Today we're celebrating MomDot's big birthday celebration for Trisha, and I wanted to showcase a few of my favorite organic and all-natural product choices, and give some away, too. I hope you don't mind at all, or anything :)
(NOTE: There are 3 total giveaways here, be sure to visit all 3!)
I have to confess to you something. I lurve me some Shaklee. So much so I used to sell it (don't anymore). That is how much I love it. I still order when I need something, my children take their vitamins religiously, as do I.
But my favorite product of theirs, hands down, is their Basic H2. I bought this bottle January 2007. Did you read that? I *bought* the product for this review two years ago. This is not a review of something given to me. This is a bottle of Shaklee Basic H2 that I've been using since January 2007. Wanna know what?
I'm still using the same bottle.
This is the size of the bottle if you order the 16 oz. This is what mine looked like when I first purchased it, or a month or so after getting it. (I took this for my own record).
This is next to my toaster oven. Not a small bottle by any means! It's super concentrated, too, which means only a couple drops per 16 oz bottle of water for windows, and a few more drops for your countertops and general cleaning needs.
With this, a little goes a long way.
Do you know I use this instead of carpet cleaning solution? It gets our carpets SO clean, and soft, and no chemicals for baby dude to be crawling all over. No smell, either.
Do you know I also use this to wash our cars? It gets all kinds-of foamy for the kids, and works great at getting the dirt off.
This thing is hands down, an all-in-one cleaner, and proves to you why it's one of my favorites.
Do you want me to freak you out a little bit? It's what, May 2nd 2009 now, yes? That's 28 months since I purchased that bottle, right? I use this diluted everday, for my kitchen mostly, my bathrooms once or twice a week, the carpets once a month or more, the car every week. Each time I need more, I take this concentrated bottle out, fill up the spray bottle, drop a few (or more) drops in for whatever I need, and I'm good.
Want to see what it looks like now, 28 months later?
That's it. Want to talk about saving money, going green, better for the environment.
There's one way to go right there. How much does your store-bought cleaner cost you? What about a cleaner for the bathroom, a cleaner for the kitchen, the window cleaner, the car wash stuff, the carpet cleaning stuff, etc. Add all of that up, and you're looking at major savings!Is it really any surprise that Shaklee's Basic H2 get's my "Crazy Family of 8" Seal of Approval?
Win It! - CLOSED
One winner will receive a 16oz bottle of Shaklee's Basic H2!
To enter, comment here and tell me what cleaners you're currently using at the moment, and approximately how much it costs you to get them when you need them (the cost per bottle/box, etc. All combined). I think it might amaze you when you put it down here in the comments, and that number is staring back at you, and begin calculating in your head how much you might save in a year, let alone however long it'll take you to get to the bottom of the bottle (28 months and still going strong!)
For extra entries (each entry is 1 entry, and each must be commented separately):
- Head on over to the Shaklee site and tell me which other products you might like to try.
- Subscribe and/or follow my blog, and/or follow me on Twitter. I'm CrazyAdventures (1 entry for each, and if you already do, for any of them, it counts!**)
- Stumble, Kirtsy, or Digg this post! (1 entry each site)
- Tweet this post on Twitter! (1 entry per tweet - unlimited entries available)
Winner will be chosen using Random.org. Contest ends Sunday, May 31st, at 10pm CST
*Edit* Winner is #9

I use a whack of different cleaning products, it would be wonderful to use just one Shaklees basic H2 sounds right up my alley, as I have a crawling little boy and would be safer for him and easier on the pocket$$ for me!!! Thanks for the chance to win

I added Kirtsy not sure on what to do next though!!

Bleach-2.25-month

Our poor enviroment-My poor lungs.
My main cleaner is soft scrub and an all purpose. I spend between 2.50 and 4.00 per bottle. They last me probably 3 months

I started using Better Life products at about 5 bucks a pop--we've been using a lot lately though because of this swine flu, so it's hard to estimate the average cost. But that's amazing at how a little goes a long way!

I have started using Nature's Choice green products. I probably spend about $5-10 per month easily. Maybe more. I could so use this cleaner in my house.

I've been using Windex multipurpose. It works, but it is far from natural.
We use soap/water for most of our cleaning needs. I try to buy it during triple coupons at the grocery store.

that sounds great. i'm interested in their laundry detergent too.

Oh wow! You really want me to pull my big list out. It would probably scare you. It's probably $20.00 a month in cleaners. I could use a all-purpose that is good for the environment too!
I follow your blog.
Well you asked for the list so here it is:
Scubbing bubbles
Pine Sol $3
Clorox Clean Up
Easy Off $3
Pledge
Clorox Bleach $2
As far as $$ totals, I honestly have no idea
I would love to try the Home Clean Starter Kit.

Oh dear, I have a feeling it's a big bad number and I don't think I can even figure it out. But I buy stuff from Costco in bulk and still nothing lasts me THAT long! Or is so all-purpose. I would love to try this, thanks for the giveaway!

I use too many cleaners to count! But I normally buy them with coupons and sales. so I get em real cheap!

I use a kitchen surface cleaner, fabuloso, tilex, bleach, scrubbing bubbles, 409, vinegar, and a few more I can't think of at the moment. Having one cleaner for all that would be not only convenient, but would save money, space, and cut down on our trash!

I currently use Windex and Fantastic. I buy them in bulk so i'm not quite sure how much they cost each month. I'm sure it's a lot more expensive than Sahaklee though

I would also like to try the Get Clean Starter pack so I could get rid of our old chemical cleaners. It replaces 830 bottles of conventional cleaners so it's great for the environment as well.
I use SHAKLEE! I honestly couldn't tell you what it costs because one bottle goes such a long way. I purchased spray bottles for my daughter as well. When she comes home from college, I fill hers up again. Between the two of us, we've shared a single bottle off Basic H2 for almost a year and it's about 1/2 full yet!
I'm trying to get my son to use it as well so his son will be able to crawl on their floors safely.
I use Windex, Scrubbing Bubbles, Clorox Toilet Bowl cleaner, and those Clorox Wipes. I would say that they cost me about $12 a month. Ouch!
I would love to try the Shaklee H2, Thanks for the chance =)

What cleaning products do I use? I have a whole cupboard full of them from Scrubbing Bubbles to Windex to Magic Erasers, etc, etc, etc. I know I spend a lot on them so I would love to win this so I can stop. I guess if I don't win, I can always go and buy some.
