If you still haven’t found a good natural replacement for all of those toxic household cleaners – and one that actually works – then this is for you. I’ll never forget when a friend once said to me, “Most people think of harsh chemical cleaners as smelling clean, but I only think of them as smelling like cancer.” She was obviously being very dramatic, but not long after that conversation I decided to clean out everything that was under my kitchen sink. And man, she was right, I owned a plethora of conventional very smelly cleaners. My collection included everything from toilet bowl solution to glass cleaner to bleach…all products that could inflict harm just from their fumes alone, and can you imagine if some was accidentally ingested? (Heathers anyone?) So, right then and there I decided I was done and honestly gave everything to the very same neighbor who willingly accepted all my processed food not too many months before – no hard feelings attached! What can I say, she wanted it and I hated to waste anything.
Then I went through a period of staring at all the different “natural” cleaners for sale at Target. Who doesn’t love the selection at Target? BUT I was at a loss because I could not decipher this stuff like I can food. Even if I tried to read the ingredient labels none of the long names made any sense to me. So here I was trying bottle after bottle (at $4 or $5 a pop I might add) thinking I don’t even know if this stuff is really any better than what I just tossed.
So that’s why I am thrilled to share with you today a natural, non-toxic cleaner from one of our affiliate partners that IS better. Branch Basics is what our family has been using for about a year now and not only is it better, but it has many uses as a household cleaner (carpet cleaning and stain removal included) as well as a personal care product for everything from burns to cold sores to insect repellent to make-up remover to head lice. What?!? I hope I never have to test that claim out, but it’s hard to imagine something safe enough for all these things can also safely and effectively clean your home. In summary, this one formula basically cleans just about anything washable (even your dog!), which is pretty amazing.
These are the ingredients in Branch Basics Concentrate:
Purified water, fatty acids, coconut oil, organic alcohol, folic acid, minerals and enzymes derived from edible and seed-bearing plants.
And not that it’s at all recommended, but you could literally drink some of this stuff and be just fine! These are the reasons why I am super excited to offer you a very special deal on Branch Basics solution today. No more guesswork when it comes to trying to select the cleaning products that are best for your family.
Special Deal:
Branch Basics Non-Toxic All-Purpose Cleaner
The average cost of “green” cleaners – many of which still contain harmful chemicals – is $6.18 and their uses are very limited. The 32 oz bottle of concentrate will yield about 6 bottles of cleaner at $4.59 each, whereas the gallon size makes 24 bottles at about $3.59 each. And that’s before your 10% discount, and you can use it for virtually every cleaning need, both home and body.
Note: The special 40% off sale ended at midnight (EST) on Monday, March 4 BUT we’ve worked out a deal so you can still save 10% off on your first order with coupon code 100DRF10.
Here’s What Branch Basics Has to Say About Their Product:
This All-Purpose Cleaner is…
- Non-toxic, Biodegradable, Hypo-allergenic
- Human-safe (causes no harm if accidentally ingested)
- Kills bacteria (E. Coli, Staph, Salmonella, etc.)
- Kills viruses, mold and parasites
- Effectively removes stains and odors
- Heals cuts, burns, sunburns, rashes, acne, etc.
- Replaces virtually all conventional cleaners
- Not tested on animals
Branch Basics is a powerful, organic solvent made from the fatty acids of edible and seed-bearing plants. From household use and personal hygiene to commercial and industrial applications, again, this one formula can clean just about anything washable. Its powerful enzymatic action makes it tough enough to dissolve hard engine grease, while its 100% non-toxic ingredients are safe enough to bathe a baby. We are continually blown away by its range of uses and encourage people to “never put it in a box!”

I am very interested in purchasing your cleaner. And also would like to know about using this on my travertine floors and limestone countertops. I saw above that it is OK to use on granite but how about other types of stone countertops/flooring? Thank you for your response!
Do you know when Branch Basics will have another special? I just missed the special by one day and I want to try it before I commit.
Please tell me this deal has not ended!!!! I can’t get the sale page to come up. I was going to order yesterday, but decided to ask two friends who are interested in natural-living if they would like to order, too. Then today when I go to order our products, the sale page was gone.
If it is really over, when will another sale be? I *really* want to try this, but I can’t afford the “non-sale” prices right now. Please, please, please bring back a sale soon!!!! Thank you!!
I have family living in Bangladesh. I know you don’t ship there, but each year someone visits them who could take along what they need. They have to sanitize (use iodine) and rinse with purified water ALL the fresh fruits and vegetables before consuming them since they are often watered with contaminated water. Would Branch Basics kill the parasites and harmful bacteria if these foods were soaked/washed in BB water?
Shoot! I missed the sale too….I had the gallon size in my cart yesterday then something came up and when I came back today to finish the sale was gone! I was so excited to try this, but I can’t bring myself to pay (almost) full price when I JUST missed a great deal. Please offer another sale.
Hi Lisa & Jason,
A few days ago, I left a comment regarding my opinion of sponsored products. I was surprised and pleased to see a response from Jason so quickly. I did not fully appreciate the amount of work, time, and dedication you all put in to this website. First, I want to apologize for my comments. In addition, I want to wish you the best of luck. I love your site, and while I may not love commercials, they are a necessary evil
. Best of luck with everything and to your adorable daughters.

Is Branch basics sold in Southern California?
Hi! I have been using Branch Basics for about 6 months and love it, but I can’t use it on my wood floors or furniture. We have a wood kitchen table as well and I’m just not sure what to clean it with that will be safe but also disinfect. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Tiffany
I use vinegar and water on my wood floors and to clean our dinner table after meals. I also use it on my quarts counter tops and to clean stainless steel. It is naturally antimicrobial and works great as a degreaser and prevents streaking on my wood floors. I mix about 1 part vinegar and 3 parts water. I just mix it in a spray bottle then spray all over my wood floors, then go over it with my steam mop and my floors look great, clean with no streaks.
I’m very interested in trying this product! And I’m happy for your company that you’re doing well…but it looks like ALL sizes of your products are backordered. Do you have any idea when it might be available again?
Hi Ashley. Thank you! We should hopefully be back to normal with inventory on hand by the end of next week.
I see that you can use this as a laundry detergent – long term is it no harsher on the wear and tear of clothes than commercial detergents? Thanks!
and one more question:
Can I still use vinegar as a rinse aid in the rinse aid dispenser in my dishwasher if I use Branch Basics in the detergent dispenser?
Hi Joanie, sorry for the delayed reply. Yes, you can certainly can.
I know you have probably posted about this before, but I was wondering what you do to keep perishables from going bad when you send school lunches, like meats or produce? How do you keep it at a safe temperature?
Hi Alyssa. The ice packs that Lisa uses are here: http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2012/08/24/my-favorite-school-lunch-supplies/. ~Amy
Sorry if you have answered this already but have you looked at the products sell by the Honest Company? It is hard to know with cleaners what’s good or not to use. Thanks!
How does BB compare to Castille Soap? Thanks!
