Giveaway weekend!

This giveaway is now closed.

Well, I�ve told you all before that I�m a bit of a freakedy freak � I kinda like to clean. Bordering on enjoy. Cleaning for me is like decluttering � when I�ve cleaned a space in our house it makes me fall in love with that room all over again. I feel like I can truly enjoy myself and relax in a clean space.

Clutter + mess = one skittish chick. Hives. Itching.

I�ve told you before how impressed I am with the Shaklee products from my advertiser Bonnie at Donahue Wellness. Shaklee produces a number of �green� items � including beauty products, supplements/vitamins and cleaning products.

We are gathered here today to talk about the latter � the fantastically wonderful cleaning products! I had not tried these before I �met� Bonnie a few months ago, and I was a bit skeptical of anything with the green label. I had been trying to incorporate more green cleaning products into my routine, but most of the time I found them to be way more expensive, and they worked just the same�sometimes not as well.

Enter Shaklee �- whooeeee! I LOVE THIS STUFF! I have told you before and I�ll tell you again, I would not gush over something unless it is truly gush-worthy, and this stuff is.

Last time we did a this giveaway, I showed you how I was surprised over and over at how easy it was to use the products, and how well they worked.

Well, I continue to be impressed with Shaklee. This time, I tried a few different products. I wanted to show you a couple � starting with my new favorite cleaning product�Scour Off:

We�ve lived in our house for six years now, and I�m going to tell you a dirty little secret � I never clean our oven. I�ve scraped off goo plenty of times after cooking, and have tried to clean the oven numerous times. Most of the time with products that just didn�t work, and with the self clean twice. But the self clean freaks me out. The fumes are intense � I�ve even read you should remove all people and animals from the house?!

OK, taking the three-year-old out is no biggie. But a three-year-old and three cats? Not happening. And who wants to leave their house when the oven is at 900 degrees? Not me. Both times I�ve I tried it, I turned it off mid-way because I couldn�t stand the smell.

So, when I got the Scour Off, I thought I would try it on our oven first. Here�s the before shots:

I cannot believe I show you people this stuff. Please forgive me for not cleaning my oven. Good thing I never cook.

I just took a wet sponge and dipped it into the Scour Off:

Can I tell you something fantastic? This stuff smells incredible. Like bubble gum. I kid you not. It looks like it too. I kept smelling it over and over. Almost licked it. (Totally kidding!) It smells yummy!

I just swirled it on the oven door and could not believe the result:

The last picture would have have been even cleaner, but the Bub was hungry and �Honey, Mommy is finally cleaning the oven!!� just wasn�t cutting it. ;)

Do you know how many times I�ve tried to clean that window and door? I�ve even tried to just scrap the junk off � didn�t work. I was squealing with glee! Now, next time I cook (in six months), I�ll have a clean oven!

We�ve been trying out other products as well, including the laundry supplies. It is insane how little you need to use. Just nuts.

I am loving the dryer sheets too -- (I took my Bounce Bar out to give them a try) � they are veggie-based so they�re biodegradable. And they split in two in the dryer to distribute more softness:

Isn�t that cool?

As I�ve mentioned before, every time I use these products I say �Wow� out loud � I�m always impressed. I am now a Shaklee customer for life. (Seriously.)

Today while I was cleaning, I went through a few bins in our linen closet and pulled out all of the cleaning products the Shaklee Basic H2 Concentrate replaces:

All of these � kitchen, cabinet, stainless steel and hardwood floor cleaners (and I forgot to put the window cleaner in the shot!):

Are now replaced with this:

Don�t believe me?:

What�s even crazier is I�ve had one bottle of the concentrate for four months � and I�ve mixed it into two spray bottles � one for upstairs and one for down. The concentrate is still not even half way gone.

AND � it�s only TWELVE DOLLARS. I would guess the products I pictured above cost at least $30. Because I hate clutter � I actually took all of those products down to the basement to our �extra� stash. But since I don�t use them anymore, I�ll probably just end up donating them.

Right now there is a special on the concentrate product � if you buy the 16 oz. size, you can get three spray bottles for half off. (The Shaklee spray bottles actually work and they are cauuute!)
