Good, Wednesday, morning! Today we focus on another place we frequently have our hands and may not think to disinfect. Though we don’t need to be OCD about it, it helps to wipe it down once in a while.
Make it a GREAT day!
The Basic G wipes can be found here.

Best laid plans gone wrong… *sigh*
It’s Thanksgiving, the turkey is roasting in the oven, the potatoes are cooking in the crocks, the green bean casserole is ready to go in the oven, the rolls are prepared, the pumpkin pie is ready to bake as well. The oven is limited in space as the turkey is a mere 22 pounds.
I set my beautiful pies into the oven, on the bottom shelf, start to slide the shelf in and *****SPLASH***** the liquid pie mix splashes all over the oven. Half the mix goes into the oven (out of the pie shells) and the house begins to fill with smoke!
So, the exhaust fan went on “super” setting the pies and the silicone mat in the oven came out to clean up. I wiped up what I could from the oven door and closed up the appliance so everything else could finish cooking… The day after, here are the results!
Here is what my lovely oven looked like the day after.
Pan from under the pie… UGG
So I got out my tools. Basic H2 diluted and Scour Off.
I started by scraping up the solid pieces that weren’t attached and scooped them onto a piece of paper. Then I sprayed the degreaser strength Basic H onto the oven floor and simply wiped it up with a fiber-cloth towel. Only a bit of crusty stuff remained.
I then use the Scour Off with water to complete the task. This amazing product is a sweet smelling cleaning paste. (Safe for my glass top stove too.) Smear a bit of the paste on, spread it out with your cleaning cloth and add plenty of water. I let it sit for a bit, then using a circular motion with my cloth I begin rubbing the stained spots.
Finally, I rinse it all down with a wet cloth and it is done! Best part is, I have company coming over in 10 minutes to watch Purdue and IU try to lose to each other and my house isn’t filled with stinky fumes, I’m not gagging and don’t need to reach for my asthma medication, my daughter can play and run around and all are safe while my oven is like new inside!
These are the amazing products I discovered when CLB was born, 7 1/2 years ago and have continued to use. A bottle of H2 lasts me 3+ years and the Scour Off lasts me years as well – making them very affordable options and saving me TONS of cash at the grocery store. I started with the Get Clean Kit – $99 for $3400 worth of cleaners!
Last night, in my Temple Maintenance class we were discussing choices. All the choices we make, how many times a day we are voting with our dollars and our actions.
Our overall health is determined by our overall LIFESTYLE. The choices we make profoundly effect our health on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis!
What choices am I talking about? Simple choices made every day.
Why are the last two choices on this list? Let me show you. Doris Rapp is a board-certified environmental medical specialist and pediatric allergist. She has done extensive research on the effects of allergens and CHEMICAL exposures.
The photos I am sharing are in regard to studies done with children. As adults, we must realize that if our children are effected, then we certainly are too! These are some of the examples from the above book.
We have so many children being labeled as ADHD these days. We have them sitting in classrooms for 6-8 hours a day with NO recess, surrounded by toxic cleaners that are inhibiting their brains ability to function at its optimum potential.
In class last night I referenced this piece, below, and the reaction the girl had to Choline bleach exposure – through the ductwork of the home. Mom was in the basement laundry room and the girl was in her bedroom. What effect is that bleach having on the person who is actually acutely exposed? (We don’t use bleach in our household – we use the Get Clean line of cleaning products.)
Below, the Teacher is commenting on the change in the student’s writing pattern. An outsider, with no knowledge of what was going on, noticed the difference in the before and after.
Finally, here is an example with Pinesol. This parent changed to the Get Clean line of cleaners for a week, didn’t believe that it could have that big an impact on her child, so went back to the Pinesol to test her hypothesis.
The Solution? (pun intended)
Switch out the toxic cleaners in your home for cheaper, concentrated options. Vinegar and baking soda are one option. Here is the option I choose!
Price is something that concerns many of us. Not me, I’m saving SO much on my cleaning products, its amazing!!! And they WORK! Just ask my skeptical husband. 
These products are available piece by piece if you choose to finish what you have on hand first, OR – as a kit to swap it all out at once, as I did, or even in mini kits for the different areas of your home!
Begin voting today with your dollars, not as many dollars as you have been using. Tell the toxic industry, we are no longer interested in what they have to sell. We do not wish to pay them to poison ourselves or our families.
For exhausted, busy moms… They can clean all day and we know they are safe. (So are our pets if they decide to wash them too!)
Asthma rates increased 160% in children from 1980-1994 and have continued to increase since. One culprit is the many, toxic, household cleaners we use in our homes. In the past 7 years, since I changed to non-toxic cleaners like the one below and began making healthier nutrition choices, I’ve need my asthma medication for a total of 1 week as opposed to daily prior to that time.
The non-toxic argument is why I began using it… The AMAZING results and myriad of jobs it can do with the tiniest amounts has kept me hooked on this great cleaner!
This product is used in the White House, by Jacque Cousteau on his fleets, by Purdue University in their Dairy Operation, and many others! It is a safe alternative that works while keeping our homes safe from toxins and poisons.
Economical – ½ Gal makes up to 192 gallons of powerful cleaner see cost comparison below.
Highly Concentrated Organic Cleaner - Environmentally Safe; Biodegradable
NO: Phosphates, Chlorine, Borates, Nitrates, Fragrance
LEGAL STUFF SHAKLEE MUST SAY: Some plastics may be sensitive to the cleaning agents in Basic-H².
Do not use Basic-H² on plastic or fiberglass without contacting the manu-facturer for compatibility with cleaners with linear alcohol ethoxylates. Although Basic-H² is U.S.D.A. approved for hand
washing, Shaklee does not recommend the product for personal care. An eye irritant, Basic-H² should not be used to clean contact lenses, plastic-forward lenses, or plastic-glass frames. Because of risk of irritation, particularly among young females, Basic-H² should not be used as a bath additive in any amount, even when diluted. Bath additives require special testing, which has not been conducted on Basic-H². For the same reason, Basic-H² should not be used as a general shampoo or dandruff shampoo.
Do not mix Basic-H² with Basic-G Cleaner. The water wetting agents in Basic-H² inactivate the germ-killing agents in Basic-G. In case of eye contact, flush with water, as Basic-H² is highly concentrated.

Earth day 2012 is rapidly approaching. All of the media will soon be touting all the great things we can do for Earth Day. My family and I work to make everyday, Earth Day, in our home.
Yes, we drive V8 vehicles, we aren’t perfect, but we do maintain them very well and track their performance to be sure they are running at optimum levels. What else are we doing in our household, you ask.
We work at not using disposable products, as much as possible. We wash our dishes in the dishwasher to save water, we recycle everything we can. Speaking of dishwashing…
Five years ago I switched all of our grocery store cleaning agents to non-toxic options that are highly concentrated. This means we don’t pay to transport water AND we save tons of green. $$$
