HOUSEHOLD USES

General Cleaning (1 tsp in 1 quart) of warm water for walls, woodwork, ceilings, kitchen appliances, furniture, bathroom, and fixtures. Leaves the refrigerator odor free.

Floors (1-2 Tablespoons in 1 gallon) of cool water. Leaves surfaces shiny.

Kitchen Floors- 1/2 tsp in one quart of warm water to clean without polishing.

Dusting-1/4 tsp. in 1 pint of water. Pour solution onto a sponge and squeeze almost dry or spray on a clean cloth and wipe. Leaves bright, non-magnetic surface, which will not attract dust.

Fruit and Vegetables (including potatoes) (1/4 tsp. in a sink of water) Wash, then rinse thoroughly with filtered water to remove residues of sprays and grime. To crisp lettuce, use 2 or 3 drops in a bowl of water.

Woolens, Nylons and All fine fabrics-1 tsp. in a basin of lukewarm water. For spots apply 1-2 spots directly on the spot and press in with thumb, then immerse item in solution of (1 tsp) Basic H per gallon. Allow to stand a few minutes, then rinse by squeezing water through. Dry flat.

Windows, Mirrors, All Glass-(2-4 drops in 1 pint of water) Glass will smear if more than the recommended amount is used.

Dishes- (1-2 tsp in 1 gallon) of water

Spot Remover-Apply a very small amount directly to the spot and use a soft toothbrush to rub in, then wipe off with a damp cloth or rinse. Removes lipstick, coffee, ink, grass, and grease.

Electric Coffeemaker-1/4 tsp in a pot of water. Run through cycle and rinse.

Aquariums-1 tsp in 1 quart of water for rocks, coral and the entire aquarium and rinse thoroughly.

Pots and Pans-1 Tablespoon in 1 gallon of water. Let stand to loosen stuck on particles.

Knives-Keep your knives sharp by placing a few drops of Basic H on your cutting stone and keeping it moist. Basic H won't clog the stone, and leaves it free of residue when rinsed.

Fish Odors-1 Tablespoon per quart of water

Boat Algae-1 Tablespoon per gallon of water

Wallpaper-2 Tablespoons in a pail of hot water to remove.

PERSONAL USES

Hands-Place a few drops on one palm and rub thoroughly over both hands. Add a little water, continue cleaning, then rinse. Removes tobacco stains, grease, and onion and garlic odors.

Bathing-2 teaspoons in a tub of warm water. Run water full force to make suds. Leaves NO bathtub ring. For babies use only 1 teaspoon. Less alkaline than baby soap.

Gum-Use full strength to remove gum from skin, carpet, or clothes.

Painting and Dyeing-Applying full strength to hands before painting or dyeing, and allow to dry. Paint or dye will wash off easily afterward-this is called the "invisible glove."

Shoes-Two drops on a wet cloth to clean. Shine shoes with a dry cloth.

Eye Glasses-Fill a 4 ounce spray bottle with water and one drop of Basic H.

AUTOMOTIVE USES

Washing-1 Tablespoon in 1 gallon of water. Easily removes insects and road grime. Wash a small area at a time. Hose off. Wipe windshield, windows and chrome after rinsing; the rest of the car dries without spots or streaks.

Battery terminals-1/2 teaspoon in 1 pint of water. Spray on, let soak for 2 minutes, then clean with a wire brush.

Windshield-Add 5-6 drops to 1 quart of water and fill windshield wiper reservoir. Add anti-freeze in the winter.

Engine-1 ounce in 1 gallon of water. Will not affect paint, gaskets, or insulating material. For best results, clean when the engine is hot (Ignition system will dry quickly)

White walls-1 tsp. in 1 quart of water

Changing tires-1/2 tsp. to 16 oz bottle. Spray bottle filled with water. Spray on rims; tires go on easier.

OTHER USES

House plants-Wipe down leaves with a mixture of a few drops of Basic H in a 16 oz spray unit filled with water.

Humidifiers-Add 3-4 drops to prevent rust, scum, and mineral deposits.

Concrete and Mortar Mix-Add 1 ounce to 1 gallon of water used. Makes mixture easier to spread.

Water Soluble Tape Residue-Add 4-6 drops to a 16 oz spray bottle filled with water.

Paint brushes-Work full strength Basic H into brushes and wash under the tap.

Skunk Odor-2 Tablespoons in 1 gallon of water.

Leather-Put 2 drops on a damp sponge, then wipe the item dry. Basic H cleans leather better than saddle soap.

Laboratories-Excellent for cleaning glass slides used under microscopes and blood stained test tubes. Use 2-4 drops of Basic H in 1 pint of water. Glass will smear if more than recommended is used.

Plumbing- Will keep pipes open and clean when used regularly. It emulsifies grease and can eliminate cleaning of grease traps.
