Re: A Poll that I should have done during the week!?!?!?
Well i use Shaklee products, i switched about half a year ago. They have everything to clean your house. The reason i use this is because it is safe for our environment and also for us. I hated smelling the other products when i cleaned and i know it is bad. So i switched and i am very happy with them.
I dont vacuum i only wash floors, since we have to carpet.
The one product that i always need to have are the cleaning wipes lol i am addicted lol.
