Mama Says Wash!™ was started in November 2002 by mere
accident! I first started making soap in my kitchen for Christmas gifts
for family and friends in October 2002. I wanted to create a gift that
was handmade, unique and useful; one that I could personalize for each
person on my list. Before I knew it, my closet was overflowing with
hundreds of bars of soap, my husband was giving me "the look" and the "addiction" had
begun. Friends and family raved about my soaps and asked if I they
could buy them from me. I knew I had better start selling if I was
going to be able to support my new "habit." It was then that my entrepreneurial
instinct surfaced and I realized "Hey, I could make a business out
of this!" And thus, Mama Says Wash!™ was born.
The great thing about soap is that it's such a useful
item ... something everybody needs and uses. Whether you're buying
for yourself or for others, this isn't just some item that's going
to sit on the shelf and collect dust. Mama Says Wash!™ produces a wide
variety of soaps, including kitchen soaps, luxurious bath bars, decorative
soaps, unscented soaps, even soap for your dog! Private label and custom
soaps are our specialty. There are endless ways to creatively combine
molds, colors, additives and scents to make just the perfect gift.
Custom orders are always welcome, whether it's a single soap, or several
hundred. We've made soaps for birthday party favors, bridal luncheons,
rehearsal dinners, baby showers and lots of other special occasions.
From soaps with embedded toys to the more elegant designs to custom
soaps, Mama Says Wash!™ has something for everyone! Yes, you could
say we are passionate about what we do…..whether you need corporate
gifts, retail private label, or personalized labels for your special
event, Mama Says Wash!™ can develop products to fit every budget and
occasion. Have an idea? Say it with Soap!!
Mama Says Wash!™ is proud to announce that as of May
2004 we are out of the kitchen and into the workshop! Yes, my husband
made me promise that if we bought a bigger home with space for a workshop,
that I would keep my soapmaking paraphernalia out of the kitchen! Of
course, I readily agreed and the summer of 2004 will be spent outfitting
the new Mama Says Wash!™ office and workshop so that we may continue to expand and better serve our rapidly growing customer base.
Mama Says Wash!™ is based in Austin, Texas where I reside with
my husband and two young daughters. Prior to motherhood, I spent 8 years in
the semiconductor industry. Then, after four and a half years at home with
my children, I was longing for an outlet and something to exercise my brain.
Trading high tech corporate life for diaper duty had been a major adjustment!.
Mama Says Wash!™ not only saved my sanity, but it allows me to pursue something I love while being at home with my children. In addition, running the business feeds my need for intellectual stimulation, something too easily lost amongst the piles of dirty diapers and half-eaten peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
