Introducing Shaklee Products!

Hey Everyone!

I just wanted to let you know about my new discovery! SHAKLEE!
I've been checking into some "GREEN" cleaning supplies for some time and it's SO hard to tell what it legit and what just has a "GREEN" claim. After my mother stumbled upon Shaklee products and let me try them- I'm sold.

My main reason for switching to "GREEN" products are some of the possible health risks posed to our children. There are chemicals in some of our everyday cleaning products that are known to be cancer causing. I knew these years ago, but just let it slip by. Well, in 2006 we had our first child and it just seems like you become more aware, and worry a lot more. I have decided to start using organic biodegradable cleaning products, just in case.

Not only are Shaklee products affordable, they ACTUALLY do a fantastic job without containing phosphates, borates, nitrates, and are SUPER concentrated…which means less waste.
After my mother received her products she brought them to me to test. Trust me I was very skeptical. I was almost positive that they wouldn't do near the job my regular chemicals do and thought that was just the sacrifice I would have to make to use a safer cleaning process. Was I WRONG! I was so surprised! The Basic H2 Multi-Purpose cleaner cleaned my windows just was well as my Windex using only 2 drops in 16 oz of water, and without that strong ammonia smell. 16 ounces of Basic H2 is equal to 5,824 bottles of 26 ounce Windex, and it's even proven to rival in performance on windows and mirrors.

I also recieved an e-mail today listing the other uses of the Basic H2. These are off label uses that product users have discovered on their own. Some of them include: 1-2 drops in humidifiers to prevent rust, 1-2 drops in hands to remove garlic and onion smells and tobacco stains, full strength to remove gum from skin or carpeting, use 1/2 tsp to gallon of water to fertilize rose bushes and repel red spiders, use a few drops in house plant water to make them flourish, 1/4 tsp to pint of water with solution squeezed out of a spounge to dust- makes surfaces bright and is non-magnetic making it unnecessary to dust as often, use 1/4 tsp to pint of water to remove residues of poisonous sprays. THE LIST GOES ON AND ON!

I also used the Basic H2 Multi-Purpose cleaner on my floors and they appeared to be just as clean as when I used Lysol cleaner. You can also use it as mixed as an all-purpose cleaner for your kitchen and bathrooms. You just mix ¼ tsp. to 16 oz. of water. Mix 1 ½ tsp to 16 oz. of water and you now have a degreaser.

After using those products I HAD to try the laundry detergent. First I gave it the "Gavin's Peachy Bib" test. Honestly, it worked better than the Oxy Clean stain remover I have been using….and didn't make my hands burn after pre-treating 7 bibs like the Oxy does. It also has a great smell…which I was afraid the organic products wouldn't have. It did a wonderful job on the 6 loads of laundry I've done thus far. I only have to use 2 ounces/load. That's only ¼ of a cup. And, if you have a high efficiency washer- you only have to use 1 oz!

Since I've tried these products and TOTALLY fell in love with them I have decided to become a distributor for Shaklee. Oh, and Dr. Oz has appeared on Oprah more than once recommending these products of you have decided to starting using "GREEN" cleaning supplies. They have also been seen on the Rachel Ray show.

Ok, now I'm done letting you know what I've discovered. If you have any questions about Shaklee products- let me know. I'd be glad to let you know more about what I've discovered.
