Change Homes:Go Green

Change homes:go green is a common practice today. Starting new should influence starting fresh. Available on the market today are countless cleaning products that are much more earth friendly that that industry provided not many years ago. One such product line I am particularly fond of through experience has been around for over 50 years. Imagine 50 years ago there were people thinking that far ahead. 50 years gives alot of time for research. Shakleeis the company and green products are their mission. If one wants not to breath or absorb those nasty household cleaner chemicals or expose your children to them there are alternatives. Shaklee's claim to fame is "Basic H" household cleaner. 100% biodegradable all a person has to do is mix the concentrate according to what you want to clean. Basic H comes in a concentrate that you mix in different spray bottles (bottles are also biodegradable). One bottle would be the general purpose of which you can clean counter tops, floors, pets, car's and the list goes on and on. If you want to clean something a little more challenging such as windows one has another bottle mixed with a little more concentrate to do that. They supply you with several spray bottles that are labeled accordingly to the mix of Basic H and water. I have used this stuff in enclosed environments around our home and there is no need to ventilate the area. No harm....This is as safe as it gets. I also have put a calculator to the expense of this stuff and it is mind blowing how inexpensive it is compared to any of your everyday cleaners. We have completely reorganized the cleaning products in our home and glad for it. Bleach and ammonia are things of the past. No more harmfull chemical exposure. Wish we had done this years ago. Change homes;go green...What a nice way to start a new home and a new life.
