Shaklee Review & Giveaway – Clean Green!

Earth Day Shaklee

Spring is (finally) here and I’ve been a cleaning fool! So when my friend Dani asked me if I wanted to try some Shaklee products I said sure! Why not? I’ll be honest, I’ve heard about Shaklee, but couldn’t tell you anything about them! I really had no clue what to expect.

GetCleanMiniKit

She was awesome enough to send me a Get Clean Household Mini Kit. There isn’t really anything mini about it! It was full of everything I need for a clean house (minus the housekeeper!)

I honestly thought that a clean home automatically meant a healthy home. I never really paid much attention to the labels on my cleaning products. I figured they said common sense things – you know – don’t drink the laundry detergent, don’t spray the toilet cleaner in your eyes – that kind of stuff.

The bottle on the left is Shaklee’s Basic H2 Organic Super Cleaning Concentrate and the bottle on the right is my all time favorite glass cleaner. So yes, obvious warnings. And yes, some of my glass cleaner’s warnings were because of the bottle it was in. But yes, Shaklee’s safety warning is much nicer than my cleaners! But some of my cleaner’s warnings were a little scary! Prolonged or repeated contact with skin may cause defatting (well, hey…no nevermind. This is bad people!) or drying of the skin. Then I saw phrases like “can be harmful or fatal”, “Do not get this product in contact with skin” and “Use with adequate ventilation”.

Ok Shaklee you have my attention!

So I thought I would put it to the test. We have an awesome-ly dirty window that they dog just loves to lay next to (and drool on). I thought this will be the ultimate Shaklee window cleaning test. So I looked at the directions.

2 drops(Eyeroll). Are these people serious? Water and 2 drops of cleaner?? So I sent Dani a message to find out just how big a drop was. At this point – I honestly think these people are crazy! No wonder it’s not harmful! It’s water! (I’m a bit of a skeptic in case you can’t tell!)

But I make it and bring my trusty chemical filled cleaner along with us to go clean this dirty window. Before I sprayed it I thought two things.

1. There is no way this is going to get clean.

and

2. If the WATER takes off the drool then there are going to FOR SURE be streaks. And LOTS of them.

its clean

Oh my gosh you guys. It cleaned it! And NO streaks. NOT EVEN ONE! NONE.

So here I am. The world’s biggest 2 drop skeptic. And I was wrong. It cleaned our dirtiest window with ease. And the next time that the dog licks the window at least he won’t be lapping up chemicals. (I now feel a little guilty that our dog has been slurping up who knows what for the past 16 years!)

48 gallons

So it’s safer…it cleans just as well as my favorite cleaner…what about cost? At a first glance this bottle of concentrate might seem a little steep – $12.15 (Or $10.35 if you are a member!) But this little bottle makes 48 gallons of cleaner!! That means you can fill up your bottle 384 times. Don’t worry – I did the math for you! Each bottle costs only 3¢! Plus, this concentrate doesn’t just work for windows! Use it to make degreasers and all purpose cleaners too! (You seriously want a bottle of this stuff! Get it here!)

Comments

  1. People who use it seem to love it. I had a sample once but my MIL saw it and asked if she could take it home w/her to use, and I agreed. So I have yet to give it a go.

  2. We have a few Shaklee cleaning products, including the window cleaner. They all do such a great job, and I love they aren’t harming my kiddos, pet, or the environment!

  3. I think we’re all becoming more aware of the chemicals in our cleaning products. Thanks for making me aware of Shaklee- I’ll definitely be on the lookout for their products!

  4. I’ve never heard of the Shaklee brand but am always looking for new cleaners for the home. Their products sound and look fantastic. We have so many dirty glass windows in our home that always have little fingerprints on them!

  5. I go green by reusing lots of different kinds of containers! I love to save back coffee cans, creamer bottles and other containers to reuse in different ways. Crafts, make-do toys, you name it. 🙂

  6. Wow that stuff sure worked on those windows! That is great! I love effective products when I clean. Even better that they are not harmful in the home

  7. I’ve never heard of this brand, but i’ve love to try them! At our house we cloth diaper, use cloth shopping bags, try to avoid plastic, buy local, and use herbs and essential oils.

  8. Wow, those 2 drops really cleaned your windows! I’ve never used Shaklee, but I have used essential oils for cleaning – I just love the way they make the house smell.

  9. We have a ton of windows that could use a good cleaning. Between kids fingers and cat snot, we go through quite a bit of window cleaner. I’ll have to check out Shaklee. It sounds like an amazing product.

  10. I need this in my life! Spring cleaning started two weeks ago but still lots to do. We try to use safe products in our home but they are not always available at the store! Entered, hope I win!! =)

  11. I have heard of this product before. I could have sworn it was just nutrition supplements. Nice to know they have cleaning stuff as well. I will have to try it out.

  12. Oh wow! I have never heard of these products before, but would love to give them a try! It’s amazing that you were able to get your windows clean with only two drops of the stuff – and there’s no denying that the value and price of these products are amazing!

  13. I use vinegar and water to clean many things in my home and try not to use harsh chemicals. These products seem pretty decent and I would love to give them a try.

  14. Okay, you have my attention too! That stuff is amazing, and with 4 kids and a dog I could really use some safer cleaners in my home.

    Currently to “go green” we do a lot of reducing waste by reusing and composting. We also recycle!

  15. Wow, I didn’t know they made cleaning products. I’m all about using more natural products, I will have to check out this brand!
