The 2nd half of this post is using Basic H as a degreaser. Reed has especially dry skin so we slather him with a thick, greasy lotion twice a day that keeps his skin well hydrated. Sometimes it hasn’t completely dried by the time we head downstairs in the morning. He is really great at using the handrail-but sometimes uses the wall to slide down causing some greasy marks under the railing:

I have found other cleaners would just leave streaks on the walls when attempting to wipe this down. For just regular fingerprints, the Basic H all purpose would probably do the job just fine-for this knowing it’s greasy lotion, I get out the Degreaser formula! 1 1/2 tsp to 16 oz of water. That’s a whole 16 cents for a 16 oz bottle and it can be used for anything that is grease based. What about a greasy stove after cooking or the cabinets above the stove that get splattered or even your grill. This will take care of it all-and you only needed one basic cleaning concentrate, Basic H. You would of already had to buy 2 cleaners, an all-purpose and a degreaser.

Do you like my new Shaklee spray bottle? I just my set of them yesterday-so much cuter than the plain old spray bottle! You get one for each of the Basic H formulas(all-purpose, windows and degreaser) in a set. Plus, there are the formula measurements right on the back of the bottle.
I spray it on and wipe. Then our wall looks like this, until tomorrow…

Don’t you love when you can find a product that does so many things? Try Basic H.
Hope you are having a great day!
