Keeping my house clean is no easy task. It always seems as though as soon as I clean something it immediately becomes dirty again. With six people in our house dirt, dust, and crumbs appear everywhere. It is a constant battle.
The multitude of cleaning products available is staggering. The options are literally limitless. But all too often after using a cleaning product I find am not satisfied. Yes, my area might be clean, but the fumes are staggering. Not too long ago I scrubbed my bathroom. It was in desperate need of a good cleaning, but the fumes from the bleach cleaners I used left me feeling slightly woozy. Obviously these products are toxic and are not good for the human body.
I have often considered switching to “green” cleaners. Products that are safe for the environment and my family sound appealing, but I was skeptical that they could clean well also. It was time to put a “green” cleaner to the test. Shaklee makes a Basic H2 cleaner that is capable of cleaning almost anything. This concentrated liquid can be mixed in different doses to fit each particular need in your home. This is the basic kit I received.
This kit includes three different spray bottles (windows, degreaser, basic cleaner) the concentrated bottle of Basic H2, and a small squirt bottle.
Instead of purchasing a multitude of products and bottles only to throw them away, these bottles can be reused again and again. Simply squirt the correct amount of the concentration Basic H2 cleaner (the dose in clearly labeled on the bottle) with water in each particular bottle and they are ready for use. When it runs out, simply repeat the process. The 16oz bottle of concentrate is designed to last an average family a long time.
I love the idea of a concentrated cleaner that dramatically cuts the need to purchase more and more products. But really I wanted to know how it would clean. Would it work?
I decided to tackle an area I had been neglecting for some time. I have a kitchen cupboard that has been stuffed silly and contains a number of sticky messes.
This is my counter top with all the items I had stuffed in that one cupboard! Yikes!
After a few squirts of the general cleaner my cupboards were clean and ready for some good organization.
Next I decided to tackle my kitchen door. With three children and having recently hosted a party with many more children in attendance my window was looking fairly slimy.
After a few squirts with the Window Cleaner and it looked like this.
It’s official the cleaner works. And another thing that really impressed me was that it had no smell. It made me wonder, what is in this stuff? The company markets the Basic-H2 as non-polluting, non-toxic, non-irritating, non-magnetic, and non-volatile. It is also 100% organic, biodegradable, not a soap, and not a detergent. What is it?
I don’t know. Obviously their concentrate is a company secret. My curiosity is definitely peaked. Meanwhile I will continue to use it all around the house. This simple Basic H2 can be used for all the following- appliances and bathroom fixtures, windows, mirros, all glass, automatic dishwashers, floors, dusting, fruits and vegetables, woolens, silks, nylons, all fin fabrics, spot remover, frying vats, concrete and mortar mix, knives, phonograph records, wallpaper, aquariums, diapers, fish odors, boat algae, and poster paint on windows.
Here is the skivvy from the company-
Basic H2® is all you need for thousands of household jobs
- Ultraconcentrated – 16 ounces makes up to 48 gallons of super powerful cleaner when mixed with water.
- Versatile and powerful cleaner – removes dirt, grease, and grime from any washable surface, inside and out. Dilute according to directions.
- No rinse, no residue, streak-free formula.

What do Fast Foods Do To Our Bodies?
We have busy lifestyles and often choose convenience food over healthy food.
Our foods are fast, however our metabolisms are slow.
Our drinks include too much sugar or carbonation.
Our arteries are too hard.
Our nerves are fried – like the fried junk food we feed our bodies.

Thanks to everyone for learning more about Basic H and the #1 Natural Nutrition Company in the United States. There is a list of 30 different cleaning uses for Basic H2 on the link below. One of my favorites is to use it to clean fruits and vegetables. As powerful a cleaner as Basic H is, it is made from fruits and vegetables and is very safe to clean yours. If you look in the grocery store at the supermarket there are 8oz bottles of fruit and vegetable cleaning spray for about $4.00 per bottle. You can make your own with Basic H for a few cents. It really does help get the dirt and the other residue off of our food and I know it makes me feel better knowing I am only eating the good stuff!
Thanks again
