The Cleaning Memo you selected is no longer available on-line, but can be purchased in Cleaning Memos: Volume 3.  
See below for booklet details and ordering information.

Cleaning Memo PDF Files

Cleaning Memos from October 2000 through December 2007 are now available in electronic format (Why didn’t I think of this earlier?). A zipped file for a given volume has each Cleaning Memo as a separate PDF, and all Cleaning Memos for that volume together as one PDF. You may purchase individual volumes or you may purchase one zipped file that has all individual Cleaning Memos from October 2000 through December 2007 (Volumes 1-7). In addition to each individual Cleaning Memo as a PDF, the comprehensive zipped file also has all Cleaning Memos as one PDF. One advantage of the electronic format is that it enables you to do word searches.

There are two options for purchasing Cleaning Memos in electronic format. Option A is to purchase the files for loading onto one computer, without network access. This option allows the purchaser to print up to two copies of each Cleaning Memo for use by that company. Option B allows use on multiple computers at one site, including network access at that site for use by that company. This option allows unlimited printing of copies of each Cleaning Memo.  Click here for pricing and order information for the electronic version of Cleaning Memos

Printed booklets of past Cleaning Memos are out of print and no longer available. Past volumes are only available as PDF files

For those of you that would like Japanese translations of my Cleaning Memos, these are now available for sale by a third party, GMP Research, in Japan. Here is a link to the web site with purchasing information for Japanese translations of Cleaning Memos: http://www.geocities.jp/gmp_research_jp/
