Get Clean Quick Scheme
Date: February 1, 2007 | Category: Cleaning, The Home
While cleaning products don’t usually garner excitement, I was downright giddy when I got a delivery from Shaklee. I’d been eagerly waiting to try out their Get Clean Starter Kit ($154.45). I’d heard that the products smell significantly better than many organic cleaners (which are well intended and all, but sometimes smell like tossed salad or the cosmetics department the before Valentine’s Day). Verdict - yes, all of the products have a light, clean scent, not perfumy, really nice. My guests have professed passion for the hand wash at the kitchen counter, which smells delicious (not fruity or flowery) and has just the right viscosity and sudsing quality. My true love is the automatic dishwash powder because it works so well, which is something I cannot say about its healthy competition. I’ve actually been very happy with all of the other products, especially the Fresh Laundry liquid concentrate. Shaklee boasts that in third-party performance tests, it removed stains and dirt 30% better than competitors like All® and Mighty® and was better at spot stain removal than Shout® Triple Action and Spray’n Wash®. Besides pulling double duty as spot remover and detergent, it is also super-concentrated, which is good for people with storage issues and the less-is-more crowd. Thirty-two ounces cleans 32 loads, whereas Liquid Tide® takes 100 fluid ounces to clean the same amount. (Also consider this: Shaklee estimates that by using the Starter Kit instead of the usual suspects at the supermarket, 108 pounds of packaging waste have been saved from landfills.) The detergent is free of hazardous chemicals and made from natural, sustainably sourced ingredients derived from corn and coconuts. Like other Shaklee products, Fresh Laundry contains no phosphates, nitrates, borates, or dyes and is safe for septic systems and greywater applications. Even more thrilling is receiving the refills to the starter kit - the waste factor has really been reduced. These products are the real deal and can be purchased without becoming a member or signing up for something more than merely cleaning house. Click here for more.

The author is so right on this. I have used the Get Clean kit since it was first available and the forerunners to Get Clean for over 20 years. The products are safe, powerful and affordable-I bought a large box of laundry cleaner 10/5/2005 (I always date the boxes) and it has lasted the two of us over 16 months with several weeks’ use left.
Our daughter and her family now have a kit and are just as thrilled. I’m resting easy knowing my grandkids are not being exposed to toxic chemicals at home!

I too, was as giddy as you were when I received my box of GET Clean after reading about it on your site. I have recently converted to a green way of life and couldnt stand the smell of other products. The Shaklee products have no offensive odor and actually work!!! Nothing is as exciting as one product that cleans stainless as well as limestone while saving the planet as well.

I loved the Get Clean products so much I became a Shaklee Distributor to sell them! Seems we are all trying to live greener a little bit at a time - what we can, when we can, you know? The BasicH2 is amazingly great at cleaning grease among hundreds of other things. I love the way my laundry is so soft and fresh. And I giggle everytime I get out the Scour Off becasue to me it smells like Strawberry Tizzlers. Cleaning green is just one more step on the journey for me and now that I sell it, hopefully I can educate others on this very simple, impactful step as well.

Wow! What a great review! You so eloquently described the scent and productivity of the products. I, too, love the Get Clean products! Shaklee has been around for 50 years and always searches for the purest ingredients. My husband and are now distributors also and it was the Get Clean products that led us to join Shaklee so we could get the products for our family. I also love the mineral based skin care line. Shaklee doesn’t need jingles or fruity scents….If you have any questions, please contact me @ [email protected] Our website is: http://www.shaklee.net/beacon

We have been using Shaklee Products for over 25 years now, and love every one of them. We began using the cleaners in our Dog Kennel and Grooming Salon. The results were very positive. No itching, no scaling, great fur and skin. We always had great comments on the results, and never had to be concerned about the animal’s health and safety - nor our kids, or septic system. (PS) We now get paid to have a Healthy Home and Family. Sold the Kennel-teach and train full-time Freedom now! http://www.miniofficeoutlets.com/PS

I couldn’t believe you used the term “giddy” when you got your Get Clean Kit…exactly how I felt. Wonderful website. Tasteful and forward thinking.

I fell in love with this company’s products 24 years ago and they just keep getting better.
I believe they prolong the life of my appliances because more than 10 years ago I put steel wool in 3 jars. In one jar I put plain water, in the second a commercial cleaner, and in the third this company’s laundry cleaner. The steel wool in the first two has rusted but the steel wool in third jar is still bright and shiny.
Samples of the ‘corn and coconuts’ cleaner are available, contact me through my website if you’re interested.

Excellent review. I’ve used Shaklee since junior high (a loooooong time) and I’m in love with this Get Clean Kit! OK, maybe not in *love*, but in strong like.

Thank you for the woderful review on Get Clean products from Shaklee. I have used their products for over 11 years. I also love their automatic dishwash powder. It always made me nervous when I was using the other popular brands. The reason is that sometimes the powder would not completely dissolve in the dishwasher. I would have to run the cycle again to make sure that there was no residue. I do not feel the same concern with Shaklee products. I have recently converted to using all Shaklee products in my home. It is amazing how much money I have saved. I no longer spend money on cleaning products when I shop for grocery. My grocery bags are so much lighter(but not my wallet). Currently,I am focusing on using Shaklee products to help schools, non for profit organizations, etc. to raise funds for their organizations and help the environment at the same time!

Those of us who have pets know that our 4 legged family members are at as great a risk as our children if toxic cleaners are used in the home. We have a GET CLEAN SAFE solution for everyone in the family! Yes, I wash my dogs in BAsic-H!
As one who rescues dogs, I appreciate the safety of BASIC-G, the only safe GERMICIDE , not part of the GET CLEAN KIT tho able to be ordered separately.at my site, along with our other GREAT HEALTHY PRODUCTS

MOTHER OF NEWBORN RAVES ABOUT THE SHAKLEE GET CLEAN PRODUCTS. “They are amazing. I cannot even smell anything on my hands after I use the handwash!!” she says. “And, I cannot believe that the laundry smells so good without having a scent put in them. I feel safe using these products!” I said, I know. Thankyou, author for reaffirming how wonderful the cleaning products are.. I like them because they are so concentrated and last for so long. (The mother of the newborn was my daughter. And, I am so glad.)(http://www.shaklee.net/Joan_distributor
