You talking to your cleaner is all of us after a year of this pandemic. 😂 😂 😂
Hahaah...i'm so weird honestly!
So true😂😂😂
Love your videos! I'm not sure if this is true for all oven doors, but most I have found slide off making it so much easier to clean to inside! Can't wait to see an update on your thoughts of this product!
I've used Branch Basics for years! I use it for the inside & outside of the car, carpet cleaning, everyday stuff...everything! I add lemon essential oil to mine for a natural fresh scent and I think it also increases the cleaning power. Nice video!
SUCH a good idea, i'll have to add lemon to mine as well!
I just found your channel today! I've been watching your videos all day! I love your positivity, and you just seem like such a lovely person! I enjoy all the homemaking content. Oh, and Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Thanks so much! I love homemaking & I cannot WAIT to be a momma!
You have such a sweet spirit! Many blessings to you and your husband as you await your baby boy to arrive!
Thank you so much! We cant wait!!!!!
You are so fun! Loved you sitting in the corner having a conversation with the cleaner, lol. Must say - it's gotta be good if you didn't get a headache from the smell of the cleaner. That's a big bonus!
Yes it is! I was so surpised!
I’ve been enjoying following along with you Kim. On a super trivial matter that I saw a few comments on, just wanted to say that as someone who enjoyed a Coke on occasion when preggo I actually found it refreshing that you left the Dr. Pepper out. Real life can mean a soda now and then, no shame in that. :) And in reality, it’s recommended that pregnant women keep it under 200 mg of caffeine a day, so with 41 mg in that 12 oz can (less than half of an 8 oz. cup of coffee) you’d need almost 5 of them to exceed that “recommended” limit; you’re good to go! Everything in moderation, as they say.
You have no idea how much this comment blesses me. I realize my "guily pleasure" drink of choice is loaded with unhealthy things, but I am very aware of the amounts of sugar & caffeine that I "can" have daily, and I keep those recommendations in mind every time I have caffeine, coffee or dr pepper. 😁 you're comment just warmed my heart, so thank you. 🥰
Thanks Kim! I have been wanting to get non-toxic cleaners for many reasons and I'm excited to try this cleaner now 😊👍
Yay!! Try them, you'll love them!
OK girl! You love cleaning, you love cooking, you love baking! What a joy you are! God is good all the time.
Yes He is🥰
Love this!! Now excuse me while i need to go clean my oven😂 thanks for the motivation!
Haha what a great video! I have been looking to switch to all natural products too and was wondering if this brand was any good. Thanks so much for posting!
Absolutely! & I would 100% recommend Branch Basics!
I bought this product and WE LOVE IT!!! Thank you so much 😊
Lol talking to your cleaner was awesome!😁😁 I love all your videos even when u talk about cleaners!😉😊❤
Aw thank you! I try to keep them interesting!
Haha kim! Love how entertaining you are even during cleaning vidoes 😆
Aw thank you. i try to keep them interesting!
New subbie today...fell in love with your cute, quirky personality! Best of luck on your channel growth! Also, I was wondering if Branch Basics is comparable to castille soap?
I've never tried Castille Soap, i may have to look into that!
Smart girl! I did that too with cats and kids! I get my Branch basics today!! I used Shaklee but want to see how these do with the reviews!!
My favorite all purpose nontoxic cleaner is Young Living Thieves cleaner. It does just about everything and I love it. And it smells incredible. I use that along with copious amounts of vinegar and baking soda. Good job reducing the toxic junk from your home. It takes a good amount of effort but is worth it.
Hi girl! New to your channel! Great non toxic cleaners you are sharing. I'm all about natural products. Thank you for sharing. 😊
Thank you so much 🤗
I have used branch basics for almost a year now and absolutely love it
That product looks amazing~ Glad it is working for you. How did it do on your laundry?
Okay...I ordered the same kit you did and I LOVE the products. Having said that, the only thing that isn't going to work for me is the laundry detergent. I suppose if I'm doing a very small load of laundry it might, but there are two adults, 4 children and two dogs that live in my home. I do at least two large loads of laundry a day. This watered down concentrate, with booster added isn't cutting it for me. I'm curious what you thought of the products. So far everything except the laundry detergent is great.
