Wow, did you know there were so many uses for Shaklee Basic H2 cleaner?
Basic H2 is my favorite product from Shaklee's Get Clean line of products. I use it in every room of the house. I love how it easily cleans up the most difficult jobs.
Shaklee’s Basic H2 cleaner is safe {for you, your kids, and your pets}, it's good for the environment, and very economical since you only need to mix a tiny bit of the concentrate to water.
You won't believe all the different uses on this list. Keep this list handy for all your household needs.
But first, how should Basic H2 generally be used?
The genius of Basic H2 is that it makes water, the “universal solvent”…when mixed with water, Basic H2 penetrates dirt and grime and then rinses away easily and does not leave a toxic residue.
