That blind thing is so weird I don't even know what to say.

What is the official use for soap leaves? My sister gave my mom and I soap petals for the holidays. I dumped mine in my underwear drawer, but my mom dumps hers in the bath. Doesn't that just make for soapy water?

I think that is perhaps exactly the point.

Ruth--
Don't you just LOVE the name: "Portable Hydraulic Window Blinds Cleaning System"

Aka: suction cups.

Hysterical.

And they're so small, where would you use them? I'm trying to imagine wrenching off the huge Venetian blinds my parents had in their house, shlepping them upstairs and somehow wresting them into a stall shower. Oh the hijinks!

That name is very military-industrial complex.

Hey Ruth - where you been girl?!

I could really use those blind holders. I've had to send them to maintenence to get them cleaned. Oh wait, they don't clean them, they just replace them. Never mind.

Jen,
I think they are Guest Soaps - thin enough for one usage.
An update on those darn soap roses my mom used to have...
