Hello!
I hope that you all had a great week! Are you ready for this weekend? I am having another extremely busy week ahead of me driving back from the west coast…
What are you doing? Anything exciting? Are you busy?
Okay, onto the post…
I have been getting questions about how to use Basic G, Shaklee’s Natural Germicide.
So, today I am writing a post to let everyone know about our safer alternative to Lysol or Bleach and how to use it.
Basic G is the safe and effective alternative to bleach! It is nonflammable, biodegradable and non-toxic. It cleans, disinfects and deodorizes in ONE easy step! It is super-concentrated and one quart will make up to 64 gallons of disinfectant. That will save you lots of money in the long run!
Mix 3/8 teaspoon to 16 oz. spray bottle
Mix 1 tablespoon to 1 gallon of water
Because it is so concentrated, a little goes a long way!!!
Shaklee Basic G is an amazing non-toxic Germicide that I have used for three years now.
I use this 16 oz. bottle that Shaklee carries.
Basic G has a three year shelf life. Its residual effectiveness lasts up to three days after application. Chlorine (bleach) used as a disinfectant is effective no more than one hour. Great wherever disinfectants are used. Kills up to 99% of bacteria.
The many uses of Basic G...
In the bathroom:
Toilets
Garbage pails
Diaper pails
Sinks and faucets
Showers
Pet areas
In the kitchen:
Countertops
Cutting boards (not around food)
Faucet and sink
Refrigerator handles
Floors
After preparing eggs, chicken & meats to kill Salmonella
Trash cans
Door knobs
Use as a weed killer:
1 gallon water
3 tablespoons of Shaklee Basic G
1/2 cup of white vinegar
Makes the best weed killer, while being safe.
For diapers and other problem jobs...
Add 1 teaspoon per load to deodorize and disinfect. Helps eliminate diaper rash!
Safe to use on stainless steel and aluminum.
It is safe to use on hard, non-porous surfaces.
Great for disinfecting throughout your house.
EPA registered.
One quart makes up to 64 gallons!
Basic G kills 32 pathogens while Lysol only kills 8 pathogens.
One question we have heard over the years is about the labeling of the bottle. “If it is non-toxic, why are there warnings on the bottle?”
According to EPA standards, bottles must be labeled according to what is in the bottle. Now, remember that more than 80,000 products are not registered with the EPA or labeled correctly. It is a plus for Shaklee and their reputation for integrity in that it is registered and labeled correctly. So when it comes to the concentrated form of Basic G, if what is in the bottle were to be consumed, it is toxic by EPA standards. However, in its properly diluted form it is non-toxic and not harmful at all.
Shaklee did not put it in the Get Clean line because the advertising of that line is that it is all non-toxic. While Basic G is non-toxic when diluted, it is not in its concentrated form thus they left it out of the line.
