Branch Basics Concentrate

Multi-purpose concentrated cleaner diluted for all household surfaces

Materials

  • Plant and mineral-derived surfactants
  • Purified water

Common claims

  • Non-toxic

Concerns / watch-outs

  • Concentrated formula requires proper dilution ratios; undiluted use on sensitive surfaces is too strong

Cleaner alternatives

Chemical-free surface cleaning using only water

Materials

  • High-density microfiber (polyester-polyamide)

Common claims

  • Removes 99% of bacteria with just water
  • No chemicals needed
  • Machine washable 300+ times

Concerns / watch-outs
