special request items for a soldier

rmducote · **special request items for a soldier**

Hi! we received a specific request from one of the soldiers we support. Wondering if any of you have these or coupons for these, to trade for or sell
1. sample sized boxes of powder laundry soap (cant have liquid and not enough room for big box)
2. adult body wipes (he is 6'2 and says the baby wipes just dont go far) or baby sized wipes that are thicker for body wipes. maybe even some of those presoaped baby bath desposable washclothes.

this guy is in a rough place with no toilets, washers etc. hence the request for soup-they are hand washing thier uniforms- and body wipes

I have been trying to send off for laundry soap samples to get the small size, but its impossible to find!
thanks!!!

maybe contact a laundrymat and ask about those small boxes of soap- I think they usually sell them and they may be able to give you a good deal or give you a contact to get them-

HTH, Jen

Hi Rachel-
I have some Biz powder detergent samples, a Kleenex Cottonelle Flushable moist wipes sample and one of those Huggies baby disposable wash rags that I can send out your way. I know you guys are doing a good thing trying to help these guys out so no need to buy or trade them from me. I still have your address for our other trade so I'll put them in the mail to ya.

Could you possibly buy a box of powdered soap and put it into little baggies and send? Just an idea.

They have the Tide Boxes like you're talking about at the Commissary, I would be more than happy to pick some up to send to you! PM me with your address if you are interested!

I have a few of the Huggies presoaped washclothes, but the package is open so not sure if you could use them or not. LMK and I could get them in the mail this weekend. I think I used all my detergent samples during my de-cluttering frenzy, but will double check and see.

what about small plastic containers. I have parafilm that I could send you. It's a strechy plastic film that forms a leak proof seal.

Maybe you could use film canisters. Their cap stays on really well and I always hear people asking ways to recycle these. I'm sure you could finds tons of people willing to donate them for this. Just a thought.
