The Shaklee Difference™ Celebrating 50 Years of the Basic-H®

Celebrating 50 Years of the Basic-H® Difference

Forty years ago, in 1970, Shaklee Basic-H® was named the official cleaning product of the very first Earth Day celebration. And now, Shaklee is celebrating not only the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, but also the 50th anniversary of Basic-H, one of the first non-toxic, biodegradable surfactant cleaners in the world.

Basic H2® Organic Cleaning Concentrate—an updated, more concentrated edition of Basic-H, is a nontoxic formula made with plant-derived, biodegradable surfactants from renewable resources like corn and coconuts, no phosphates, and it's 99.95% natural. Its no-rinse, no-residue, streak-free formula cuts through the most stubborn grease and grime, so it’s excellent for cleaning and degreasing all nonporous hard surfaces, like floors, sinks, countertops, walls, appliances, bathrooms, stainless steel and sealed granite and marble. Basic H2 replaces many of the cleaners people use now—window cleaners, all-purpose cleaners, degreasers, floor cleaners, tub and tile cleaners, and more—saving money and space.

It’s economical. Just one 16 oz. bottle of Basic H2 diluted per label directions makes 214 bottles (28 oz.) of ready-to-use all-purpose cleaner. And because you’re not paying for a bottle of mostly water, which is what most ready to use products consist of, instead you get a bottle full of natural cleaning concentrate that you simply dilute as directed to tackle literally a thousand grimy jobs for pennies compared to grocery store brands.  For example, a quarter teaspoon of Basic H2 added to 16 oz. of water makes a bottle of all-purpose cleaner for just 3 cents. And, for less than a single penny, just two drops of Basic H2 added to 16 oz. of water makes a fantastic streak free window cleaner.  In fact, just one bottle of Basic H2 equals the cleaning uses of more than 5,800 bottles of some of the leading ready-to-use household cleaners.

To get the same amount of clean you get with one 16 oz. bottle of Basic H2, you would have to spend:

$480 for the equivalent amount of all-purpose cleaner
$13,500 for the equivalent amount of window cleaner
$128 for the equivalent amount of degreaser
And, it’s environmentally friendly. The packaging is recyclable, and because Basic H2 is highly concentrated, there is less packaging to recycle and fewer resources are required to transport it, which cuts down on greenhouse gas emissions. Through sales of Basic H2, combined with the last year’s sales of all Get Clean® Starter Kits, Shaklee saved 71 million pounds of greenhouse gases and 31 million pounds of packaging waste, compared to the greenhouse gases and packaging waste from the equivalent ready-to-use window cleaner. And, the number of bottles of Basic H2 sold last year alone equates to the same amount of clean in nearly 1.7 million 26-oz. ready-to-use window cleaner bottles—enough to wrap around the earth 11 times.

It’s convenient too! To make it easy to get the most from one bottle of Basic-H2, we also have a three-pack of spray bottles with handy labels so you can make one spray bottle of each dilution strength whenever you need it.  And, for those quick jobs or on the go, Basic H2 Organic Super Cleaning Wipes offer the power of Basic H2 with the convenience of a wipe.  Not only does it have the same green credentials as Basic H2 - the wipe itself is both biodegradable and recyclable.

Now that's some difference! Here are some tools to help you share the Basic-H legacy:
