Get Clean Household

Basic H2® Organic Super Cleaning Concentrate

Basic H2 is the most versatile and safe cleaning product on the planet, with a 1,001 uses. [13] One little 16 oz bottle creates an unbelievable 48 gallons of really powerful, all purpose cleaner, OR as much as 5,824 bottles of 26 oz. Windex®. It’s safe to use on any washable surface – indoors or out – including walls, windows, mirrors, countertops, floors, appliances, stoves, and furniture made from sealed woods. You’ll want a few inexpensive Squeeze Bottles to simplify filling up those Get Clean Spray Bottles.

Scour Off™ Heavy Duty Paste

This wonderful product is a healthy replacement for chorine-based scouring powders (Comet, Ajax). Chlorine splashed on your clothes burns holes, and those abrasive powders are about as safe to breath in as asbestos. Scour Off sets a new standard because it’s a paste, and doesn’t form dust clouds. It even cleans burnt-on food in your oven, without burning your nose hairs in the process.

Get Clean Laundry

Fresh Laundry Concentrate (liquid) 32 oz.
This wonderful liquid laundry concentrate is HE Compatible, meaning that it is low-suds, which is kinder to your washer and our water supply. It also leaves your laundry free of fragrance or soap residues, so it’s skin friendly as well. It’s a two-in-one cleaner, effective as a pre-spotter and as a laundry cleaner. One small bottle cleans 32 medium loads, the same amount of clean as most large bottles of conventional liquid laundry detergent. It’s formulated to help prevent dyes in colored clothes from transferring from one garment to another during wash. Don’t forget to get a 1/4-oz. Pump Dispenser for the 32 oz size container.

Fresh Laundry Concentrate Fragrance Free (powder) 5.5 lb.

If you prefer powder to liquid detergent, hypoallergenic Fresh Laundry contains natural enzymes to get your clothes extra clean while being gentle on the planet. A 5.5-pound box washes 88 loads, 75% more loads than the same amount of Tide® Original.

Nature Bright® Laundry Booster and Stain Remover

Instead of chlorine, natural enzymes and active oxygen in Nature Bright helps to re-brighten your laundry, de-stain upholstery and way more. Laundry Booster removes soil stains 13% better than OxiClean®, and is comparable to Clorox 2® Stain Fighter when used as a pre-soak. Isn’t it worth waiting a few hours to pre-soak to avoid using caustic chemicals to remove organic stains from wine, grape juice, coffee, blood, or grass skid marks? It can also safely remove stubborn stains from carpet, upholstery, and patio furniture.

Soft Fabric Fragrance Free Dryer Sheets

These veggie-based, recyclable, and non-toxic fragrance-free drier sheets can provide static-free goodness to your laundry. Comparable to the leading anti-cling products from Snuggle® to Bounce®.

Get Clean Kitchen

Hand Dish Wash Liquid Concentrate

This delightful liquid Dish Wash is tough on grease while being kind to your hands. As Shaklee states on their website: You need only a few drops to tackle a pile of greasy dinner aftermath. Really. Just a few. This is an exercise in restraint.

Dish Washer Automatic Powder Concentrate

If you use a dish washer, most folks wait until the machine is full, giving those dishes a chance to really hold onto debris. Because you only need to use 2 teaspoons per load, it would take more than two and one-half boxes of Cascade® powder to clean the same 48 loads. Even better, it contains absolutely no chlorine and no fragrances, which can pollute the air that you breathe.

Hand Wash Concentrate

Hand Wash Concentrate is not just for your hands! This total body wash contains wheat germ oil to moisturize your skin, marshmallow and linden flower extracts to soothe, and rosemary and arnica extracts to energize. Now you can get clean while your skin feels like it took a day trip to the spa! You’ll probably want a few Dispenser Pump Bottles to spread around the house.

I haven’t had the time to organize any Earth Day events for the last 6 years, but I know I am doing my part by using all these Earth-friendly products every day.
