Shaklee Review and Giveaway

November 22, 2011 - 40 comments
***This giveaway is now closed***

Andrea from Maia the Bee asked me to do a review of Shaklee's Basic H2. She gave me a sample to try and these opinions are 100% my own.  She's going to give samples of this awesome product to 5 of my readers! And this wee little sample of Basic h2 Organic Super Cleaning Concentrate is enough to make 16 ounces of window cleaner, and 16 ounces of all purpose cleaner!  Just add water!



 

Cool, eh?

I started by trying the window cleaner on a mirror in my kitchen that seems to attract dirt at an alarming speed.  Here's what it looked like before:

 

And here it is after being cleaned with Shaklee Basic H2 concentrate, diluted to make window cleaner:


After trying the window cleaner, I started looking around my house for something to clean with the all purpose cleaner.  I saw these crayon marks on my cabinets and thought to myself  that there is no way this organic cleaner was going to be able to remove crayon from my cabinets.  I was wrong!

Before:





And after light scrubbing with my basic h2 and water.

 

Not too shabby!

The best part?  Shaklee products are super safe (apparently basic h2 is so safe you can use it to clean fruit and veggies!) so I can let me children do some cleaning, knowing that they aren't handling dangerous and toxic products!



Andrea is going to send samples of Shaklee's Basic H2 to five of my lovely readers.  There are three possible ways to enter, increasing your chances to win!

    I have been wanting to try this for a while! I only use natural products in my home, and have experimented with making my own cleaners, but this seems to work wonderfully!

    Please pick me! I just started following your blog this week and I'm so excited to try some things on here :) I'm excited to try the cleaner everywhere, but especially where my 3 yr old son has been practicing his artistic skills! I really hate having toxic chemical cleaners in my house but I have a hard time convinceing my husband that we should make a change. And honestly I'm a little skeptical usually and I don't want to waste money.

    wow, looks great! I'd love to use it on my color crayon wall too!:) My 2 year old also loves squirt bottles and though we keep cleaners locked up, it'd be great to know it wouldn't be too bad if he squirted some to help mama=)

    What to use Basic H for?! Everything! I use it to spot-treat our clothes when they get stains. I've used Basic H for years, but unfortunately I don't know of anyone selling it and we're running low.

    I just found your blog. Nice to meet you! I think just about everything in my house needs a little Basic H2, but I would start with all those tiny little windows in the french doors that I never clean. And guess what. I still wouldn't. I'd make my kids do it. [insert evil laugh of your choice].
