The “organic” cleaner compromise

Filed under :Uncategorized

Why do “non-toxic” green cleaners get such a bad rap?  People know that what they are using are very toxic and harmful, but there is a great mis-conception out there that if you go “GREEN”  in your cleaning supplies, that your house won’t be as clean.  Why do people think this?  Because they bought the “organic” stuff in the market place and their results were…..  “UNDER WHELMING”  at best.   Or they made the supreme sacrafice and used vinegar, lemon juice and baking soda with less than “stellar results.

They work with these products for about as long as they can stand and then one day, in the market, they see the cleaner they used to use, that cleaned the shower so well, and they make YET another compromise.  They say, just this once. 

They spend 15 minutes in the shower stall cleaning, choking and gagging, but they have a clean shower and if the products were “that” dangerous, they wouldn’t be allowed to sell them.   ( At the time of cleaning, if the EPA came into your shower and read the “toxins meter” your home would be 4X’s the legal limit of unsafe toxins, and they, OSHA would shut you down if you were a factory.

Shaklee products are and always have been “SAFE”,  NATURAL, and EFFECTIVE for almost 50 years.  There are no compromises when it comes to using Safe, non-toxic, effective household products.

If you knew your household cleaners were considered Hazardous Waste would you continue to use them?

Have you ever taken a look at what a city or recycling center will take or not take?  Seriously, go to your towns web site and take a look.  Household Chemicals  ( the ones we spray all over and clean our floors and windows, and bathrooms with) are considered “hazardous waste”  and should NOT be dumped down the drains ( interesting!)  For proper disposal, they should be brought to your local facility for proper disposal. 

Yes, these products that we keep under lock and key and pull out while the children are napping and spay all over the place.  In essense, we are spaying hazardous waste all over our homes while they are sleeping.

If “they” make it, it must be safe.   WRONG!  don’t assume anyone cares for your well being.  They aren’t regulated and so if they don’t self regulate, ( which cost a lot more time effort and money) they are going to produce something that does the job, but hasnt’ been tested for safety.

9 out of 10 poisonings are a result of a household cleaner!  And over the past 30 years there have been over 81,000 chemicals registered with the EPA , of which less than 20% have been tested for safety.  …and there are no regulations that say that they MUST.

Stay tuned… much more to follow.
