a little OT, non toxic cleaning product question, sheri

[Guest guest]

you lost 2 ets from chemical exposure? I'm so sorry that's terrible.

Gabe came home last night but his liver levels were still worrisome.

The vet felt as long as he could keep down fluids, he would be just

as well resting at home. We 'll go for a recheck next week. I

really don't think he ate anything like a plant or trash. He's a

funny guy, not really like a dog at all. Thanks for your prayers.

I am a professional pet sitter and have been a animal care professional for

over 20 years.

I've also been on the earthy/green side for most of that time.

My preferred products of use are

Shaklee's Basic H and Basic G

I use all their products but those are the main two I use in clients homes for

clean ups.

In addition I use OdoBan or Simple Solution for heavy soil or areas needing

deoderizers.

Our family likes to camp and I use the Basic H for all of our camping needs as

well. It has been an official Earth Day product and used by many environmental

groups.

The secret to using the produts is giving a few seconds to work.

The Basic H has so many uses that it's impossible to count.

The Basic H is for household and the Basic G is for Germicide.

Shaklee has a full range of cleaning products....

The OdoBan is available at Sams and some Wal-Marts.

The Simple Solution is available at many pet stores.

Shaklee is available thru area distibutors....

And one final word... for those of you who still use Teflon beware.. it's a

killer for birds!!!!!!!!!!!
