          Comments about MrsMeyers Basil All Purpose Cleaner:

          Used to like this scent when it first came out and then suddenly started making me nauseous. Don't know why. My oldest daughter likes it, so gave her my almost new bottle of Basil All Purpose Cleaner so she could use it in her apartment. She, too likes Mrs. Meyer's products, thanks to my introducing her to them.

          Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

            Comments about MrsMeyers Basil All Purpose Cleaner:

            I had used the other products and tried many different scents - they were good but didn't knock my socks off. Then I mopped the kitchen floor with the All Purpose Cleaner in Basil scent. It was amazing and I could still smell the beautiful scent for a couple of days! Now, I am buying all the products in Basil scent.

            Just wish I could find in stores and didn't have to pay for shipping.

            Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

                I ran out of the Basil and have had a difficult time in finding it. But will not give up and use another. Mrs. Myers by far the best cleaning products with such a refreshing, clean smell.

                Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

                Dilute ¼ cup of this concentrated cleaner with 1 gallon warm water. Then you're ready to tackle dirty floors, cupboards, countertops, sealed stone & granite.



                COMMON QUESTIONS



                Q. Can I use your All Purpose Cleaner on my hardwood floors?


                A. Our All Purpose Cleaner is safe for use on hardwood floors, provided that your hardwood floors have been sealed and the product is diluted per the instructions on the bottle. We would not recommend using this product on unsealed wood flooring or unsealed natural stone.



                Q. Since the product is called All Purpose Cleaner can I use this product to wash my clothes, carpeting, dishes, or pets?


                A. Our All Purpose Cleaner is formulated for cleaning sealed, hard surfaces only. Think of it as a multi-surface cleaner. We do not recommend using this product on fabric, or for washing one’s skin or pets.



                Q. Is your All Purpose Cleaner pH neutral?


                A. No. Our All Purpose Cleaner has an alkaline pH of between 9.0 and 9.5, but when diluted as per the directions, the solution is essentially neutral for cleaning.
