Have you ever taken a look at the list of chemicals in your cleaning products? I recently did, and was shocked. I knew they would be bad, but I had no idea they would be this bad! Some of the scary chemicals found in my cleaning products were kerosene, phenols, cresol, lye, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, sulfuric acid, petroleum distillates, ammonia, sodium hydroxide, butyl cellosolve, phosphoric acid, formaldehyde, chlorine bleach, and more. Thank goodness we keep our cleaning products high on a shelf in the laundry room far away from Baybah’s reach. But what about the residue left behind when we clean the counters, our dishes, or do the laundry? The effects of these chemicals over time can be extremely bad for our health. That is what made me want to make the switch to safer, greener products like Shaklee’s Get Clean.
Shaklee offers a full line of natural and nontoxic cleaning products that are safe for you, your home, and the planet called Get Clean. I recently was able to review their Get Clean Starter Kit. This kit contains everything I need to make the green switch including dish soap, laundry detergent, disinfecting wipes, fabric softener, cleaning concentrate, and so much more.

i want a green makeover because those chemicals suck
I try to buy as many natural products as I can, so I did not find many chemicals in my house, but I did find chlorine bleach (to kill mold).
I recently found out about Shaklee products and was able to try some out at my house. I love how “green” they are, and I didn’t have to worry about my baby touching anything I had cleaned. I’m amazed at some of the terrible chemicals found in my cleaning products! Yuck!
I found them all! I need a cleaning makeover
I found lots of bleach and various acids in my cleaners. With my cats ability to get into everything it worries me what these are doing to my cats health, and mine!
I found Ammonia, and I need a green makeover because my hands are suffering.
I am shocked at what is in my cleaning products. We really want to go GREEN in our household. Thanks for the opportunity to possibly win the kit!
