Shaklee to the rescue once Again!

Hello all!

Let's start this blog post with a negative and then finish on a positive note... k?

So while having a little looksy around blogland yesterday I came accross this from one of my favourite bloggers.... none other than the Thrifty Decor Chick.
  

So I decided to look through my garage sale box from last summer and I found this beaut.

I got out my craft paints...

And when I went to mix the two of them in an old container... the one on the right... the brown one, squirt a little too hard, and a bunch of paint ended up on my fave yoga jacket!!!! 

 I love this jacket, it makes me look feel so svelte!  ;-)

Here's a pic of it with the Permanent acrylic paint on it.

Sorry, it's not very clear, but normally I would have just thrown it in the wash (or garbage),

but I needed pics for evidence (and blog).

I got out some of Shaklee's Nature Bright...

and cause I was in a hurry sprinkled too much EVERY-WHERE!!

(That's one big mess!)

I added a bit of water and made a paste with it

and rubbed on my jacket.

Then I ran upstairs and got more clothes to add to the washer.

And started a load of laundry!

SURPRISE!!!!

Here is wha it looks like now.

Not one spot of permanent-acrylic-fast-drying- paint on my jacket!!

Yay!

 While I waited to find out if I had permanently ruined my jacket, I tried to deal with my craft fail...

I got out one of my other fave Shaklee products..., Basic H2

 I put a few drops of Basic H2 on the super-stuck-on sticker on the glass, and let it sit for a minute or so. 

 

Then I grabbed a cloth and wiped it clean.  No sticker.  No residue. No effort (and frustration)! 

NADA!!

Here's the frame afterwards.

So, are you wondering which is the craft fail?  That brown that I painted on the frame, is really gross looking. 

Kind of like a milk-chocolate brown.  And milk-chocolate brown is great looking on a chocolate bar... but on a a picture frame, it looks like... you know what...

Eeeewww.

So I'm still working on the craft... I'm thinking my usual black frame will have to do.

But here's the yoga jacket before and after again... cause I'm sooo darned excited, the paint came off!!

Before

After

Awww... lovely once again!

By the way is anyone else going to the Bingeman's Blogger event tonight?

I am so excited that I was invited... with the family!!!

Be sure to say "hi"!

I may or may not be wearing THAT yoga jacket. ;-)

How I Clean my Ceramic Cooktop Stove

Have you ever come accross a product that you absolutely L-O-V-E?

And you just wanted to tell everyone about it?

Well I have two of them, actually!

The first one is Shaklee Scour Off Paste.


I showed you here how I clean my oven.

Here is a before & after of the glass door...

Before & After of inside of oven...


I also use it to clean my ceramic cooktop.

You know.... when you are accross the room and the pot on the stove top is boiling over and baking on to the stove top, and all three of your kids will NOT move out of your way fast enough and then you end up with this...

and this...

It's gross!  I KNOW!!! Well this happens too often in my household.

While I was making my chicken stock yesterday, it happenned again!

This is how I clean it...

I add some Scour Off to a scrubber and rub on to my ceramic cook top.

Then I leave it on for a few minutes and go do 100 sit-ups

or down ward dogs or something.

(laughing my head off at this point). 

More like I went to answer the phone and get an impatient 4 1/2 yr old little boy another snack "cause I'm dying of hunger MOM"

Then I simply wipe it all up with this wet rag...

And it looks like this...

Now it's ready for another cooking session (and boil over).

My second favourite cleaning product is Shaklee Basic H2.


I use it for everything!

I've shown you here how I clean my kitchen stools.

BEFORE

AFTER

Like new once again!

I also use  the "degreaser formula" to clean my stainless steel stove.

(For degreasing: Add 1 1/2 tsp. to 16 oz. of water. For bigger jobs, add 2 oz. to 1 gallon of water.) 

This is what it looked like... the BEFORE



I know the grease spots are not really visible, but THEY ARE THERE!!

And the shiny AFTER...

The entire cleaning of my ceramic stovetop and the knobby area

(and front that I forgot to take pics of)

took about 15 minutes.

(including taking pictures of course)

Here's the PROOF!!