I just got Branch Basics a month ago and love it so far too!! Love love only having 1 concentrate for basically everything 👍👍
Yes me too! Its so easy!
You might like the Norwex products too Kim. I like the enviro cloths and window polishing cloth as well as the dryer balls. You don't need to buy fabric softener if you use the dryer balls. Love your videos! ( From a fellow Mennonite in Canada 🤗)
I've heard SO many good things about Norwex!
Now I wanna try branch basics! Loved the video!
You should give them a try! I'm very happy with my results!
Another product I'd recommend is microfiber cleaning cloths. I use e-cloths because they're less expensive than Norwex, but if you know someone who sells Norwex you might want to try them. Also Melissa Maker on Makers clean --UA-cam has cloths and info on how they work . Just add water. The cloths pick up the bad stuff. There are several videos and lots of information about the effectiveness of them. ❤️
I'll have to check them out!
Hiii. Just Fyi. I recently discovered that oxiboast needs to be diluted in a little hot water before adding to laundry or cleaning tough stains. Really enjoying your channel. God bless you and your family 😊🙏🏼
So good to know, thanks for the info!
I may just have to give that a try! Good video!
Thank you!
Kim, I don't even like cleaning videos lol, but I loved your video! There is nothing like a clean bathroom- pure bliss and happiness. Hope your pregnancy is treating you well, it must be sooo exciting!!
-Hannah
Thanks for commenting, yes the pregnancy is very exciting! we are getting so ready to meet our little baby!!
@@Kim_Martin You're welcome and yes, y'all should be excited!!
Hi Kim!
New to your channel and love what you’re doing!!
I hadn’t heard of Branch Basic but I’m curious. I have been making (trying to lol) my own products with white vinegar, baking soda, citric acid (great toilet cleaner btw & cheap!), Castile soap and dawn dishwashing liquid (but not all at the same time 😂). It’s super inexpensive but like most people, I love learning about new products!!
Do you know how long the bottle of concentrate should last if you use it for everything?
You’re a gem! 💞
That's so interesting that you make your own cleaners! i love that!! Ive been told if you use it right it can last 4-5 months!
I love branch basics! Works great for everything even my babies cloth diapers:)
You can use that stuff as a hand, face, and body wash as well. They say on their site that you can even wash babies with it!
I love branch basics! I got it about 4 months ago and I'll never go back!
You could let it set overnight and clean it in the oven in the morning. That’s when I switched out my toxic cleaners when I was having my first baby!
Good idea, overnight soak would probably take that stuff off in a hurry!
loved this review! thanks
Packages are so much fun👏🏻🤍👏🏻 I am waiting on a Madewell Purse😅👏🏻🤎
I use Thieves Cleaner from Young Living, but these products look fun & efficient too👏🏻🤍👏🏻
I have baby fever 🤪 you look so cute!☺️
Packages are my absolute fav!
Wow the oven looks amazing
You are so sweet! Your videos make me smile!
You are so kind, thanks for your comment!
Prized Soaps laundry soap has amazing cleaning power! It can be found at E&S
I'll have to look into that!
I'm the UK we have these little wire pads with a purple type powder in,I'm sure it's a baking powder,anyway they remove everything! Literally and you won't have to scrub like you did on the oven door, they are abrasive due the the metal things,it looks like a massive coil of curl all squished in a tiny pad, you can use them on most surfaces and I've never had a issue with them scratching anything.
Those sound like something my mom got me started on, Steel Wool! They work so good!
The best grease cleaner I have ever found is Mean green, i don't know about the toxins, but it literally melt grease and grime off of everything . It is cheap and you can find it at Walmart, and the dollar stores.
Yes, ive used Mean Green before! i agree, it works great!
White vinegar diluted with water can be used all over the house. Maybe add a little lemon juice for a better smell and some baking soda for tough messes. I'm dreaming of the day I can find it in glass bottles instead of plastic.
You can order glass bottles on line. I’m not saying Amazon because I don’t like to give them my business.
You can put your vent filter in the dishwasher... it works
I should try that🤔
Switch out your soda for water kefir or kombucha!
Yes I love nontoxic products as well I use bleach sometimes but that’s it🤍❤️🖤
Yes, sometimes you just need to break out the bleach and do some heavy duty cleaning!
