Feature Friday ~ Scour Off

Welcome Friends! I am happy to have you here for another addition of Feature Friday where each week I share with you a different Shaklee product. I share with you how I have used it in my home and how it is helping my family for the better!

Today I am going to share with you another product from the Shaklee’s Get Clean Line. It is called Scour Off. It is an all natural scouring agent, that is very effective yet safe to use in your home and around your family. It contains no toxic or harmful ingredients and works so well! I am very interested in doing what is best and safest for my family but I also want it to work. I don’t want to say I use it only because it is safe. Today I want to share with you some of the ways I have used it in my home, these are not pictures off the internet, they are actual examples of how I have used it.

My top 3 uses for Scour off are:

1) Sink scouring

2) Stove top and oven scouring

3) Bathtub scouring (I don’t have before and after pictures of how I have used it in my shower but it is great for rust stains, soap build up, and any other scouring you made need to do in your shower and tub.)

Below is a picture of how shiny and beautiful my stainless steel sink looks after scouring it with Scour Off!

Don’t you just love how it shines!

Below is the bottom of my oven before and after scouring it with Scour Off! I also sprayed it with Basic H before scouring it to help loosen any baked on grime. You can learn step by step instructions as to how I cleaned my oven here.

Here is one great reason for your husband to love Scour Off too!

What a difference!

Another great example of how it can save you time in the kitchen is to use it to scour out your crockpot pan and baking dishes.

Some other great things I like about Scour off are:

It smells great! Unlike some scouring agents or pastes that leave you choking, Scour Off is made from cherry pits so you will never feel like you are inhaling toxic chemicals.

It is inexpensive and will last forever!

Thank you again for joining me for Feature Friday! I love to share with you how to make your home healthier and happy!

Feature Friday ~ Basic G ~ All Natural Germicide

Welcome back to Feature Friday, where each week I share with you a new Shaklee product that is changing my life and my family’s life for the better! Today I am going to share with you another product from Shaklee’s Get Clean Line. For me this is another must have for my home and family, with kids and pets in the home it is important to keep things clean and germ free, especially in the bathrooms and kitchen. I no longer have Bleach, Lysol, or any other disinfectant/germicide in my home except for Shaklee’s Basic G. A couple weeks ago I shared with you Basic H (you can find that story here), a super concentrated all purpose cleaner that does hundreds of things, the only thing it doesn’t do is kill germs, so I also have Basic G in my home for the areas I like to kill germs and keep them away.

Are you under the belief that just because it is sold in stores that it is safe for you, your home, your family, and also your planet?? Well think again! There is no Federal Drug Administration for cleaning products. If you are required to use bleach in the work place gloves and masks are required to do so. How many of you wear gloves and a mask to disinfect your home? I sure never did! Did you know that to dispose of unused household cleaners you need to take them to a toxic waste site? I didn’t until I found Shaklee’s all natural, safe cleaners and was trying to find out how to dispose of my old cleaners. I am not going to go on about the dangers of Bleach and other disinfectants, if you are still curious after reading this please look it up and learn more.

What I am trying to tell you is that these products ARE NOT SAFE for your family! The good news though is that there is an alternative and it is not only safe for you, your family, your home, and planet but it is all natural, and it will truly save you money in the long run. Yes you heard me right. It will save you money!

Here is what Basic G can do for you:

• It kills up to 99% of bacteria
• It kills 32 pathogens, while Lysol only kills 8
• It is non-flammable, non-toxic, and biodegradable

 

Cleans, Disinfects, & Deodorizes in 1 easy step!

 

Basic G has a three year shelf life. Its residual effectiveness lasts up to three days after application. Chlorine Bleach used as a disinfectant is effective no more than one hour. Great wherever disinfectants are used!

 

Basic G is the most effective!

 

• Keeps killing up to three days
• Kills 44 types of bacteria, fungi, and viruses-including HIV virus
• Use in bathrooms-toilets, garbage, diaper pails, appliances and pet areas
• Keep in spray bottle at kitchen sink-spray counter tops, cutting boards, faucet and refrigerator handling after preparing eggs, chicken, and meats to kill Salmonella
• Kills several animal viruses- including Canine Parvovirus and Feline Leukemia
• Use as an air freshener
• Safe for stainless steel and aluminum
• Spray on carpets and vacuum to eliminate odor

 

Like I said earlier, it can save you money too!

 

1 qt. of Basic G makes over 600 16oz bottles of antibacterial Cleaner like Lysol
1 qt. of Basic G makes 454 16oz bottles of disinfectant spray like Clorox

 

Tough on germs! Gentle on the Earth!

 

The two main ways I use Basic G is in a spray bottle for my bathrooms, counters, sinks, and anywhere else I want to kill germs.

