Green when green was just color!

Green Seal^tm Certified

After developing the world’s first multi-vitamin/mineral product in 1915, Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee founded his company in 1956 with a commitment to develop products to improve the health of people and the health of the planet. He introduced one of the first (if not the first) biodegradable, nontoxic cleaner in 1960. When you use Get Clean™, you're never simply cleaning. While you make your home cleaner, you make your family healthier.

Over the decades, the company had developed such an Earth-friendly reputation, that scientists were coming to them for help. They participated in seven of Time-Life’s 25 Greatest Adventures of All Time. These include Jacques Cousteau and the Cousteau Society to provide environmentally friendly cleaning products for use onboard their research vessels, the Calypso and Alcyone. The also provided products for the first recorded expedition by god sled to the North Pole, led by National Geographic award-winning polar explorer, Will Steger. Here is a list of a few of their other accomplishments in the “Green” world:

In 1990, they had their main nontoxic, biodegradable cleaning product chosen as one of the first official Earth Day products.

In 1991, their cleaners (and other products) were selected for use in the Biosphere 2 Project in Arizona.

That same year, they introduced one of the world’s first phosphate-free automatic dishwashing detergents.

In 2000, they became the first company in the world to obtain Climate Neutral certification and totally offset its carbon emissions, resulting in a net zero impact on the environment.

In 2000, they opened their world headquarters, one of the first green, energy-saving, award-winning buildings designed using sustainable materials.

In 2002, his company received the Environmental Protection Agency’s Climate Protection Award.

In 2007, they were selected as a U.S. EPA Climate Leader, and is the EPA’s first consumer products company to offset 100% of its carbon emissions and use 100% green power.

In 2007, they became the first company in the world to offset its carbon emissions by providing sustainable energy to electrify villages in Africa in partnership with Millennium Promise.

In 2007, President Clinton and the Clinton Global Initiative recognized Dr. Shaklee’s company for its carbon offset and creating renewable energy in Africa.

In 2007, they were honored with Global Green USA’s Organizational Design Award for its outstanding environmental leadership role.

In 2007, they were selected by the nation’s leading child advocacy group, Healthy Child Healthy World, to be the exclusive partner for a new video, Creating Healthy Environments for Children.

In 2008, they were awarded the “Best Corporate Environmental Responsibility Program” by the American Business Awards.

As an Independent Distributor of Shaklee products, I provide non-toxic, biodegradable cleaners to those attempting to make their homes as “green” as possible. They are not only “green” but also safe and powerful. You should not have to sacrifice powerful convictions for powerful cleaners, and vice versa. In many instances, you have to choose between having cleaners that are as mean on the environment as they are on dirt, or you have nice, sweet, eco-friendly cleaners that don’t do diddly. Now you do not have to make a choice. These products are totally “green” and show dirt no mercy.

The products offer you cleaning choices that are SAFE, POWERFUL, GREEN and SMART. Because when it comes to keeping your house clean, your family healthy, and the earth safe, you shouldn’t have to choose. They also contain no phosphates, borates, nitrates, or other stuff the planet doesn’t appreciate. And by making them super concentrated, we leave you to add water so we can subtract waste. Less weight to ship. Less product to use. Less packaging to throw away.

The Organic Super Cleaning Concentrate is a double-concentrated super-safe, powerful cleaner. It is a no-rinse, no-residue, streak-free formula. By altering the mixing ration, it can be an all-purpose cleaner, a window cleaner, a degreaser, and a hundred other uses. As an example, it only takes 2 drops of the concentrate and 16 ounces of water to make a completely competitive window cleaner, and ¼ teaspoon in 16 ounces of water to make an all-purpose cleaner.

Using the starter kit, instead of ready-to-use products, you're helping reduce over 100 pounds of packaging waste from landfills and eliminating 248 pounds of greenhouse gases.

This product meets the Green Seal^tm environmental standards for industrial and institutional cleaners based on its reduced human and aquatic toxicity and reduced smog potential.
