Go Green, Save Green

Incorporating some easy green practices into your life can benefit you in a multitude of ways. True, going green is good for you and the planet, but did you know it can also save you a huge amount of money down the road? Shaklee Get Clean® products offers you safe, powerful, and budget-friendly cleaning solutions that can help you and your family live happier, healthier lives. Here are a few back-to-basics tips to help get you going:

Use Less – Spend Less
Get Clean products are super concentrated, saving you thousands of dollars —ounce for ounce for products that outperform or match 15 national brands! You would have to spend more than $3,400 on conventional, ready-to-use products from major name brands to get the same amount of clean you’ll find in the Get Clean Starter Kit.†

Go Green AND Save Money
The one and only Basic H2® is a versatile, super concentrated cleaner with a thousand uses. Ninety-nine percent natural and 100-percent powerful, Basic H2 replaces many of the cleaners you’re probably buying now — window cleaners, all-purpose cleaners, degreasers, floor cleaners, tub and tile cleaners, and more — saving you money and space. Get Clean Basic H is the ultimate multi-tasking cleaner! Look how much you would have to spend to get the equivalent cleaning uses!

To get the same amount of clean as one 16-ounce bottle of Basic H2, you would have to spend:
• Nearly $482 for the equivalent amount of all-purpose cleaner
• $12,250 for the equivalent amount of window cleaner
• $144 for the equivalent amount of degreaser

Run Dishwasher Only When Full
Make the best use of that nifty appliance that makes life easier—our friend the dishwasher. You can save a boatload of water, energy, and money by running the dishwasher only when it’s full—especially if it’s Energy Star-approved. Throw in a concentrated, phosphate-free detergent such as Automatic Dish Wash Concentrate that is so powerful that a pre-rinse isn’t required, and voila! There you go saving money and the earth yet again.

Give up Paper Towels
Remember that old tie dyed shirt you wore once and hid in the back of your closet? Put it to good use. Rather than going through rolls of paper towels, cut up old t-shirts and athletic socks and use them as cleaning rags to wipe up spills. Or, if DIY isn’t your cup of tea, try our Super Microfiber Cleaning and Window Cloths that are super-absorbent and can be washed and reused hundreds of times.

Ditch Bottled Water
We all know water bottles pile up in landfills and pollute our planet. They also have financial implications—meaning they can be expensive when you add it all up. By switching to filtered water, not only are you keeping waste out of the landfills, you’re also saving big bucks. The BestWater® PerfectPitcher® is NSF-certified and serves up delicious, clean water that can be poured into a glass to be enjoyed at home, or a portable, reusable water bottle if you’re on the go.
