Your Google must be broken....

I just Googled it and found this:

"Basic-G is a concentrated quaternary ammonium-based germicide and cleaner. This germicide disinfects and deodorizes as it cleans, and does not contain ingredients such as chlorine, phenol or glutaraldehyde. Although designed as a general household disinfectant, it may be utilized in a wide variety of environments as long as its use is consistent with labeling, and in compliance with federal, state and local requirements. All claims we make regarding the effectiveness of Basic-G are for hard non-porous surfaces with a contact time of ten minutes in the single dilution ratio of 1:256 (or ½-oz. per gallon of water) in accordance with EPA requirements"

Hope that helps

I love basic G! Licensing is allowing it as a substitute for bleach solution in some areas, but you would need to double check with your individual licensor to be sure *they* won't give you any issues with it.

I found this on the internet where that says "Basic-G is a concentrated quaternary ammonium-based germicide and cleaner." but I am still looking for something more official than that for you though.

I will post again if I find more info.

We can use a quaternary solution if it is 400ppm for diaper changing areas, hard toys and general purpose and 200ppm for toys that are mouthed and food contact surfaces.

i have no idea what any of this meas though

ppm means parts per million.

I am sure there has to be a link out there that will tell you the quantities/qualities in Basic G.

If not, you could probably contact Shaklee and ask....

Apparently I posted this link a couple of years ago in a similar thread, lol. Again not all the info you are looking for but at least the EPA number is listed.

Yes, but I have added it to laundry and sprayed it on vomit hits on carpet before without issue. Shaklee is very careful not to market their products to be used in any other ways than what it has been officially tested and labeled for.

It also is quite effective on athletes foot and molluscum when the diluted product is applied to skin. I've actually witnessed these ones myself. A friends little girl had molluscum all over her torso and mom had tried everything for it, she had even lost her daycare it was so bad. Approximately a week or so after spraying the sores, you could barely tell they were ever there, and I've seen these things linger for months and months. It was crazy!

Disclaimer, I am not telling you this is a safe use of the product, just a couple of the unusual uses for it I've seen and heard of.