I also love to make my own disinfecting wipes! Here is my recipe for that:

What you will need to make them:

• Paper Towel, I use Walmarts Great Value brand, it is a giant roll, and is exactly like Bounty but cheaper.
• An air tight  container, I use a 3qt container, but whatever will hold a half roll of paper towel will work.
• Measuring Spoons
• 2 cup measuring cup
• 2 cups of water
• Basic G
• Basic H, I add this also for extra cleaning power

What  do:

1. Cut roll of paper towel in half. It works best if you use a sharp, non-serrated knife and saw back and forth until you have cut through the paper towel. You should have two equal halves. You only need one at a time though, save the other for later.
2. Pull cardboard tube out of center of paper towel, this may seem strange to do before but I have found that if you don’t take it out before and get it wet it makes the towel smell skunky after a few days.
3. Place paper towel in air tight container.
4. In two cup measuring cup fill with 2 cups of water.
5. Add to water, 1 teaspoons on Basic G and 1/2 – 1 teaspoon of Basic H. After you have been using Basic H for a while you will feel comfortable deciding how much works for you.
6. Pour water and Basic H and G mixture over top of paper towels. Let sit until paper towels have completely soaked up water mixture, this should only take a few minutes.

You can use you disinfecting wipes wherever you would have used Clorox or Lysol wipes, anywhere you want to disinfect. They are great for travel too!

Feature Friday ~ Basic H2

Welcome back to Feature Friday, where each Friday I share with you a new Shaklee product that I love and is changing my family and life for the better! For my very first feature for me it was a no brainer! I have come to love so many things Shaklee has to offer, in fact everything I have used to date I still use and I LOVE! But for me I new exactly what I would share with you first: Basic H2, super concentrated all purpose cleaner.

I am sharing this first because it is the very first Shaklee product I purchased and used in my home and I haven’t looked back since. I would love for you to listen to what I think about Basic H2 but first I will share with you how it is changings others lives and helping to make life easier for them. Here are some of my dear friends and family members who are using Basic H2 in their homes and this is what they had to say:

~Basic H2 is useful in my home on a daily basis. I keep the mixed solutions in a spray bottle on my kitchen counter. It's great for quick clean up from kitchen spills on the floor, also use it on all the counter tops. I even use it to clean up our doggie bathroom messes.  It works great for taking off wall paper.  The bottles last you a very long time and well worth the money I will continue to purchase Basic H2.  ~ Sandy

~I have been a house painter for 29 years. In all that time I have never found a product that works better than BasicH for stripping wallpaper. It is, bar none, the most effective and easiest way to soften the paste and remove the paper without harming the wall underneath or gassing myself with toxic chemicals. It is safe, easy, and pleasant to use. One tsp in a spray bottle of water is more than enough to tackle the toughest paper, that is a fraction of the cost of the stuff with all the warnings on the label. ~Kathryn Miller (Snowbird Painting)

I purchased my first bottle of Basic H2 in June of 2012, so almost a year ago. I bought it because I had been experimenting with safer, and cheaper household cleaners. I was using a lot of baking soda and vinegar and I was sort of happy with them . I was happy it was less expensive and I was so happy that it was safer for my family but I despised the smell and they didn’t clean as well as I would have liked. So in searching for something I liked better, yet was safe for my family, I ran across Basic H2 and Shaklee. I had heard of Shaklee from when I was  kid, my mom had used it a little and I new my aunt had used it also so the company’s name rang a bell. So I ordered a bottle of Basic H2 and I was really happy with it. I became happier the more I learned about it and how much it could actually do!

Here are some of the experiences I have had with Basic H2:

As a fruit and veggie wash……

Tar removal from skin……(you can read more about that here)

Tar removal from shoes…….

Cleaning a wood chair……..nail polish, paint, stuck on food you name it!

And some pictures others have had experience with using Basic H2:

Carpet cleaning……

Crayon removal…..

Cleaning stainless steel……

Wood……..

Wood floors……..

As you can see it really is an ALL purpose cleaner! There are 100’s of uses for Basic H2! And I still haven’t shared with you the best part about it……….

It is all natural and SAFE for YOU, your HOME, & your PLANET!

It is 100% non-toxic and safe! For once your children can help you clean without the worries of harmful chemicals.

Here are my top 10 reasons why I love Basic H2!

1) Glass cleaner

You can eliminate ammonia based window cleaner without nasty streaks.

2) Degreaser

Mild enough to clean your windows but strong enough to use as a degreaser. I use it to degrease my stove top and also my chainsaw! Yes I have a chainsaw

3) Carpet Cleaner

I love to grab my bottle of all purpose cleaner and to do quick spot treatments on my carpets. It is also wonderful in a carpet cleaning machine.

4) Cost Saving

I am saving tons of money by using Basic H2! For a 16oz bottle of glass cleaner it costs me 1 cent! For a bottle of all purpose cleaner it cost about 3 cents!

5) A little goes a long way.

Basic H2 is as I have said, Super Concentrated! One 16 oz bottle could last you a year or more!

6) It is SAFE for my family!

When I am cleaning my counters, floors, and windows I know that the little hands and feet that follow in my foot steps will be touching a SAFE, clean surface. There is nothing more important to me than keeping my family safe!

7) It makes a great shower cleaner. I add it to a little refillable scrub brush and keep it in my shower and scrub when I have a few extra minutes. You can read more about that here.

8) Fruit & Veggie wash.

I also wash all my fruits and vegetables with the same thing I clean my home with! Yes it sounds crazy but this stuff really is that safe! You can read more about that here.

9) My children can help me clean!

Again this is that safe, my children can clean with me!

10) I can share this with others and make their homes safer too!!!!
