How it all began…. Our Story (excerpt from Sassan’s Autobiography Chapter 26)
It all started with the stink…. It was early 2014 when I turned 43 and decided it was time to give myself a well-deserved sabbatical. I was looking forward to spending more time with my three beauti
ful kids and rekindle my love for Yoga. I joined a wonderful studio in downtown Palo Alto, Yoga Source, which has always been the best place for Bikram and Heated Power Yoga. As a midlife crises fighting male, I could not bear to bare it all in the heated yoga classes. So I began my battle of the bulge keeping my T-shirt on during the heated classes. First I wore regular cotton which became heavy quickly, but more embarrassing was my STINK. Then I migrated over to my running and soccer shirts in hopes of avoiding the smell with the athletic material. But this was to no avail and the end result was ruined shirts and shorts tossed in the trash. So I began searching for ways of getting the STINK out of my clothes. Dousing my clothes in vinegar, sprinkling with baking soda, vodka, purchasing odor blocking detergent--you name it I did it. But there was no real working remedy, the stink could not be beat. I even called up our washing machine manufacturer hoping to place the blame on the machine (which was brand new). After painstaking conversation with the manufacturer help line I soon learned that no matter what, the clothes are RUINED. “It’s a real world problem” said the nice lady on help line. After purging close to 20 shirts which had been ruined by the returning stench I thought to myself, "Surely someone out there has the same problem? Surely someone has THE solution to stink, or at least one in progress? Why me?"
After a few nights of crying myself to sleep, I decided that someone was going to be ME. That’s right, the sabbatical was just handed his pink papers and it was time to move on. Time to get back onto to the horse and kick some stink's a**. During my crises I purchased a few shirts from some “RuRuRemon” place and paid a RuRu-hefty $$$ for a shirt only to find that the problem was not really solved. Although outfitted with some silver technology, it's anti-odor claim only works if you manage to wash the wet clothes immediately following use. In addition, the price made it a wallet breaker. Thus was born Kleen Fabrics. Today I am happy to report that the battle of the stink has been won. But why stop there? The #1 killer of children in third world countries is disease. In our little corner of entrepreneurship we see our partnership with you as a fantastic opportunity to solve a real world problem by providing clothing to those who need it most starting with orphanages in Africa (Ghana).
