3 Reasons to Use Shaklee Basic H2 for a Healthy Home

Category: Healthy Home

Why should you choose eco-friendly household cleaners over conventional, chemically scented, harsh toxic cleaners found on grocery store shelves? The answer is in the question itself.

According to a 2013 report by the National Capital Poison Center, 55 percent of poison exposures involved medications, pesticides, and household products. Of that, over 2,700 of the cases involve children over 6 years old: 1,758 were due to cleaners, 509 were caused by antimicrobials, and 470 were due to pesticides.

Ask yourself this question. Would you trust a product whose ingredients can bring serious harm to your children, loved ones, and pets? If you want your home to be a healthier, safer place, replacing these types of products would be an excellent place to start.

It’s Not Easy Being Green

A majority of the cleaning products that we’ve grown accustomed to contain a myriad of irritating and potentially dangerous chemicals like petroleum, formaldehyde, phthalates, phosphates, ammonia, chlorine and extremes of pH (strong acid or alkali).

Over the past several years, studies have shown these chemicals are not only damaging to the environment but also hazardous to human and animal health.

Despite the negative impact of many household cleaners many people seem willing to take the risk. For one, conventional cleaners like bleach are cheap, or so it seems. They seem to be effective against a broad range of hard-to-remove stains and dirt. Another thing is that we have become conditioned to believe that certain strong, chemical smells are the sign of a truly clean home. Unfortunately, this is far from the truth.

Should having a squeaky clean house cost you your health?
What if you could have products that are backed by science, that work great and are tested to be extremely safe for everyone in your home, too?

Shaklee’s Basic H2 Means a Healthy Home

Here are three reasons why it’s the perfect solution for safer, more cost-effective housekeeping.

1. Super-concentrated power and economical.
   
   What’s amazing with the Shaklee Basic H2 is it’s made to be super concentrated, so an amount as small as two droplets can make as much as a 16-ounce spray bottle for window cleaning.
   
   A mere 16-ounce bottle of the H2 concentrate can make up to 48 gallons of cleaning solution, or about 5,824 bottles of a 26-ounce Windex. You read that right! When you translate that to dollars and cents, it means you pay less than 1 cent per gallon of window cleaning mixture. That certainly beats even the least expensive, no-name, dollar store brands! 
   
   And for those that feel that less toxic options such as baking soda or white vinegar are an economical 'green' alternative, it would be very hard to beat the cost effectiveness of Shaklee's Basic H2.




2. Green and eco-friendly beyond the label, yet potent enough to remove the most stubborn stains.
   
   Studies show that mass-produced commercial cleaners that are marketed as “green and environment-friendly” are not exactly as green as they claim to be. There's even a name for that seemingly innocent deception. It's called 'green-washing'.
   
   Most of them still contain hazardous chemicals such as glycol ethers, a deep-absorbing stain remover that can cause anemia, skin irritation, and birth defects. What’s worse, these products can penetrate the skin even when you’re wearing rubber gloves!
   
   Shaklee H2 relies on nature’s most potent stain removers and antiseptics that were designed with a patented technology to target stains, fungi, molds, and bacteria up to 72 hours after application without breaking down the natural makeup of  any surface or fabric.  




3. Made with ingredients that are perfectly safe for pets, children, and adults.
   
   Pets absorb toxic chemicals faster than humans because of their smaller body mass. Conventional chemical-laced cleaners stay on surfaces, get absorbed through the skin, and accumulate in the bloodstream, which is disastrous for both humans and animals. 
   
   Having a general purpose cleaner that you can safely use for cleaning your baby’s playpen or your furry friend’s food bowl is such a blessing. And Shaklee offers it!
   
   The secret? It’s all in the power of nature!

Here’s Dr. Bruce Daggy’s take on this: Most companies that sell home cleaning products allow their formulators to use any legal chemical ingredient, right up to the maximum concentration allowed by law. They will also use extremes of pH that can be irritating to skin and lungs. These products will have warning labels, but we see so many warning labels that we tend to ignore them. In the case of such products, you really must pay attention to the warnings. The commercials might show a homeowner using the product without gloves, with no evident open windows or exhaust fans on, with a pet or child right there. They want you to think the product is safe, regardless what the fine print on the label says.

Shaklee took a different approach, making safety the paramount consideration. Shaklee thought about how cleaning ingredients can cause harm. As a result, many legal ingredients were not allowed. Extremes of pH were not allowed. Shaklee was also one of the first companies to offer phosphate-free cleaning products, so much better for the environment. And the cleaning compounds (surfactants) are readily biodegradable, meaning they break down quickly in the environment. That's particularly good if you have a septic system or, like me, use water from the laundry to water your fruit trees. And the fact that Shaklee cleaners are so concentrated also greatly reduces packaging waste.

Don't stop with H2! Try all the Get Clean products. Here's a helpful hint: One scoop (2 tablespoons) of Nature Bright added to a wash cycle works well for periodic cleaning of your washing machine, at a small fraction of the cost of retail products.

Life made easy, economical and hazard-free!

For over 20 years, Basic H2 has been refined to deliver exceptional cleaning power through nature. By leveraging on the synergy of naturally available ingredients, Shaklee has created a safe product powerful enough for multiple uses with a tiny droplet!

It’s the dynamic solution to your pressing household cleaning questions like:
• Is it safe and non-toxic?

• Is it earth-friendly? made from organic ingredients that don’t disrupt the nature balance.
• Will a bottle last a very long time?

Shaklee’s answer: Definitely!

Here are some testimonials from satisfied customers:

Because nobody’s done it yet doesn't mean it can't be done. For decades, Shaklee Basic H2 users—many of whom made the switch from traditional household cleaners to the H2 due to asthma and allergies—have found that Shaklee Basic H2 is proof that a super clean home can be achieved without exorbitant costs and the health hazards associated with other cleaners. 

A clean home should also be healthy and safe, and that doesn't have to cost a lot. Isn’t it time you had that kind of confidence in your household cleaners?
