Vinegar Vs. Basic H

What I am going to share is from a Facebook group of amazing Shaklee users and distributors. My mom used vinegar growing up but has switched to Basic H. I used it in my home but not often because I disliked the smell. Basic H has no smell, which I personally like because I had always been sensitive to cleaners scents.

I talk to a lot of people who tell me they use vinegar and/or baking soda. So if you use Vinegar take a minute to read this.

Even if you thought you were saving money and helping the environment
using the old stand-by of vinegar and baking soda you might be interested in
learning that even these formulas from the past end up costing more and are
actually creating more packaging waste. Not fitting in with today's picture
of being environmental.

Get Clean Basic H2 vs. Vinegar and/or Baking Soda

Usage Per Gallon for a General Cleaner
Vinegar - 1/2 cup
Basic H2 - 2 teaspoons

Distilled Vinegar (1/2 cup per gallon of water for general cleaning)
Cost per bottle = 16 oz / .89 cents (Acme brand 10/09)
Usage Cost: to make 1 gallon general cleaner = .22 cents
Usage Cost: to make 48 gallons general cleaner = $10.68
Packaging Waste: 12 Bottles to make 48 gallons of general cleaner

note: if you need to add baking soda, dish soap, or oil to the formula for
persistant stains or cleaning that's an additional expense and additional
packaging waste.

Shaklee Basic H2 (2 teaspoons per gallon of water for ALL-PURPOSE Cleaner)
Over 1000 different uses with this one bottle!

Cost per bottle = 16 oz / $10.35 (10/09)
Usage Cost: to make 1 gallon All-Purpose Cleaner = .22 cents
Usage Cost: to make 48 gallons All-Purpose Cleaner = $10.68
ONE Bottle makes 48 Gallons of All-Purpose Cleaner!
(One bottle of Basic H2 equals the cleaning uses of 5,824 bottles of 26 oz.
Windex)


For every ONE Bottle of Basic H2 used for All-Purpose Cleaning you would
use 12 bottles of vinegar plus, if needed, baking soda to do the same amount
of clean. Plus, Basic H2 has the smell of "clean" and is pH balanced with
our skin. No need to wear gloves or a mask.


*My Basic H bottle lasted me two and a half years! I use it all the time too. I know that if I was using vinegar or traditional cleaners from the store I would have spent more than what I paid for the bottle over the same time period!
