UNSAFE INGREDIENTS = UNSAFE PRODUCTS

Many common cleaning products that are purchased at the grocery store contain warning labels that the products are dangerous, poisonous, or flammable. When exposed to heat, aerosols can explode and cause accidents, serious injury or death. Cleaning your home or offices shouldn't be a risky job. Unfortunately, the majority of cleaning products available in retail stores are unsafe, harmful, toxic, and even deadly. The American Association of Poison Control Centers reported that exposure to many popular household cleaning substances can be serious enough to require treatment in a medical health facility.
  Unsafe cleaning products can be more dangerous than a loaded gun. The National Safety Council reported that "more children under four die of accidental poisonings at home than are accidentally killed with a gun at home" You wouldn't keep a loaded gun under your sink or in your bathroom yet millions of households keep extremely dangerous household products where children or pets might accidentally get them. How many chemicals do you breathe in your home?
 
  You know that good, healthy feeling you get when you've just cleaned your house? Sorry to spoil it, but you may have just made your home dirtier. Think of it this way. You wouldn't let your kids play with toxic chemicals, so why would you let the baby crawl over a floor that's just been wiped with them. That's much more dangerous than the orange juice that was just there.

 How dangerous? Just take a look at these statistics.

  •  Over 90% of poison exposures happen at home.
  • Common chlorine bleach is the #1 household chemical involved in poisoning.
  • Organic pollutants, found in many common cleaners and even air fresheners, are found at levels 2-5 times higher inside your home than out.
  • A person who spends 15 minutes cleaning scale off shower walls could inhale three times the "acute one-hour exposure limit" for glycol ether-containing products set by the California Office of Environmental health Hazard Assessment.
  • Common cleaners give off fumes that can potentially increase the risk of kids developing asthma, the most common chronic childhood disease.
  • 1 in  13 school-aged children has asthma. Rates in children under five have increased more than 160%.
  • Children are highly vulnerable to chemical toxicants. Pound for pound of body weight, children drink more water, eat more food, and breathe more air than adults. The implication of this is that children will have substantially heavier exposure than adults to any toxicants that are present in water, food, or air.   
  With virtually every cleaning product available in the supermarket containing toxic, harmful, and potentially, deadly ingredients, how is it possible to keep a clean home while being as safe as possible? For over 50 years, Shaklee has been at the forefront of health and safety. The Get Clean  household cleaning line contains everything you need to keep your home clean and safe, while protecting the environment at the same time. The Get Clean Starter Kit contains all of the products in the Get Clean line, as well as accessories. The starter kit is available in regular or fragrance free.

    Shaklee...Putting the Green in Clean

    What is Earth Day?
    Earth Day was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson on April, 22 1970. He was concerned about the growing environmental crisis and sought to make it a known and debated issue. Beginning as an environmental “teach-in” in Philadelphia on April 16 lasting until April 22, with no official governing body, it grew at the grassroots level to a global day of environmental awareness.
     You can lead the Way to a Brighter Tomorrow and you can help the EARTH by helping your family and friends see the Shaklee difference. Shaklee has been the ENVIRONMENTAL LEADER for over 50 years, even before the first official Earth Day. Share the Dream of a Cleaner and Healthier tomorrow not just for Earth Day but EveryDay.
     In keeping with the pace and trend Shaklee has developed a cleaning system any steward of the environment would love to have. It is called Get Clean and comes in a starter kit that has everything you need to replace all the toxic cleaners most households now use and out-performs 11 national brands. This kit helps to eliminate 108 pounds of waste from landfills, 248 pounds of greenhouse gases and is the equivalent of planting 10 trees. People using these products have already saved enough plastic from going into landfills to circle the globe over 19 times.


            



    GET CLEAN is safe for you, your home and planet. Many household cleaning products not only have serious health effects, but they can be just as dangerous to the environment. When left-over cleaning products are discarded, they can add toxic and poisonous chemicals to the earth. Also, storing partially used chemicals can cause toxins to seep out and pollute the air indoors, posing serious risks to those in the home. In a 15 year study released at the Toronto Indoor Air Conference, women who worked at home had a 54% higher death rate from cancer than those who worked away from home. The study concluded that the deaths were a direct result of increased exposure to toxic chemicals....many of which are found in common household cleaning products.
     At Shaklee, we believe every day is Earth Day, and that each and every one of us can make a difference and an impact on our planet, one person at a time. This Earth Day, we have a mission and a goal to keep the planet and families healthier, creating 50,000 healthier homes by introducing Shaklee products to our loved ones and our community.
    Yes, you can make a difference. Start with your household, your family, your friends, your community, your city. It can have a ripple effect which can literally and figuratively change the face of our planet.
     If your home is anything like the average U.S. home, you generate more than 20 pounds of household hazardous waste each year ( the EPA designates toilet cleaners, tub and tile cleaners, oven cleaners, and bleach as hazardous waste).
    If you would like more information on the Get Clean Starter Kit go to my product website: http://healthnetwk.myshaklee.com. Get Clean will give you revolutionary cleaning choices that are SAFE, POWERFUL, GREEN & SMART. YOU can make a difference for your family & the world our children will inherit. Purchase a Get Clean  Starter Kit and save $7.00 now thru April 30,2011. When you order direct from my site a refund will be mailed to you.
     
    Whether or not you agree with the politics behind Earth Day, leaving our planet better than we found it has to count for something. We can choose to buy concentrated products that we add water to, to lessen the amounts of waste or reuse or recycle our trash. We can use non-toxic cleaners that keep chemicals out of our water. Our world is changing as it has throughout history, what we choose to do or not to do, will impact our future.

    Have a great week and remember to make every day count and live energetically, live purposely and live completely!
