Beloved Branch Basics Use Cases

Branch Basics has become a beloved household staple for many environmentally friendly, toxin-conscious, natural-minded families for well over a decade.

Our products, including the Concentrate, Oxygen Boost, Laundry Detergent, and Dishwasher Tablets, were formulated to promote a healthier, synthetic chemical-free, and sustainable lifestyle that customers all over the country have embraced.

In this section, you’ll see how real families use Branch Basics around their homes to clean up everyday messes and deeper, more in-depth cleans, showcasing how versatile and effective our products truly are.

Branch Basics In The Kitchen 

Cleaning the kitchen can be quite the task, especially when you’re scrubbing away grease, food residue, and bacteria. But Branch Basics makes it easy, safe, and efficient.

Use Branch Basics All Purpose to clean the exterior and interior of your fridge. For stuck-on food, add some Oxygen Boost for a gentle abrasive.

You can also use Branch Basics to clean your kitchen cabinets and countertops. For our customer, Charles G., it’s his favorite way to clean up kitchen messes:

“I LOVE these products! I had been wanting to try them for so long, and I am so glad I did. My favorite is using it for my countertop. It does not leave any wiping marks, and it does such a great job on my glass stovetop. I recommend it to anyone who wants a clean house and use clean ingredients. I wish I had tried it sooner!” - Charles G.

Other uses around the kitchen include cleaning your garbage disposal, the stove top, exhaust hood and filters, cutting boards, pots and pans, and so much more!

A perk of cleaning with Branch Basics in the kitchen is it’s safe to use around food. Our customer, Giorgiana G., agrees:

“I don’t have to feel guilty about wiping the kitchen counters with the fear of getting toxic chemicals on my food. I also absolutely love the dishwasher detergent – it works better than most detergents I’ve used.” - Giorgiana G.

Branch Basics In The Bathroom 

Cleaning the bathroom is no one’s favorite task, but it’s necessary.

Between soap scum, germs, mold, and mildew, tackling this room can be time-consuming and, well, kinda gross. But it doesn’t have to be!

Did you know you can clean the entire bathroom without using toxic chemicals and harmful fragrances? That’s a favorite perk of using Branch Basics for our customer, Corissa V.:

“I am loving these products. Mostly, I’ve been using the bathroom cleaner and laundry detergent. The bathroom cleaner specifically is the star. I can clean the bathroom, and it doesn’t smell like a car freshener when I’m done!” - Corissa V.

In the bathroom, you can use Branch Basics to clean countertops, sinks, mirrors, bathtubs and showers, toilets, grout and tile, mold and mildew, soap scum, drains, hard water deposits, shower glass and doors, and floors.

Check out Kimberly B.’s experience using Branch Basics in the bathroom:

“I was skeptical when I ordered the sample for the general-purpose cleaner. I was surprised at how much I liked it. I then purchased the starter kit, and my new favorite is the bathroom cleaner. It cleans my tiled shower and glass doors better than any other cleaner. I love that it is fragrance-free!” - Kimberly B.

In Nurseries And Playrooms

Babies and young children spend most of their time rolling around and playing on the floor. And when they’re teething, toys and anything they can get their hands on inevitably end up in their mouth.

This makes cleaning with synthetic-chemical-free, baby-safe products, like Branch Basics, incredibly important for keeping your little ones happy, healthy, and safe.

But don’t just take our word for it! Branch Basics customer, Jessica H., shares her experience using our products around and with her young children in the home:

“I’m pregnant with my third baby, and I have the nesting bug strong. However, I also have little hands wanting to help mama. I feel so comforted that my little ones can happily clean alongside me, and I don’t have to worry about them using it. I also have comfort that it’s safe to use while being pregnant.

I will also say that this has surpassed my expectations as a cleaning product. It cleans so well, leaving my surfaces feeling so clean. All the stuck-on food just seems to melt off. In the bathroom, my urine-stained walls and baseboards from potty training my son just wiped right off. I couldn’t even get that result with bleach! It has impressed me as a laundry soap, too! I also want to say that the customer service has been amazing too! Please continue to make amazing products because I am here for them!!” - Jessica H.

Kristin C. also has great things to say about using Branch Basics around her on-the-go baby:

“So grateful for a clean option that we can trust. My baby is all over the place, so I’m glad we don’t worry about toxic chemicals getting on her toys!” - Kristin C.

Cleaning Up After Pets

Our furry friends spend most of their time lounging and lying on the floors, so it’s important that you clean with a pet-safe floor cleaner to keep them healthy and safe.

Nicole L., a Branch Basics customer and pet parent, shared the following:

“As a pet owner, I struggled with finding products that wouldn’t be harmful to my loved furry ones. I was originally looking for an all-purpose and floor cleaner, but when I saw this product also came with a laundry detergent, I was sold. My skin feels so much clearer after using a non-toxic detergent to clean my pillowcases! I will now be a forever customer, thank you, Branch Basics!” - Nicole L.

In Our Guide To Pet-Safe Cleaning Products, we discuss in depth how important it is to clean your home with products safe for pets.

For truly pet-safe cleaning, avoid ingredients such as ammonia, formaldehyde, isopropyl alcohol, chlorine bleach, fragrance, phenol, essential oils, and glycol ethers.

Branch Basics Concentrate is a safe option for floors, washing pet bedding, cleaning up after an accident, and bathing your pets!

How Branch Basics Works

Using only human-safe, plant- and mineral-based, fragrance-free ingredients, we’ve created a gentle Concentrate that works hard to remove dirt, grease, and grime without any harmful chemicals or preservatives.

Our plant- and mineral-based formula includes ingredients such as decyl glucoside, organic chamomile, coco-glucoside, sodium citrate, sodium bicarbonate, and sodium phytate.

Learn more on our How It Works page. 

Here’s how Branch Basics works:

1. Fill With Water: Pick a refillable bottle and fill to the “water” line on the label.
   
2. Add Concentrate: Fill with Concentrate to the “soap” line on the label.
   
3. Start Cleaning: Top off with water, and you’re ready to clean!

It’s really that simple!

Just one bottle of Branch Basics Concentrate replaces dozens of toxic cleaners in your home. All of our bottles are refillable, so they’re better for the environment, and they save you money!

Just one bottle of Concentrate makes:

• 3 All Purpose Bottles ($3.09 each)
  
• 3 Bathroom Bottles ($6.18 each)
  
• 3 Streak Free Bottles ($0.49 each)
  
• 3 Foaming Wash Bottles ($3.09 each)
  
• 64 Laundry Loads ($0.26 per load) 

Combine the Concentrate with Oxygen Boost for a powerful cleaning duo. Our Oxygen Boost enhances the Concentrate's power to remove stains, break down grease, and clean stained surfaces.
