I liked the products ok but you have to buy so much we never used everything before we had to buy more. We never got members under us because things were so expensive no one would join. The laundry detergent was my favorite. The melaleuca oil was also great for bug bites and stuff. It was just too expensive for us so we quit the program.

I have been a customer of Melaleuca for 7 months now -just my son and I. I love every new product I've tried. All non-toxic. My eczema has gone away. Best of all, I am saving money because I don't go shopping as much. Its a wonderful company that does not believe in CEOs and other corporate ideas -the owner really wants the everyday person to make it. Easy to market these products and get more customers because Melaleuca does most of the work for you. If you like to talk to people on the phone you will be successful. IT does take work though. It is not like Amway and is not a get rich quick scheme. Also a wonderful group of Work At Home poeple! IF oyu do not already have a mentor, call me at 505-28606487 or email me ____@____.com for it! TOu eon't regret it! C.

Hello K.,

I LOVE Melaleuca and will be a preferred customer for the rest of time! The products work better than any other brands that I have used from the grocery stores. I feel good about having all the chemicals out of my house, especially once I began to understand just how dangerous many of the chemicals are to our health. I love that I no longer stand in the "chemical" isle in the store trying to decide what product I am going to try next. I LOVE this business as well. My husband and I attended our first convention this August and became even more convinced that this is a safe company to be involved with, that they really do have their customers' health and financial wellness at heart and that this will be our vehicle for a comfortable retirement. Also, my Team is awesome. Our Team leader has a very successful Melaleuca business and mentors us all with awesome, eye opening training every week. I love the fun, excitement and the chance to help other people work from home and make their homes healthy, not to mention helping our environment! I would love to talk to you about this company and our team.

Melaleuca's products are great. They are designed to be of better value, more economical than name brands sold at grocery stores; products safer for your home and your family.
I've been a customer for 8 years. You can read my experience with the products at www.greenkidzrus.com, under the about us tab. You can also read reviews from others who have used the products. Although I don't sell products and you won't either. That's not what Melaleuca is all about. Melaleuca is simply a buying club like Costco except their products are manufactured without the toxic chemicals. No child proof caps required because the products are already safe. I work with other mom's helping them earn additional income for their families by referring other moms to a better place to shop. Don't worry, the prices are so reasonable that when you show someone they can't help but be interested in trying the products too. Don't forget, all new customers get $100 in Free products when you open your membership. I absolutely love helping other moms win.

I used a few of their products years ago and it was all very good. But you can find tea tree oil products at health food stores w/o the hassle of siging up for a MLM deal. Generally MLM products are over hyped and over priced IMO. But their products are good.

Hello K.,
We do use the products in our home (we have a 6mo daughter!). They work very well and seem to be as envrionmental as claimed. We chose not to become preferred members due to the monthly amount that is needed to fulfill your obligation. However, if you choose to use the ENTIRE product line (eg vitamins, body care, etc) the monthly quota is NOT an issue at all! We have a great contact who is VERY successful in the recruiting and selling of Melaleuca so if you have any questions, feel free to contact me at ____@____.com

I was involved with Melaleuca almost a year ago, it is great for families, having at the time just my husband and I we couldn't keep up with the amount of products that was required each month. Since you have a older son who can enjoy the kids products you might be okay. My theory is try it for a while and see what you think. I loved all of their products. It was simple to cancel, just writing a letter and I never had issues afterwards. Once my son gets older we are thinking of going back.

LOVE the lotions, tea tree oil (great for cold sores and all sorts of skin apps), and vitamins. Not so hot about everything else...but some people swear by them. Not a good plan to make money...unless you plan on devoting your life to it - like most MLM's it was only a money maker really for the first few who got in.

I still have a stockpile of items from when we were members...over 4 years ago. You have to buy a lot each month to keep your membership...and if you don't place your order they will send you a package that they choose...no choice.

Have you tried finding a friend that is already a member but who you could order under? That way you won't be stuck buying stuff you don't need...unless you enjoy having a pantry full of stuff!

I can't afford to use the stuff but a few months ago I had no choice to use a product and here is my testimonial:

I had a very bad infection on my finger it was to the point I was thinking of just going to the dr to get it cut off (I was being a drama queen saying that but it was bad enough to think that) the finger hurt so bad that I could not even touch my hand. a friend that has been selling Melaleuca for years told me to use the Melaleuca oil and I did and within an hour it felt almost better and by the next morning my finger was well on his way to healing.

Hi K.,

Melaleuca is the best way to go if you want to have the best products in your home for your family and for the environment. When people say they can't afford the 35 point commitment it's because they aren't converting their homes. When you convert your home (you're gonna buy the products somewhere anyway) you save loads of money and you are getting quality products. I've been a customer for a year and my home is converted. I shop for a family of 5 and we spend no less than 100pts a month. If Melaleuca sells it and we use it, we buy it. It's all about switching stores, not spending extra money. If you have a good enroller then they should help you switch stores and get the most for your points. Everything with Melaleuca is guaranteed, including the $29 membership. You can try their products and the membership and if you aren't happy you can get a refund! You aren't stuck in the membership. You can cancel anytime.

I'm also a marketing executive. We don't recruit anyone and we don't sell anything. All we do is share Melaleuca with people and help them to save money while getting the best products in their homes. I work with a team that helps other moms earn a great income from home. We don't do parties or demonstrations or carry inventory. All we do is share Melaleuca and open up customer accounts, using the internet or the phone. I resigned from working in our local school district and quickly able to replace my income while prioritizing my family. This has been the best decision I have every made.

I encourage you to just try Melaleuca. If you don't like the products, or the business, get your money back! You won't be disappointed!

K., I love Melaleuca products. There are very few that we are unhappy with. My daughter uses Florify for her stomache problems. The Probiotics in this product also help build your inmune system.
Sharing the Melaleuca with others is like sharing a favoite movie with someone. Or sharing sales at your favorite store. Good luck, and enjoy.
Hugs,

I am in Melaleuca and believe you cannot go wrong. I was taking allergy shots for over 30 years and when I got the toxins out of the house by using Melaleuca products I no longer need the shots--just one great testimonial.

I am building and am looking for some motivated people to join me. If you have 15 to 20 hours a week you can quickly make some fairly good income.

I tried it a couple of years ago. I didn't make any money off if it, but I wasn't really trying to. The products were great. I loved everything I tried. The only problem I had, and ultimately why I quit, was that the products lasted a lot longer than I thought they would. I didn't need to purchase the required amount of stuff each month and found out really quickly that I had to pay the money whether or not I bought the stuff. It just didn't end up being cost effective. As a side note, I still have a bottle of linen freshener that I use from time to time and love it, and this is nearly five years later.

I used Melaleuca for a little over a year. I really loved the products (although after switching to their toothpaste my husband and I both got our first cavitites since high school not sure if it is a coincidence). The cleaning stuff is awesome. The only problem is the 35 point minimum. The products last forever so I never needed enough to meet the minimum. I finally had to quit because I had a surplus of everything.

My parents went through their "Melaleuca phase" when I was a teenager. I can't say much about the money end of it- I don't think they really made any money off of it, but the products are good. I'm sure things have changed a lot in 15 years, but it's a good product. There is a laundry spot remover that I swear by. It got red dye out of a white shirt and jeans! It is truly amazing. Like I said, I don't know about the distribution end, but the product are good. Good luck with whatever you decide.