Of course I didn't spend all of that time cleaning... because... did I mention I have a very inpatient 4 1/2 year old? 

I seriously don't know who he gets it from ;-)

How I Clean My Oven & a Linky Party


How often do you use your oven? In the Fall and Winter, I seem to use it just about every other day if not every day. Are you like me?

So in my quest to get ready for winter, I cleaned my oven.

Of course I used one of my fave Shaklee products, Scour Off.

Here's the product description on my Shaklee online site .

"Scour Off™ Heavy-Duty Paste

Size: 250 g

Great for the toughest cleaning challenges

Here’s an exclusive scouring cleanser that sets a new standard. It’s a paste, so it doesn’t form dust clouds. It cleans stuck-on messes. It even cleans burnt-on food in your oven.

And it doesn’t burn off your nose hairs in the process"

Oh Scour Off, you had me at "And it doesn’t burn off your nose hairs in the process."

(My self-clean oven doesn't self clean any more and when it did, the smell in the house was disgusting.)

Here are some before pictures...

And the AFTERS!!!!

(I just put a dab on a dollar store scrubber and added water and rubbed all over the yucky messes.)

I also use Scour Off on my ceramic top stove to get cooked-on-spillovers off. 

It's magical and smells like bubblegum!

Here's a testimonial from a couple of happy Scour Off users...

Claudia C.: "I used the shaklee scrub and it worked great on my stove!"

Amelia: "I used it to clean my Wood Stove.  It was fantastic!!"

If you would like any more information about Scour Off please visit my Shaklee Site or e-mail me if you have any questions.

I'm linking up too. and also here

And now the Get Ready for Winter Party.

The Rules:

1.  Link-up ANY project you have been working on (I'm not picky).

2.Link up with the intended post not your Blog home page.

3. Let others know about it.

How I Clean My Fridge & A Giveaway

Yesterday, I happened to open my fridge to put something away and I noticed that 'one' of the shelves was a little "messy". It stopped me dead in my tracks!!

When was the last time I cleaned the inside of the fridge? I'm thinking pretty sure it was at the end of June (just before end of school). hmmm... I think...

With the three kids (and their friends), family visiting from overseas, and the busyness of summer, my fridge has certainly taken a beating been worked to the max!!.

So I emptied the contents of the fridge onto the counter...

(Yes, I love my condiments!)

Then I took a moment to photograph the awful mess...

(Disclaimer: I'm really a clean person, I promise.)  

I think it's spilt milk that someone tried to wipe up... but didn't.

  

Dried-on juices... ( the pictures doesn't do it justice) 

No idea what this is... syrup... ketchup... don't know.

This was under crisper boxes.  eeeewwww

  

This is where the shelves slide in...

Fruit Crisper box:  Kiwi Fuzz!?!?

I know, it's gross!!

So I emptied it of its contents and then got my

 Shaklee Get Clean Hand Dish Wash Soap.

So, why did I use the dish soap instead one of the other Shaklee products?

A neighbor, long ago, once told me that the soap that she used to wash her dishes

was the same one she used to clean inside her fridge.

She figured if it was safe enough to put food on, it should be safe enough to keep your food... safe.

Anyhow, this has always stuck in the back of my mind and I've always cleaned the inside of my fridge with dish soap.

Plus...

• 
  
   It's Gentle & Safe & Biodegradable
• 
  
  It has No phosphates, borates, nitrates, fragrances or dyes
• 
  
  It Cuts grease on baked-on food without chlorine
• 
  
  It is Effective in hard water
• 
  
  It is used for fine washable
• 
  
  It is Economical – a few drops cleans your greasy dishes
• 
  
  And it is easy on your hands! 

So then, I used one drop of soap on of these scrubbers...

And put about 1/4 tub full of hot water in my sink to wash the shelves... and

The Walls and the inside of the doors.

I think total I used about 3 drops to clean the entire fridge (inside and out)!!!

Then I wiped everything off with a microfibre cloth.

Look how Clean it is!!! heavenly

( I can't believe how excited I am about a clean fridge) 

And now I feel it is safe to return the food back into it!!!

Then I wiped the front of the Fridge with Get Clean Basic H2.
