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.
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.
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.
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!)
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!)
So this Earth Day do something good for the environment and your family and ditch all the nasty chemicals and try Shaklee!
(PS! If you are looking for a great way to make some extra money or even just to get a discount on awesome products – Shaklee has so much more than just cleaning products! – join Dani’s team! You ca learn more here.)
And guess what? We are giving some Shaklee away!! 6 people will win! WOO HOO!
First place winner will receive:
1 Scour Off Paste & 1 Basic H2 Sample (This sample is big enough to make 1 bottle of All Purpose Cleaner and 1 bottle of Window Cleaner)
Five Runners Up will each receive:1 Basic H2 Sample (Again, this is big enough to make 1 bottle of All Purpose Cleaner and 1 bottle of Window Cleaner!)
Good luck!
Those sound like great products. I will definitley have to check these out.
Oh wow!! LOOK at those windows sparkle now. You have reminded me that I need to get busy and get my windows washed.
That window is SUPER clean. When we take out the trash each week, our recycle bin is overflowing (same size as the trash) and yes the trash is only half full!
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.
Looks like some great stuff. Going green is our only hope!
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!
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!
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!
I’ve always wanted to try these products!
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. 🙂
It’s amazing what a dog can do to a window. Great sounding cleaning products, I do love a green product. x
Never heard of Shaklee in my life, sounds like an interesting cleaning product and I also like the name of their brand.
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
I’ve used the Shaklee product line in the past. It’s quite impressive!
Wow, the panel comparison is seriously scary. We try to go green by using natural/green products, but I want to start making more of my own cleaning supplies. So much healthier for all of us.
Perfect post for Earth Day. I am always looking for green cleaning items.
Well I was expecting yet another nutritional drink when I heard Shakelee. I have not heard of these. We are trying to go green so I will check these out.
I think it is great that these cleaning products are safe for the environment and for the family.
I have never heard of Shaklee. Sounds like they make great cleaners. I need to check them out.
The glass really is sparkling clean. I’m so impressed with those two drops!
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.
I have heard of this but never tried this brand.

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.
One thing I do to be green in my household is to use washrags instead of paper towels,.
I haven’t heard of Shaklee but it looks really good. It did such a great job on your house, I’ll have to give it a try.
Shaklee makes some great products.
Those sound like great products. we try to go green by recycling.
I love using green cleaners whenever I can! I haven’t tried Shaklee but I will be looking for it.
I just recently heard about Shaklee. I want to start making my own cleaning supplies. Hopefully soon!!
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.
I haven’t tried Shakleee. I can relate to the window situation. Our puppy always has his nose and sometimes leans his body on our picture window!
The window looks great! I’m guessing that a little Shakleee goes a long way?
I didn’t know Shaklee was still around. They’ve added to their product line, too. I’ll have to check it out.
I don’t think I have ever seen these before, but I will definitely keep an eye out.
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!! =)
WOW! I love how much safer it is. I’ve been trying to use better products in our house.
I’m always looking for more green products to use. Thanks for sharing 🙂
I’ve heard great things about these products. I’m working on getting rid of the typical cleaning products in our home. These would be great replacements!
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.
I would love to try this for my kids fingerprints! What a great job!
Wow! These look like some really great products. I appreciate good products that last a long time.
My windows definitely need help…especially with a toddler and two slobbery dogs! Thanks for sharing!
Great line of products your lucky you got to host a give away. how cool
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!
I love that more companies are coming out with green cleaners. This stuff sounds great!
What great natural projects. I like that a little goes a long way.
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.
We try to go green with our cleaners, and also recycling!
Those look like some nice products. I might have to give them a try!
I need some of that cleaner for my windows. I was just looking at them the other day thinking that they need a good cleaning!
My windows are also SO dirty. It’s embarassing but they’re just so hard to clean.
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!
I am always looking for organic products including cleaners. I had never heard of Shaklee before. Thanks for the review. I will check it out.
I love the Shaklee shakes, they are what I eat a lot of mornings. I need to check out the rest of their products.
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!
Those are some great cleaning products! I’ve actually used them before and loved them.
I am not sure that I have seen that brand of cleaner before. I will definitely keep an eye out.
We try to ensure all our scraps go to compost
THis is such a great Idea. I will have to try shaklee and their clean green cleaning supplies.
