Broom Huggers is switching loyalties!

By mudlark • February 17th, 2008

There are so many great companies out there who make non-toxic, safe, environmentally-friendly cleaners. As a company, it’s always hard to weigh the pros and cons of each and make an informed decision about what to use. Until now we’ve been using Organic Excellence (whoops! There goes a trade secret), and we were quite happy with it. In fact, we’re still happy with it. It does a great job, it’s fully biodegradable, Green Seal approved, and it’s highly concentrated. All around, it’s a great product. But it lacks a ’sexy’ quality. And well, we are Broom Huggers, aren’t we? We want something affectionate. Something hot. And to meet that need, we found Shaklee!

What makes Shaklee better? Well, to be honest, it’s about equal to Organic Excellence in its cleaning power and efficiency. The cost is basically identical too. But who loves Shaklee? Let me just tell you. Shaklee has been loved on by Oprah, Time Magazine, Womens Day, Family Circle, Fast Company, Parenting Magazine, and Better Homes and Gardens. Oh. And my clients love it too. When I started putting the word out that we were making the switch, you’ve never seen so many ear to ear smiles!

The packaging and marketing are better too. The bottles are user-friendly (and *pretty* too!). And they have more options available – different cleaners available for different purposes. Scented and non-scented varieties are available for some of their products. But do you know what’s really great? 3 things:

Shaklee H2 (what we use most) is Green Seal certified
They’re KOSHER! (Can you believe it??? A Kosher house cleaner!)
The entire company is zero footprint. Yes, climate neutral. They’re the first company to acheive that. Impressive.

So that’s it. We’re switching. We’re excited. And we think you should be too. But for now, I’ve given up enough company trade secrets, so that’s all I can tell you!
