::Closed:: What Lurking Under Your Kitchen Sink?

The Winner is: Angie!

Spring is in the air and I’m in the mood to clean. With little kids and pets in the house I try my best to use the safest products as possible. I’m always on the look out to try out products that are not only safe for my family, but good for the enviorment as well.  I was ask to review a Shaklee Get Clean kit in honor of Earth day this year.

I was asked to compare what was under my sick and the harsh chemicals that were used in them, to Shaklee Get Clean Kit. Here are some of the harsh chemicals that I found in my house hold cleaners: kerosene, phenols, cresol, lye, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, sulfuric acid, petroleum distillates, ammonia, sodium hydroxide, butyl cellosolve, phosphoric acid, formaldehyde, chlorine bleach, morpholine, phthalates. Along with these components I also took a close look at the instructions, most bottles say” use in a well ventilated area”. It’s shocking to me that I use these products in places where there are no windows and no true way to ventilate. So as I’m cleaning I’m harming myself with the fumes these cleaners can give off.

For my review, I thought I would tackle a place in the house that gets messy fast. It’s a place that I take care in cleaning, because we use it every day with our food. I will show you a before and after picture of our microwave. I have used it several times without covering the food for this review.

To get started I had to mix the ingredients. I mixed the 1 ½ tablespoon of the Basic H2® Organic Super Cleaning Concentrate with 16 oz’s of water. That’s it. This makes the degreaser that you use in the kitchen. After mixing it I noticed, there is not a strong order or any fumes. I simply sprayed this in the microwave and wiped it out. It left my microwave looking like new.

Now for the best part, one of my followers will have a chance to win their own Shaklee Get Clean Kit
