Have Not Found Better
PUREShop 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!

I actually purchased this product about a year ago. My boss showed me what the product could do and I just had to have it.  I became a Distributor of Shaklee shortly after and told my friends about the cleaner and this is my best selling product.   Just convince a friend of mine too use it last week.  She called me to let me know that her husband was going to shoot me because she had spent the last 2 days cleaning every room in the house, from top to bottom, and he didn't get to go play Bingo....lol.
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.

Truly Green and Economical Multipurpose Cleaner
DocRox55 reviewed August 5, 2009 at 12:10 pm
I have used Shaklee products for years including the original Basic H which we thought was great but the new formulation of H2 is even better!  It can be used to make different strength cleaning solutions (window, general purpose, degreaser, etc.) and last literally for months.  One 16 Oz. bottle of H2 concentrate makes scores of each if the different cleaning strengths making it extremely economical and it saves on shipping, packaging and waste disposal as well. 

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).

Nothing Better!
LiveBetter reviewed July 11, 2008 at 8:59 am

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).

Love this stuff and use it all over my home
sherriet reviewed July 18, 2008 at 8:30 am

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.

Shaklee basic cleaning

 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.

Green Safe and Powerful

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!

Love this!

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.
