6. Important Notes

Color Variation:

Color variation in the concentrate is normal and expected. As the formula is made with real, plant and mineral-based ingredients, natural color shifts can occur. Chamomile, a key ingredient, is particularly influenced by crop, soil, and growing conditions, leading to variations from very pale to deeper amber hues. The color may also deepen over time. These variations are a sign of the natural formula and do not affect the product's quality, safety, or performance.

7. Storage

Store the Branch Basics Concentrate in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to maintain product integrity.

8. Troubleshooting

Suboptimal Cleaning: If you find the cleaning performance is not as expected, double-check your dilution ratios. Adjusting the concentration slightly may be necessary for particularly tough jobs or specific surfaces.
Stubborn Stains: For persistent stains, consider pre-treating the area with undiluted concentrate or a stronger dilution, allowing it to sit for a longer period before cleaning. For best results on tough stains, combine with Branch Basics Oxygen Boost (sold separately).
