FAQ

Thank you for your interest in Branch Basics! We only sell our products through our site, and ship to the United States, Canada and APO for military. 

The Concentrate and the Oxygen Boost are made in the United States. All of the ingredients are sourced from either the US or Europe. Most bottles are made in the US, but the foaming wash bottles, the spray triggers and the silicone sleeves on the glass bottles come from China. The scrub brushes are also from China. Whenever possible, we source from the US, and will continue to look for great options that are made here.

Oxygen Boost is used to to boost the power of The Concentrate. It is great for laundry, stains, grout, pots and pans, and more. Check out the following resources for instructions on how to use:

and watch How To Use Oxygen Boost On Pots And Pans 

It may take a little experimenting to see what works best for you.

Here are some suggestions to try. 

1. 3/4 - 1 capful of laundry solution is a good amount for a regular sized lightly-soiled load. If you are doing large loads or heavily-soiled loads, you will need more. Try a cap and a half.

2. Do you have hard water? Hard water (high in minerals) may require more laundry solution than soft water.

3. If you have hard water try adding a 1/2 cup - 1 cup distilled white vinegar and/or baking soda to your wash.

4. Are you using Oxygen Boost in every load? If not, add a scoop to the drum of the washing machine before adding clothes to the machine. It's great at helping to white whites and brighten colors.

5.  If you have smelly workout clothes, pretreat the armpits with a spray of all-purpose before putting them in the wash.

6. Do you have an HE machine? Some machines are too efficient and don't use enough water to be effective. Try adding a few cups of water to the drum of the machine, especially when you are doing large loads.
