The two-day event was absolutely amazing with 100+ booths of companies that embrace an eco-friendly approach through their products and services. Being a clean-freak with borderline obsessive compulsive disorder tendancies, I gravitated towards a joint booth that featured Earth Maids and Shaklee, who both contribute to a toxic-free approach to cleaning.
Earth Maids, a cleaning service for homes and offices, embraces a greener way of cleaning, only using products that are eco-friendly, non-toxic, and biodegradable, by Shaklee.
Ranging from window cleaners, to dishwash soap, to laundry detergent, Shaklee's Get Clean line is both versatile and safe to use. Each bottled product is highly concentrated and can be mixed with different soap-to-water concentrations for the cleaning need on hand.
"What that means is less bottles and then it also means you're not shipping the bottles so it's less greenhouse gases, and you save money," said Jane Pederson, a Shaklee distributor.
With just a couple of drops added to one of their empty cleaning bottles and water filled to the top, Shaklee users improve their home and the Earth's environment, by reducing waste and toxins. They're just as effective in the way the clean, too.
"Most people think if you use those types of products," referring to natural household cleaners, "that they don't work as well," said Pederson.
Earth Maids and Shaklee embrace sustainability and raising awareness. Being socially responsible businesses, both strive to encourage others to make even the smallest change in their routine, for a healthier environment, and are more than willing to show other how to make these changes. Earth Maids only offers their services to homes and offices in the Phoenix Metropolitan area, however, natural cleaning tips using common household ingredients can be found on their website, along with additional guidelines on purchasing cleaning products.
