We have been using the Basic H product from Shaklee now for a few months.  Replacing regular cleaners for this healthy alternative. Aside from it being the most versatile cleaning product I have ever used, and being safe enough to drink, this product is 100 natural and completely biodegradable.

This sent me on a search to see what it is made of, and I came across a forum that was asking the same question as me.  What they had come up with was this:

The materials listed are:Deionized WaterPareth 25-7 (Surfactant)Linear Alcohol Alkoxylate (Surf.)Dowicil 75 (Antioxidant)Hydrochloric Acid (pH Adjuster)Butylated Hydroxytoluene (Antiox.)D & C Green #5 (Colour)Methyl Paraben (Colour Preserv.)