Baking soda and vinegar cost pennies and work just as well. I applaud you for researching the mission statement of this company and deciding to withdraw your support. God bless you and your family as you enter into this exciting time of life! I am nearing 70, and to this day when I think of the time in my life when I was perfectly happy, it was a gorgeous blue-sky September day when my little ones were napping and I was hanging laundry on the line. I vividly remember thinking at that moment that I was experiencing bliss. Wishing you bliss!!
How do you use baking soda and vinegar together to replace these products? I use them as a drain cleaner, but can't think of how to use them together as an all purpose cleaner. I'm 70 also.
Looks like the cleaner works thanks for sharing
No problem 👍
I’d be interested in knowing if you still like Branch Basics in a month or two . Update us please .
Haha i can't wait to see if i love Branch Basics in a month or too as well. I will keep you all updated!
@@Kim_Martin how are you getting on?
You are the cutest sweetheart I'm so glad I found your channel God Bless you and your husband cant wait to meet your new Angel...💜🌟💜
We can't wait to meet him either!!!
How did your laundry turn out?
I love that scrubber you use. Where do you get that?
I believe i picked it up for a few dollars from Walmart!
@@Kim_Martin Awesome! Keep on enjoying your coke! :-)
That is amazing stuff! where can you order it from?
Branch basics has a website! Just look up Branchbasics.com
Thank you very much!we want to have a baby too, so that would be perfect. I am a Mennonite as well from Canada
Could you do a what I eat in a day sometime?
Thats a good idea! I'll add it to my list!
Can you post a "What I Eat/Drink in a Day" pregnancy edition?
Good idea!
@@Kim_Martin yay, I can’t wait to see! Love your channel!
That filter. Soak it like you did, then run it through the dishwasher 😉
Ohhh that's a good idea!!!
Yep, that gets rid of all the grease build up! 👍🏻
Great video I enjoyed the video.😀
Awesome! Thank you!
Do you have something to clean toilet???
Yes i use toilet bowl cleaner, but i'm on the hunt for a natural alternative.
Does it have a smell?
Very slight smell. But it's a clean smell
Oh no...You need to use distilled water! Not tap water. Plus the oxygen booster is a aid for the cleaning products to help for deep cleaning. And great as a duel laundry aid with detergent.
I actually dont use Branch Basics anymore.
@@Kim_Martin oh!?? Why is that?
@@Kim_Martin Please say why not.
Sweetheart, your oven is no worse than the majority of the world. I plan on cleaning mine as soon as I clock out from my job.
You are probably right, but a dirty oven is a pet peeve of mine!
It might clean it but it don't disifeft it
we don't really need a sterile home though. Bad for our immune systems. If someone's been sick, maybe. But not every day. Look into Force of Nature for disinfecting. Serious stuff, and non toxic.
Dont think the dr pepper is good for you either lol. But one eliminating at a time
Yay for non toxic cleaners! I can’t stand the smell of toxic cleaners anymore.
👏👏 Good for you!!! I couldn't agree more!
Cleaning chemical-free while slogging Dr. Pepper lol
You choose your battles 😂
Wow… that’s a bit passive aggressive! Show us what YOU eat, drink, clean with, etc
I get my natural cleaning products from Melalueca.
Hmmm, i should look into that!
Melaleuca products are full of added scents. Those are not toxic free
not everyone can afford those prices!
Do you not go to work Kim ?
I do not, I was working up until my pregnancy.
@@Kim_Martin you are a very lucky young woman
@@swampophelia2098 not lucky at all, just blessed. & incredibly grateful for a husband who views being a stay-at-home mom one of the greatest things a woman can do with her life. ❤
@@Kim_Martin great answer Kim!
🇾🇪🌷🌷🌷🙋🏼♀️
THE INGREDIENTS IN THAT ONE MAIN BOTTLE THAT CLEANS ALL ARE NOTHING SPECIAL.
how do you know?
AngieW-ri6qx but it works so much better.
Stop the Dr Pepper while your pregnant. It’s full of caffeine and sugar So bad for you
😂😂 you are so cute
you are beautiful...
😊 thank you, you're so sweet!
The stove sold it for me!! That's awesome!
It's so good!
