Better Life's founders Tim Barklage and Kevin Tibbs will be on ABC's Shark Tank Friday Nov 1st at 9 PM EST

St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) October 31, 2013 -- Better Life®, a line of all natural household cleaning products is going for a most unusual swim. On Friday, November 1 at 9 p.m. EST on the ABC Television Network, Better Life’s co-founders, Tim Barklage and Kevin Tibbs, will be facing the "Sharks," all venture capitalists, on Shark Tank with hopes of inspiring one of the show’s savvy investors to propose a deal. The company touts playfully branded products with no warning labels, and that remove environmental footprints, leaving consumers with a clean house and a clean conscience.

We have been working hard for the last five years to help make the world a safer place for kids, pets, and the planet. We can't wait for you to tune in this Friday.

Post this

Better Life started when two new dads, Tim Barklage (Co-Founder/Chief Idealist) and Kevin Tibbs (Co-Founder/Mad Skilled Scientist), were watching their babies crawl on the floor and put their little fingers in their mouths – dust, dirt, cleaning product residue and all. A light bulb went off and they realized there has to be a way to put their brains and talents together to develop a line of safe household cleaning products. They began discussing the dangers of traditional cleaners and the toxic residues those cleaners leave behind. Barklage challenged Tibbs, an innovative formulation chemist, to create a new line of all natural, green, safe cleaning products that are unbeatable in both safety and performance. The result was a line of household products that keep people, pets and the planet safe, while leaving the competition in the dust.

"Better Life was founded with a mission to create household cleaning products that are unmatched in safety and unbeatable in performance," said Barklage. "We develop all of our products in-house, so we can be sure what we are creating is the safest and best
performing, without compromise."

From all-purpose cleaner, to wood cleaner and glass cleaner, to lotions, hand soap and produce wash, Better Life’s products are plant derived and cruelty, fragrance, sulfate and petroleum free. Better Life also keeps it fun with brightly colored packaging and creative, whimsical names, such as I Can See Clearly, WOW!® and TAKE IT FOR GRANITE®.

Better Life has created products with unbeatable performance. what-EVER!® all natural, all-purpose cleaner is safe on any washable non-porous surface. Use it to clean out the fridge, your shower, and anything else that needs a wipe-down. Pair what-EVER!® with Better Life’s Even the Kitchen Sink® natural cleansing scrubber, and you have an unstoppable duo! Together they even remove that "artwork" your kids decided to do on the wall. Alone, the powerful yet gentle scrubber works magic to keep all your surfaces shiny and protected—without scratching.

Their best-selling Simply Floored!® eliminates the bucket, just squirt and mop, making it easy to do quick clean-ups or wall-to-wall mopping. It is safe on all hard surface floors including wood, stone tile, and laminate. Starting in November, Better Life will expand their all natural product line even more, to laundry. Spin-Credible™, all natural laundry detergent will safely and powerfully clean clothes, without harmful chemicals. "Customers contact us letting us know how excited they are to clean now and that our products do what they say – clean safely!" said Barklage. "They feel happy knowing their families are safe from harsh chemicals and their conscience is clean because they are helping the environment."

Better Life products are proven to work better than conventional brands. Since they don’t use dyes, alcohols, synthetic fragrances, sulfates, and other irritants, they are also more people-safe and environmentally friendly than their competitors.

Better Life products are sold nationally at Whole Foods, and at local stores throughout the U.S. All products are also available at various online retailers and at the company’s site, http://www.cleanhappens.com.
