I am glad that green living and green products are in popular demand by today’s consumers, because that means products are abundant and prices are competitive. In other words, it is now cost effective for the average consumer to be green–compared to trying to reduce a carbon footprint 10 years ago when it was cheaper to produce more waste.
Options are nice for the consumer, but it also means the consumer has to stay on point and make sure items marketed as “green and biodegradable” are also “safe and non-toxic”. Surprisingly, many cleaning products don’t meet both criteria. And of the few that do, not all of them actually, well, CLEAN.
When I first heard about Shaklee’s Get CLEAN products, they sounded too good to be true. Also, I was a little wary about purchasing a product through an MLM company based on previous experiences I’d had with other companies. But, working with independent distributor Barrie J. Barratt was wonderful. She’s been extremely kind and helpful without being pushy or bombarding me with phone calls and e-mails. In fact, why can’t all MLM independent distributors be so pleasant to work with?
Barrie generously let me try the Get Clean Starter Kit for two months. Overall I liked several of the products so much, that I signed up for the 15% discount and purchased more of the cleaning products that I really enjoyed.
Straight from the manufacturer’s website:
YOU’D HAVE TO SPEND MORE THAN $3,400 TO GET THE EQUIVALENT CLEANING POWER IN THE GET CLEAN STARTER KIT!
Also, when you purchase the Get Clean Starter Kit you also make a positive impact on the planet:
- Eliminate 108 pounds of packaging waste from landfills.
- Eliminate 248 pounds of greenhouse gas.
Now, that’s a range of cleaning products I can LIVE with.

Here’s an exclusive scouring cleanser that sets a new standard. It even cleans burnt-on food in your oven. And doesn’t burn off your nose hairs in the process.
What I love about this paste is that it takes minimal elbow grease and it works very quickly–and it’s not harmful to come into contact with my skin. Stove tops, grills, ovens, and caked on pans: beware! With the Scour Off Paste in town, you’re gonna clean up your act! This little beauty retails for $8.50. I just wish it wasn’t on backorder for the past 5 weeks. Yikes!
Basic H2® Organic Super Cleaning Concentrate (16 oz.bottle)
Instead of buying multiple cleaning products for all of your house cleaning needs, you can buy just one–reduce storage for bottles, have lest biochemical hazard in your home, and save a ton of money. Sounds good to me!
Based on its dilution, the organic super cleaning H2 concentrate can clean numerous surfaces.
Basic H2 can clean all those things and more: cast iron, cooking tops, toilets, bathtubs, clay & ceramic tile floors, chrome, copper, vinyl, upholstery, wood, walls, toys, fine fabrics, gold, jewelry, and sinks. Next to all-purpose cleaner in the dictionary, you’ll find a picture of the H2–it’s THAT good. I will use this product to clean my home and my clinic. Two thumbs up. 4 stars. This is worth all the hype–seriously!
For all of those benefits, it’s the best $12.15 you’ll ever spend on cleaning products.
Fresh Laundry Concentrate (Powder) – 5.5 lbs – Cleans 88 loads
The naturalenzyme formula leaves clothes extra clean while being gentle on the planet. This stuff actually got my son’s ammonia-stinky cloth diapers stripped and cleaned. I had to use twice the recommended amount of detergent, but it did do the trick. I originally tried the liquid concentrate, but I don’t prefer using that in an HE front-loading washer…plus, it gets sticky and messy if it does happen to leak. The powder is also great dissolved in water to clean carpet stains.
Laundry powder that does the dirty work, even with cloth diapers. You get ~88 loads for $21.30.
Shaklee stands behind each and every product. The ingredients, purity, safety, and performance of all our Shaklee products are 100% guaranteed. And of course, Shaklee does not test its products on animals.
