People are often under the false notion that "green" household products cost more. I am here to tell you -- after 23 years of using them -- that, if you are using Shaklee products, that notion is incredibly false!
Look closely at the photo to the left. It's the bottle of Get Clean Hand Dish Wash Liquid Concentrate that I am currently using. The 6-13-13 marking that you see on the bottle is the date I started using this particular bottle and this photo was taken on June 13, 2014 -- one full year later! As you can see, there's probably about 5 ounces left which means I'll be using it for at least a few more months!
I'll acknowledge that I'm just one person using it; but I use it daily as directed on the bottle which states:
"Apply a few drops to a sponge and wash dishes as usual; a little goes a long way."
Because I'm just one person, I only run my dishwasher (with Dish Washer Automatic Concentrate) once a week at most and with using that as directed -- one small scoop (2 tsp) per dispenser -- that product lasts forever too! That being said, there are certain dishes, mugs, blender bottles, and utensils that I use daily, so I wash dishes by hand daily. This isn't the first time I've had a bottle last so long. Another bottle lasted 18 months!
I haven't purchased typical store brands in 23 years, so I honestly don't know what they cost; but at $6.90 (Member Price) for a 16 oz. bottle of liquid dish concentrate that lasts 12 to 18 months, I'd say that's a great deal! In addition, look how many bottles I've kept from the trash or recycling bin!

I was first introduced to Shaklee in 1991 by way of Basic H -- now Basic H2 -- which is an incredibly effective, economical, earth, pet and people friendly household product that has hundreds of uses. When used as directed, Basic H2 makes window cleaner for less that $.01 per bottle; all-purpose cleaner for about $.03 per bottle and degreaser for about $.17 per bottle! Reducing exposure to toxins inside your home by changing brands of household products is one of the simplest things you can do to protect your family's health; and YOU WILL SAVE MONEY too!
When needed, my pots and pans and heavy-duty cleaning chores get a little extra love from Scour Off Heavy Duty Paste.
When you choose Shaklee Get Clean products, not only are you using products that will not expose you, your family or our planet to toxic chemicals; you are eliminating packaging waste and the energy costs associated with shipping all those bottles and boxes. One of my favorite benefits of Get Clean products is the convenience of having them shipped to my door so I can totally avoid those toxic smelling aisles in the grocery store. Have you ever thought about how those toxic smells are coming from CLOSED bottles and boxes!!!
Unfortunately, just like the word "natural" the word "green" has been terribly misused. You are at the mercy of the company behind the products you are buying and there are a lot of companies out there that have jumped on the "green" bandwagon. Some companies start out with nobel intentions and then are bought out by big conglomerates who engage in "greenwashing" and put profits before the health of people and our planet.

Shaklee has been "creating healthier lives" and helping people live "in harmony with nature" since 1956, long before it was the thing to do. They first introduced original Basic H -- one of the very first nontoxic biodegradable cleaners -- in 1960! Spend your consumer dollars on products that are safe from a company with a conscience. Choose Shaklee Get Clean products for all your household needs and encourage your churches, schools, day care centers, etc., to do the same.
If you are lucky enough to have big and little helpers in the kitchen and with household chores, teach them -- with the help of Get Clean products -- to use less. Remember, "Less is More." It's a great Get Clean lesson and a great life lesson too!
