Troubleshooting Q & A

During the order process you will be presented with a button directing you to “Proceed to PayPal”.

This will take you to PayPal to pay your order. You do not need an account on PayPal to use PayPal but if you do have an account, you simply log in, select your funding source, confirm the amount and click “Pay Now”.

You don’t need a PayPal account to use PayPal. When you are directed to the PayPal login screen, click on the “Pay with a credit or Visa Debit card” button. You will be presented with a form that requires information about your credit or debit card. Depending on your country, you may also be asked to enter your address, email address, or phone number. Once you’ve finished filling in the information, simply click on “Pay Now” at the bottom of the form.

PayPal is an easy and secure way to make purchases, however nothing is completely risk-free.
You don’t have to have a PayPal account to purchase our products. You can choose to pay with a credit card through PayPal.

If you want to purchase the Cleanlots Manual, elsewhere, it is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indigo, iBookstore, Booktopia and Lulu. The Business Template Kit and Marketing Video are only available on our website.

If your debit or credit card was declined, check to see if your card is expired or out of date. If the card you have on file doesn’t have your current billing address or is expired, it will be declined. You can update your card’s expiration and/or your billing address quickly and easily in your PayPal account.

You may also need to check with your credit card provider to determine if your account has restrictions on purchases made outside the United States.

Absolutely. You can purchase the additional materials at any time.

You can purchase all of our products individually. However, you’ll benefit the most by purchasing the book first.

We require you to pay using PayPal. If you have a PayPal account, you can select your bank account as the funding source. No credit card is needed.

It happens. Sometimes people inadvertently add more than one of something to their cart.
Go to the shopping cart and hover your mouse over the Quantity box.

Up and down arrows will appear on the right hand side. Use them to decrease the number of products in your cart. When you are satisfied that you have the correct quantity, click the “Update Cart” button.

At this time we do not offer any coupons.

Everyone’s phone is different. We all use different apps, operating systems and settings. For best results, place your order from a computer.

If you are outside the United States, you are unable to purchase the Cleanlots book or any of the other Cleanlots business products from our website.

Sorry to hear that you’re having difficulties placing your order. Sometimes people encounter issues if they try to place an order from their phone. If that is the case, please try to order from a computer.

It depends. Our eBook is a pdf. If you have an app installed that can view pdf documents, you should be able to access it on your phone. If you have trouble, use a computer. Most computers have a pdf viewer.

Our other products (business template kit and video) should be downloaded on a computer first as the files are compressed and need to be extracted before they can be viewed.

In order to read the manual on your phone, you’ll have to have a pdf viewer installed. The other products (Business Template Kit and Marketing Video) will need to be extracted first, before you can view them. Do that on a computer for best results.

When you click on the download link in your email, try to save your file in a safe place that you’ll remember.

Typically, files will be saved in your “Downloads” folder, but depending on your setup, that location could vary.

Here are some common locations to check:

1. On Windows XP, look under \Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\Downloads
2. Vista and Windows 7, the path may be \Users\[username]\Downloads
3. For Mac, the full default path is /Users/[username]/Downloads
4. On Linux it should be home\[username]\Downloads

All of the business templates are zipped up together in one big file called a zip file. Zip files take up less storage space and are quicker to download. In order to view all of the templates, you must first unzip or uncompress this file. See “How do I uncompress a zip file”.

All of our business templates are editable. The pdf’s can be edited using Adobe Acrobat, and the MS Word templates can be edited with either Google Docs or Microsoft Word.

Make sure that you have uncompressed the Business Template kit file before you try to edit.

Generally on a PC, to unzip the contents of a zipped file, double click on the file and click “Extract All”. A dialogue box will open up that shows you where the extracted files will be saved. Please make a note of this location so you can find your templates later.

On a Mac, double click the zip file and it should automatically uncompress into the same folder the compressed file is in.

Uncompressing files on phones or tables require third party apps.

Unfortunately, like any other book, if you want a newer version, you’ll have to buy it.

Like all of our digital products, the video is delivered to you in a zip file for quicker downloading. You’ll need to uncompress the video in order to play it. See “How do I uncompress a zip file”

First you need to uncompress the video from the zip file.

Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn each have their own native video hosting platforms. This means you can upload your videos directly to each social media site.

You may have to upload your video to a hosting list like YouTube or Vimeo to post it on some of the others.

To put your video on your website, you should host it on YouTube or Vimeo and then embed it on your website. Different website platforms have different methods for embedding videos.

For a fee, we can help you add the video to your website. Contact us.

You can’t.

Not easily. For a fee, we can add your logo for you. Contact us.
