Turn your home into a chemical free home without all the toxins that are found in detergents and cleaners. Did you know that one of Oprah's favorite products is Basic H2. I love this product because it has so many uses from cleaning fruit to washing my floors. It is biodegradable and great for the environment so I throw it on my yard after I have washed my floors. It actually helps the grass absorb water better so it helps my yard.
I became interested in making my home chemical free for a number of reasons. First, I wanted a safer environment for my children. My husband, my children, and I all have allergies. Every time I would clean, my nails would break, my face would swell, and I have cold like symptoms (sneezing, watery eyes, headache etc.) Someone had suggested that I try Shaklee products because they are nontoxic and great for the environment. One may think that green cleaners would be more costly, but they aren't if your compare dollar for dollar because the Shaklee products are so concentrated that they last forever. Did you know that one bottle of Oprah's favorite Basic H2 sells retail for about $12. Did you also know that this one bottle would make 5,824 bottles of window cleaner. Yes, that is 5,824 and I didn't make a typo. So it is actually cheaper for me. The cleaners are more effective. I even have them delivered to my door monthly so the convenience is unbeatable. No more hauling from the store every few weeks.
Second, I wanted to protect the environment because I want my children and grandchildren (some day) to enjoy nature as I was able to growing up. I bought the Get Clean Kit and converted my home all I once. It was amazing, my 9 year old got dresses and said, 'ok, mommy, I am ready to help you clean.'...'It's safe right so I can help.' Before, I'd never let them help me because my chest would hurt when I was around the fumes of the cleaners. Just 1 Get Clean kit keeps 108 pounds of packaging waste out of the landfills and eliminates 248 pounds of greenhouse gas.
Third, statistically it drove me nuts to think that I really didn't know what kind of harm I could be doing to my family. Did you know 1 out 3 children will inhale a household cleaner. Even scarier is that it only takes 1 time to kill a child. Did you know that 9 out of 10 poison suspected exposures occur at home from household products. Did you know that women who work at home have a 54% higher death rate of cancer than women who work outside the home. I switched to a green home Dec. 2006, and I'm loving every minute of it.
Shaklee is even offering a free membership through the month of Jan. for all $50 PV orders. It doesn't matter if you choose all natural food supplements, natural skin care, nontoxic cleaners, or weight loss.
