Key features & specs

How it compares

Branch Basics differs from traditional spray cleaners by utilizing a concentrated formula that users dilute themselves in specific ratios. In contrast to standard ready-to-use synthetic cleaners, this mineral-rich solution avoids phthalates and sulfates. While many natural brands offer pre-mixed solutions, Branch Basics prioritizes the longevity of one concentrate bottle to handle everything from floor mopping to laundry pre-treating.

How to use it

1. Fill your reusable Branch Basics spray bottle with water to the designated water line.
2. Add the specified amount of concentrate to the bottle to achieve the desired strength.
3. Gently swirl the bottle to mix the solution without creating excessive foam.
4. Spray directly onto surfaces like countertops, stone, or stainless steel.
5. Wipe clean with a microfiber cloth or paper towel for a streak-free finish.

Frequently asked questions

Is Branch Basics Concentrated All-Purpose Cleaner worth it?

Yes, the concentrate is worth it because one bottle makes approximately three bottles of all-purpose cleaner plus several specialized bottles. This reduces cost per ounce significantly over time.

Does it work on granite and marble?

Branch Basics is safe for natural stone because it is non-acidic and won't etch the surface finishes. It is highly recommended for sealed granite and marble.

How does this compare to vinegar-based cleaners?

This product is superior to vinegar for grease removal and does not have the pungent lingering odor of acetic acid. It uses alkyl polyglucosides to break down oils more effectively.

Is the formula safe for pets?

The formula is entirely pet-safe as it contains no essential oils or toxic phenols that can harm animals. It can be used freely around pet bedding and food areas.
