Supercloth Clean celebrates their 6th year anniversary on September 28th. Grace Macaluso, the owner, a remarkable person and true entrepreneur who started her business with 100 Supercloth™ Cloths in hand. Little did she know she was on her way to establishing a successful home business.
When I first met Grace with my Partner Ellen, it was to talk about her dream website for Supercloth Clean. Grace is smart with a upbeat personality – always smiling. As we talked website logistics, I learned more about this remarkable woman who came here from Italy. I thought she would be the perfect person to interview so that others can see that “being proactive, working hard and having a positive attitude pays off” – you can succeed!
I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Grace about how she started SuperCloth clean, her visit to Supercloth™ headquarters in Italy, the tools she used to grow her business and how the business continues to succeed.
Welcome Grace!
Welcome Grace, it’s so nice of you to take the time today to talk about Supercloth Clean. I’d first like to congratulate you on your 6th year anniversary coming up on September 28th. You are a real entrepreneur and have worked hard to establish and maintain a successful business. What made you decide to become a Supercloth™ distributor?
Six years ago a very good friend gave me my first Supercloth™. She was so excited to tell me about this amazing product and how it would make cleaning so much easier. At first I didn’t believe it and then I tried it on a big mirror, it was like magic…the mirror shined without a lot of fuss. When I tried it on windows it left no lint and dust came off my furniture without having to use chemical spray. My house never shined this way before.
After a few months of using my first Supercloth™ I knew I needed a fresh one. I used Supercloth™ faithfully in my daily cleaning. When I went back to order more, my friends supplier was no longer selling them – I literally went into a panic “what am I to do now”. I went online and searched for Supercloth™ and found the company based in Italy. As I searched their website, I found a page that said “do you want to be a Supercloth™ Distributor?” I filled in the questionnaire and send it in. Almost immediately I heard back. For a very minimum investment I could purchase Supercloths from them and try to sell them, so I purchased 100. They could not come from Italy fast enough!
I placed the first ad on eBay and that same day someone purchase the first Supercloth™ cloth, immediately after that I was selling them by the bunch – I knew it was the beginning of something big.
Visit to Supercloth™ Headquarters
Tell us about your visit to Supercloth™ Headquarters in Italy – it must have been exciting.
In 2009 I took a trip to Italy, my hometown San Severo, Italy which is 2 hours away from the company located in Bari, and went to see where Supercloth™ was manufactured. Vilma, my supplier, took time away from her vacation to show me and my family around. The inside of the company is all state-of-the-art with modern colors of red and white and glass stairs. There is a room with about 20 TV monitors. I also saw where they manufacture Supercloth™ cloths. It’s all done downstairs in the same building. Here’s a photo of Vilma and me.
Supercloth™ Product Growth
The Supercloth™ product line is growing, most recently, Supercloth Bath was introduced, do you think this will continue?
Yes, Supercloth™ iPad-iPhone is one, it is a smaller version of the original but it does exactly the same thing. Supercloth™ Bathroom is another product the company came up with recently. It is great for cleaning your entire bathroom – tub, toilet, sink, floor and faucets – everything you cleans shines! Supercloth™ Kitchen, made to the room of the house specifically. It’s great for cleaning, counter tops, appliances, and anything else in the kitchen area.
