No they did not get me a kiddie pool. But I did jump in and out of it all day long. Getting soaked, cooled off and them back inside to clean for awhile. Thankfully I did not have to 'bust a move' inside with the help from Shaklee products. I first made up some cleaner for the counters and such. I used the Basic H2® Organic Super Cleaning Concentrate. For all-purpose cleaning: Add 1/4 tsp. to 16 oz. of water. Ultraconcentrated – 16 ounces makes up to 48 gallons of super powerful cleaner when mixed with water. That is .21 cents a gallon for member cost. For windows and mirrors: Add 1-2 drops to 16 oz. of water. 1 bottle of Basic H2 equals the cleaning uses of 5,824 bottles of 26 oz. Windex®. That is less than .01 cent for a 16 oz bottle. Amazing!

Then I had to do the dishes including some nasty pots and pans. Thankfully I used Scour Off™ Heavy Duty Paste to clean them up. And oh does my arthritis joints jump for joy here. No hard scrubbing to do. Sure did make it an easy and quick job. If you battle this disease then you understand how much a simple job as nasty pans can reduce you to tears. I am so happy that my wrist are not screaming out in pain yet my pots and pans are shiny once again.
My last job was laundry. It has piled up this week. The heat is great for drying the clothes on the line. In the time it takes to wash a load, the ones on the line are completely dried and almost feel like they have been ironed. But I was out of the laundry soap that I make up. So instead I used the Fresh Laundry Concentrate HE Compatible (Liquid). It only takes an ounce to do a load. That makes it only .40 cents a load. Not bad there either. And I loved the scent. It was like the ocean breeze was blowing in. I could feel the sun on my back from the open back door. The water running in the washer. And the scent from the Shaklee laundry soap.....made me sigh in relief. I never thought that doing laundry would feel so nice.
Now that was quite a bit of housework to do today. Between the trips to the pool, I had managed to get the kitchen floors pretty wet. So I popped out my Libman Freedom Mop and did a quick job of it. Yes, I did use the Basic H2® Organic Super Cleaning Concentrate in the mop too. So versatile. And I did not even slip or slide.
I am proud to have the house clean again. And to have accomplished it in this heat. But I know it would not have been possible without my kiddie pool and Shaklee. I do wish to tell Shaklee thanks for providing the supplies. They were a gift from my recent California Dreaming visit with them. Oh and by the way....an extra bit of information. All Shaklee products are always safe, always work and are always Green!
I have always wondered what the Shaklee was all about. I give you props for putting up with that heat. Do you guys have the high humidity there like we have here? All you have to do here is walk outside and you sweat, I hate that.
ReplyDeleteI am going to be weeding my garden this weekend so I just may be jumping in and out of the pool I have for the kiddos.
BTW, lovin' the Chinese lantern background.
