Branch Basics Fragrance-Free Concentrate Cleaner - 8oz

A: Hi there, yes! Hi! For cleaning dishes, there are a few options. If you want to soak the dishes you can spray about 10 sprays of the All-Purpose solution or add 1 tsp Concentrate into the sink or mixing bowl. Add hot water, agitate to create suds, soak dishes in solution and then wash. Some people prefer to spray directly onto each dish, leave the room while the product breaks down dirt and grime, then return to simply rinse and wipe dishes clean with a scrub brush or sponge. If you have an empty foaming wash bottle you can use 1 part Concentrate to 4 parts water to make a foaming wash for your hands!

A: Hi there! Yes, Branch Basics is safe to use around your pets. The Branch Basics All-Purpose makes a great shampoo for dogs and cats!

A: Great question. This is not an ideal use, but we do have dish tabs available through our site. We hope you'll give them a try!

A: Whether it’s sweat stains, red wine stains, grass stains, chocolate, or grease, Branch Basics has got you covered! Here's what you'll do: If this is a fresh stain, blot up as much of the oil stain as possible with a cloth or paper towel. Gently rub Branch Basics Concentrate directly into the oil stain with your fingers and let it sit for 5 minutes. We recommend the direct application of Concentrate only to oil stains. (The Stain Remover spray may be sufficient for minor oil stains, but generally, the Concentrate works best). Run cold water through the stain. Repeat, if necessary. Several applications with Concentrate and cold water are generally sufficient to remove oil stains on many types of fabrics. Hand wash with 1 tsp of Concentrate, or your favorite laundry detergent, once the stain is removed. Hang Dry. Note: Do not place the garment in the dryer until the stain is removed. The dryer will set the stain and make it more difficult to remove.

A: Hi! Yes it can be used for both! For cleaning dishes, there are a few options. If you want to soak the dishes you can spray about 10 sprays of the All-Purpose solution (1 part concentrate to 11 parts water) or add 1 tsp Concentrate into the sink or mixing bowl. Add hot water, agitate to create suds, soak dishes in solution and then wash. Some people prefer to spray directly onto each dish, leave the room while the product breaks down dirt and grime, then return to simply rinse and wipe dishes clean with a scrub brush or sponge. For laundry, here is the dilution ratio: 1 part Branch Basics Concentrate to 2 parts water. For laundry, you'll use about 1 Tbls of the solution for a regular sized lightly soiled load. You'll need a little more for larger loads or heavily soiled loads of laundry. You can think of "parts" as any form of measurement you'd like. I usually think of it in ounces, so if you had a 24 ounce bottle and wanted to create the all-purpose solution, you'd use 2 ounces of concentrate and 22 ounces of water. Our system isn't very fussy, so you don't have to worry about being exact.

A: Hi! Yes. Branch Basics can be used on hardwood flooring or on wood furniture. Only very diluted solutions of Branch Basics should be used on sealed wood because a more concentrated solution could break down the finish. Always test it in an inconspicuous area before cleaning entire floor, and minimize use of the solution on wood floor by spraying the solution onto a slightly damp mop to clean the floor. The breakdown for use on wood floors would be: 1 - 2 teaspoons Concentrate per gallon of water (16 cups) ½ - 1 teaspoon Concentrate per ½ gallon of water (8 cups) ¼ - ½ teaspoon Concentrate per ¼ gallon of water (4 cups) ⅛ - ¼ teaspoon Concentrate per ⅛ gallon of water (2 cups)

A: Yes, it should work great! It's always a good idea to test in an inconspicuous place first.

A: Hi there. The ingredients are the same, except that the Sodium Phytate has been removed from the Target formula and replaced with Sodium Gluconate. This is an environmental improvement that will go into effect with all of our formulas soon!

A: Hi there! The Concentrate ingredients are not derived from wheat but the products have not been tested formally to be certified gluten free. We are also Made Safe Certified, EWG Verified, and Leaping Bunny Certified.

A: Hi there. Thank you for your question. Yes, it is the same! The cost of doing business varies across different sales channels. Thus, the offering and pricing is different at Target vs. our other channels. We are excited to give our customers multiple product options and ways to shop.
