehicle thoroughly to help avoid streaking. Step Two - Car Soap There is nothing complex about car wash soap. You will want something that will remove the dirt and grime from your vehicle and leave it looking as good as the day it rolled off the dealer's forecourt. In a bucket, mix 1 cup of liquid dishwashing detergent with 12 tablespoons of powdered laundry detergent. Fill the bucket with warm water and mix until the powdered detergent has dissolved. Depending on how dirty you car is, you might need to mix up another batch to achieve a full cleaning. When you've finished soaping up the car, rinse it with cold water using a garden hose. If the mix is too soapy, you can always add more water. If your car is especially dirty, cut down on the amount of water so the mixture is more concentrated as this will be better for removing the dirt. Adding borax to the mixture can prove beneficial in not leaving residue and streaks on the car before you have a chance to rinse it. If possible, park your car on a grassy area to wash it so the water soaks into the soil and doesn't run down the storm drain. Step Three - The Green Option Although detergent is fairly eco-friendly, those with an even greater concern for the environment can go further. Soaps that have no phosphate or chlorine, such as vegetable-based oil soaps, are great as are multipurpose green cleaners. Simply mix them with water. An alternative to this is to use 1 cup of liquid dishwashing detergent and mix it with non petroleum-based, phosphate-free and chlorine-free powdered laundry detergent. Combine these with 3 gallons of water and you have a very eco-friendly car wash soap. Step Four - How To Wash Before washing, rinse the car then wash and rinse the vehicle one section at a time starting at the top and working your way down to the lower areas of the vehicle to stop it from drying out before you finish. If possible, wash the car in the shade or away from direct sunlight. Please note that some soaps can actually do damage to the wax on a car's paint, or even the paint itself. It is important to do some research into the PH of a soap before using one on your car otherwise you risk doing permanent damage. The best way to be sure is to just use soaps designed for automotive use, because they have been designed for that purpose. 1 Like |

Unless you know a local wholesaler who you can ask to market their stock, most people start by buying small quantities of what they can afford, and re-invest the profit. |

BizBloke: [color=#000033] MsSantaClaus: Sounds interesting, but are Okadas still allowed in Lagos? Unless I don't know what Okadas are!Trust: It's all about managaing risk creatively. It's a small issue if you can just think creatively, and make a small allowance for loss due to this. Most companies here wouldn't have ever thrived, if they hadn't managed risk properly, as we live in a "quick-money-has-higher-value" culture". You can restrict the drivers in the first week to one item each time, and pay them on delivery. So when the go to pick up the parcel, count teir money in front of them and put it aside, in an envelope, and write their name on it. It might seem like a silly thing to do, but it will have a psychological impact. If Okadas are banned, scale for Kekes, simple. That shouldn't be a deterrent. |

mitwitdot: sounds interesting...kindly elaborate on the logisticsLogistics: Collect items from stores 1 - 2 days a week (maybe even using a taxi, if you have enough volume) , and deliver to a location (shop maybe?) by the okada rank, where okadas can regularly collect for delivery. Figures: So if a taxi driver charges 6,000 for example to collect 30 items from 3 e-stores and deliver to 5 locations, this = 200 per item. Okada drivers get paid 300 per drop for items delivered. Total = 500 each. E-commerce customers pay an affordable 1,000 each. 100% profit for you, doing nothing except the initial legwork. 30 items a week = 15,000 extra a week. I think 30 items would be the cut-off point, and this might not be worth it unless you can get a group of ecommerce stores who can dispatch up to 30 items a week between them. 3 Likes |

I think there's a market for offering affordable delivery services to ecommerce shops in Lagos, using existing Okada drivers. It's a relatively new idea, so you'll have to use your imagination, creativity to solve unique problems that might arise, as there's no one to copy from. Basically, you round up okadas in certain areas, and get them to sign up to your service, which will provide them with additional jobs for twice the route price. You then transport parcels to locations close to the okada rank, and during quiet periods, the okada drivers can pick up your higher-paying jobs. Something like taxipark.com.ng, but with courier packages, and a more direct approach to offline client acquisition. 7 Likes |

This is a great idea, and I have started publicizing it for free. To add to the question about armed robbers, car owners and passengers could have a sign in feature, via which users of each individual service cav leave feedback. This would keep people in check, knowing that it would spoil their "business" as it were, if they messed up. Also, people can easily choose which car to use or not to use based on feedback ratings. Well done, bro!! 1 Like |

There's scientific backing for this. Couples who are stressed/emotionally tense also find it difficult to conceive for several factors. First of all, the hormones which aid the monthly release of eggs for fertilisation are guided by a number of very very complex interactions between the brain, the pituary gland, and the adrenal glands (called the hypothalamic-pituary-gonadal axis). This means that subtle changes in the brain such as stress, unhappiness, worry etc can affect this process, and make it a little bit more difficult to conceive. no one really understands how/why this happens, but it might be nature's way of protecting defenceless infants from hostile environments - who knows?. This is why couples seeking children are often advised to relax, and try to avoid getting stressed. An open heart, with praise and gratitude can help people relax quickly. 1 Like |

| Business › Re: Which Is The Best Huggies Nappie? From Uk Or From USA by naijacutee(mod): 6:35am On May 24, 2013 |
I think they are all made by the same company, which has a minimum quality standard that must be reached wherever the nappies are produced. I'm not aware that they make products to the specifications of local markets, and water down quality like we do, as these are first world markets, with more access to cash. Buying from the UK might be more expensive, but this is usually evened out by lower shipping costs as the UK is closer to Nigeria. Buying them from the US might cost less, but more to ship as there is greater distance between the US & Nigeria. What would be brilliant is if you can save money on both the nappies, and also shipping costs. If you cannot, then there won't be any point as you will receive them quicker if you had bought from the UK. Hope this helps. |
