reviewed May 13, 2008 at 10:09 am This would be my favorite green cleaner out there. It does not leave a film after cleaning, it has no scent, it works on everything from ovens to toilets and it is the most economical choice I have ever found. I would not know what to do if I was without this stuff...I even use it for bubble bath!
It's a product you'll have to try so you'll understand what all the talk is about. Once you do, like others, you won't go back to any other cleaner. And face it, it's cheaper than all the other products put together and safer on our enviroment!!! I'm thinking of me future family.
In my opinion, this is the greenest of the green cleaners including homemade concoctions made from baking soda (derived from a mined mineral - trona); hydrogen peroxide (an industrial chemical product), or even vinegar (a commercial chemical product that sometimes comes from petroleum) since the cleaning agents are derived from plans (coconut and corn).
This product is what sold me on Shaklee's Get Clean line of products and converted me to a full blown "green" product user! I have converted many friends as well. Once they try it they are sold.
I had tried several other brands of "green" cleaning products but was never satisfied they were doing a good job. When I found Basic H2 I found my answer! Nothing cleaned my stainless appliances as wonderfully as this (not even the caustic cleaners I used in the past). My floors have never looked so clean - no sticky residue left behind - just clean floors. I use it to wash fruits and vegetables, clean toilets, sinks and tubs. Wash delicate clothes. It's an amazing degreaser!
You can get 3 spray bottles from Shaklee to make up different concentrations: windows and glass, all-purpose and degreaser (you could use your own bottles if you like but their graphics are so great - somehow I think they make cleaning more fun).
I have been using it for 10 months and I'm only half way through my second bottle - that just amazes me! This stuff is so concentrated it lasts and lasts ... very economical and the best clean you can get from a green cleaner (if you ask me).
Whe I bought my bottle of H2 I was told it has 1000 uses. This is no exaggeration. I use it on glass, counters, floors, carpet, everything. I used a little on the shirt my husband wears when he does engine work and got all of the oil out. I've had in since October 2007 and haven't made a dent in the bottle. I threw out or gave away the window, carpet, and general cleaners and degreasers. I won't buy anything else for general cleaning.
Shaklee has a germicide, Basic G, that is just as awesome.
I really like this product. It is expensive to buy initially but it lasts longer than anything I've ever seen so it seems worth it to me.
Basic H, amazing and safe for our home. There are no odors left behind, but only CLEAN! I really feel
good about using this product, knowing I am not exposing my family to toxins on surfaces in our home. It is so concentrated that it lasts forever, can be mixed in various concentration for windows, grease, carpet spotting, washing the dog, the car...so many uses. It takes a bit of education to learn how to
use it...but I try new ways of using it everyday. I highly recommend trying it! Remember to read
directions because it is very different from other cleaners in that it is concentrated and you don't need
to use a lot of it when making solutions. The high concentration of Basic H allows us to save product
packaging, the bottles are also recyclable. Awesome!
I love this general cleaner! It's organic and biodegradable. It's Green Seal Certified.
I first bought this product from a friend of mine more as a favor to her since she was just starting as a Shaklee Independent Distributor. I ended up loving the stuff. I love how it has so many different uses. I clean the floors with it and love that it doesn't have any sticky film that's left like other cleaners. I use it on my furniture. I've used as a spot cleaner on clothes as well as the carpets. I've also used it to wash my fruits and vegetables.
I'm not sure if I just didn't clean enough or what but my one bottle lasted a long time (almost a year)!
The only thing is that it's not meant to be used as a disinfectant - like in the bathrooms. But Shaklee does have another product called Basic G which is their disinfectant/deodorizer/germicide.
