And the Winner Is: Branch Basics

If you haven’t had the urge to clean your house top to bottom in anticipation of baby’s arrival, just wait. This nesting instinct tends to be strongest in the later weeks as you count down the days until delivery—but it could hit at any time. Your hormones may be partially to blame, but nerves can play a big role too. As exciting as adding a new member to the family can be, change can be scary. Preparing your home for the new arrival can help give you an edge over that anxiety.

Many cleaning products contain harsh chemicals that can be harmful to you and baby. Branch Basics was founded by three women on a mission to help people toss toxins from their routines and live healthier lives. They created a singular concentrate that, when mixed with water, eliminates dozens of toxic cleaners.

What We Love

  • It works—really! Unlike other “natural” cleaning products we’ve tried, this one is the real deal. It removes soap scum from bathroom tile and spaghetti stains from bibs like a champ

  • One bottle of concentrate mixed with water creates an all-purpose cleaner, bathroom cleaner, streak-free window cleaner, foaming wash and laundry soap. It’s a cost-effective cleaning system that’s gentle on the environment too. Pair with the Oxygen Boost for hard-to-tackle cleaning projects (like laundry) and prepare to be amazed

  • The mineral- and plant-based formula is completely safe for humans, not tested on animals and free of fragrances

  • Branch Basics boasts the MADE SAFE seal, the most comprehensive safety standard available, indicating that it’s made without 5,000+ toxic chemicals
