2) Oprah Winfrey Flashback
Two years ago, our company's Green cleaning products made its debut appearance on the Oprah Winfrey special Earth Day Show. It marked the first of three appearances on Oprah's show that year, including being selected by Oprah for her famous Oprah's Favorite Things Show. Oprah fell in love with the products we offer and they are now used regularly to clean Harpo Studios. For a look back at the Oprah show debut, go to: http://tiny.cc/DpmBR

3) Famous Green Cleaner
Now that you’ve watched the Oprah Winfrey show clip above, you saw how blown away she was by the Super Organic Household Cleaner. Oprah is just one of millions who have been wowed by it's green cleaning power. Here’s a short profile of this amazing product:
.....was the recipient of Parent-Tested, Parent-Approved Media Inc.'s Seal of Approval for Excellence in Parenting Products. And also recently received the "Top Pride" of Parent Magazine.
..... meets the Green Seal™ environmental standard for industrial and institutional cleaners.
.....contains no acids, no alkalis, no kerosene, solvent, or any other potentially toxic chemicals, and has no offensive odors.
.....has a pH factor of 6.5, right in the range of human skin.
.....makes water many times wetter, making the toughest stains float away.
.....is a fantastically versatile cleaner with many advantages over soap (including no soap film!).
.....does not hinder bacterial action of septic tanks or cesspools.
.....is the most economical cleaner you can buy. One pint makes 48 gallons of cleaning solution by following directions. IT of replaces 728 bottles of Windex! It saves you money in your home or business and works with the environment! Just think of the landfills not being burdened by using one pint!
..... literally has 1,001 uses. Here are just a few uses beyond washing windows, walls and floors…
ELECTRIC COFFEE MAKER: ½ tsp in a pot of water. Run through cycle and rinse.
AUTOMOBILES: Use 1½ tsp. in a gallon of water. Hose off – no wiping dry. Wash windows, chrome, etc. with paper towels or lint-free cloth, after rinsing car. Bugs and grime float away.
GUM: Use full strength to remove gum from skin, hair, carpeting, etc. Allow a few minutes to work, then easily scrape off the gum.
LEATHER: Test a section first for color fastness. Cleans leather better than saddle soap. 1 drop on damp sponge. Clean & wipe dry. Won’t harm leather.

4) Super GREEN Recipes:
These toxic-free household cleaners are a joy to use. Even my kids can clean with them and I don't have to worry. Once you learn how to use these incredible, concentrated products to clean your home, you will never want to walk down your grocery store aisle for any smelly, expensive, dangerous cleaners for your home again.
Because there are no harmful chemicals in these products, you can mix cleaners together and create some really super cleaning “recipes”. I have recipes for the following available. E-mail me and I'll send them to you to tackle some of thetoughest and most noxious cleaning jobs:
DRAIN CLEANER: Typical drain cleaners are some of the nastiest chemical cleaners you can buy to use in your home. However, by mixing some green cleaning products together, you have a safe and environmentally-friendly alternative way to clean the drains…
TOILET BOWL STAINS
OVEN CLEANER: Store bought oven cleaners contain some of the most toxic chemicals. None of which you would want to have in your home! Wouldn't you rather use something that is safe for hands and safe to breathe.
TUB AND TILE CLEANER
CLOTHES STAINS AWAY
SOAK THE IMPOSSIBLE: I have saved wedding dresses and vintage clothing with this recipe.
HEAVY DUTY CLEANER

5) Make a Clean Start
The easiest way to make a clean start for the health of your loved ones and your home environment is to order the Starter Kit. You can go green and replace all the toxic household cleaners in your home at the same time.
This kit provides a complete selection of household and laundry cleaners to take care of almost any job, and additional cleaning accessories like microfiber cloths and bottles to make green cleaning recipes, plus a caddy organizer that keeps all your cleaning supplies in one handy location.
Did you know that these cleaners are so concentrated, you can save a lot of money too? You'd have to spend more than $3,400 on store bought cleaners to get the equivalent cleaning power in this Kit!
For a complete list of everything in the kit go to: http://www.shaklee.net/sarahs/gc_getstarted1
By switching from smelly, hazardous household cleaners to these products, you’ll also make a difference in the amount of hazardous waste being disposed of every year in dumping grounds in your area.
The average U.S. household generates more than 20 pounds of household hazardous waste per year, and the average home can accumulate as much as 100 pounds of household hazardous waste in the basement, garage, and in storage closets.
When your kit arrives, clear off your kitchen or dining room table. Then go through your house room by room and look in all the cabinets, showers and bathtubs, gathering up any cleaning products. (i.e., window cleaner, polishes, cleaners, dish soap, laundry soap, laundry detergents, bleach and so on) to replace with your kit. You will most likely be amazed at the number of cleaning products you had been buying for your home!
When you are ready to dispose of store-bought cleaning products, please note the following household cleaning products are designated as household hazardous waste by the EPA, and “improper disposal of these wastes can pollute the environment and pose a threat to human health.”
Oven cleaners
Drain cleaners
Wood and metal cleaners and polishes
Toilet cleaners
Tub, tile, shower cleaners
Bleach (laundry)
See if your community has a facility that collects household hazardous waste year-round. Some of these facilities have exchange areas for unused or leftover paints, solvents, pesticides, cleaning and automotive products, and other materials.
When you purchase the kit, you help also eliminate 108 pounds of packaging waste from landfills and 248 pounds of greenhouse gases.
You can order the kit online at: http://www.shaklee.net/sarahs/product/GetCleanStarterKit
