Eliminating multiple bottles of nasty cleansers from under the sink, Shaklee's line of cleaning products uses natural, non-toxic and often organic ingredients to rid your home of bacteria and dirt as well as toxins.
Founded on the principals of its founder, the late Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee Sr. (1894-1985) with Iowa farm boy roots, today his legacy is a multi-million dollar operation that for us is a great resource for environmentally-friendly products designed to maintain hygiene in the healthiest conceivable way.
A prime example, the basic cleanser is an organic concentrate cleaner for anything from insect innards to spilled borscht. By varying the amount of water used with the concentrate, the one cleaner works for multiple surfaces. We think these products jive nicely with the Lotus' non-toxic sanitizing system featured last month.
There's a lot to explore on the site including laundry products, kitchen accessories and plenty more.

Nordaq Fresh is a new Swedish water filtration system that may change the way restaurants think about drinking water. We hit Napa this weekend and one of the many pleasures was an afternoon at The French Laundry (thanks for the hook up, José).
