I do allot of laundry and I was finding that my front loading washing machine was starting to really stink and it seemed no amount of home remedies were resolving the problem. I did a little online research and discovered that bacteria gets in the door seals and small amounts of water left in the machine became a breeding ground for musty smelling bacteria. I also realized that that a majority of laundry detergents available in stores were a big part of the problem, the chemicals and toxins contained within these products were left behind in the machines and no amount of cleaning was ever going to eliminate this problem. A friend of mine had introduced me to Shaklee a green,non-toxic cleaning company, and I figured I might as well give their laundry detergent a try!
After about a week of using this detergent I discovered that my machine was losing its 'musty' smell and my clothes actually smelled CLEAN!
It is truly amazing to think that what I was using was actually making my machine less efficient. Switching to non-toxic and earth friendly cleaners has made such a difference and I can truly use my front-loader with joy!

Toxic free cleaners
As a stay at home mom I have realized over the last 10 years that something bad was coming into my home! And it was the cleaners that I was using to keep my home as clean and live able as possible. After doing a little research and on the advice of a friend I decided to make a change. I had no idea what was in these cleaners I paid good money for and was horrified to realize that I was paying companies to poison my children and myself EVERY day!
I had been directed to a great green company called Shaklee and ever since I have used nothing but their products and have found that my children are not as sick and we all seem to breath a little easier since I eliminated the toxins I had been using. Not only are they non-toxic and very earth friendly they really do work!
The best part is that my children can help me clean without me hovering over making sure they never actually touched any of the other cleaners, and its funny how they enjoy cleaning up the house with me, not sure how long it will last but...
All in all it was a life saving change and I feel great to know I am protecting my children from the toxins that entered my home via the cleaners I was using in an attempt to make our home a better place to live!
