Let’s Break Down The Costs Of Branch Basics Premium Starter Kit & Ultimate Starter Kit
If you’re new to Branch Basics, we generally recommend starting with either The Premium Starter Kit or The Ultimate Starter Kit.
Both come with everything you need to replace every harsh chemical cleaner, laundry product, and stain remover in your home.
How Do Branch Basics Starter Kits Work?
Branch Basics is designed to be an all-in-one cleaning and laundry system with Branch Basics Concentrate at the core.
The Premium Starter Kit comes with a 33.8 fluid-ounce bottle of The Concentrate, plus refillable glass or plastic bottles to make All-Purpose, Bathroom, Streak-Free, Foaming Wash, and Laundry, plus a 2-pound bag of Oxygen Boost, a laundry booster, stain remover, and bleach alternative.
Concentrate and Oxygen Boost make up our flagship kit, two effective products that can replace every laundry and cleaning product in the home.
The Concentrate was developed and designed specifically to be mild and gentle enough to remove eye makeup and serve as a body and shampoo wash for babies and those with the most sensitive skin.
The Ultimate Starter Kit also comes with a 33.8 fluid ounce bottle of The Concentrate, plus refillable glass or plastic bottles to make All-Purpose, Bathroom, Streak-Free, and Foaming Wash, plus a 2-pound bag of Oxygen Boost, a 4-pound bag of Laundry Detergent (water-free formula), and a 40-pack of Dishwasher Tablets.
Those numbers look big, especially compared to buying a single bottle of All-Purpose cleaner or laundry detergent from another brand, until you break it down by bottle (the cost comparison is crazy!).
How Does This Break Down Per Bottle?
As a Concentrate-based cleaning line, our biggest challenge is helping people see the cost- and health-savings of using Branch Basics, and the best way to do this is to break it down by cost per bottle.
