Diluting The Botanical Miracle
The Botanical Miracle comes in a one- (1) gallon bottle and is manufactured in an extremely concentrated form.
There is virtually no reason to ever use The Botanical Miracle in its concentrated form. We manufacture it this way to save you on shipping costs which would incur by purchasing diluted versions of this product.
How much dilution is required?
Before we start discussing the many different uses and dilution rates for the different tasks The Botanical Miracle may be used for, we are going to give you two pieces of advice.
Our dilution rates are expressed in this form 2:1, 5:1 etc.
Example: If you wished to make three (3) units (pints or gallons) of The Botanical Miracle at a 2:1 ratio, you would add two (2) parts (units) of water to one (1) part (unit) of the concentrate to make a total of three (3) units.
If you are using a 1.5:1 you would add one and a HALF parts of water to ONE part of the concentrate to make a total of TWO and a HALF units.
Note: These conversion rates use the US measurement of 128 ounces to the gallon or 16 ounces to the pint.
1.5:1 = approximately 40 ounces (2.5 pints) to 1 gallon of water.
4:1 = approximately 25 ounces to 1 gallon of water.
10:1 = approximately 10 ounces to 1 gallon of water.
20:1 = approximately 5 ounces to 1 gallon of water.
50:1 = approximately 2 ounces to 1 gallon of water.
128:1 = approximately 1 ounce to 1 gallon of water.

LAUNDRY (4:1) The Botanical Miracle replaces toxic commercial laundry detergents. Always follow the manufacturers instructions on washing for fabric type and clothing. See also GRASS STAINS, INK, and MARKERS. FOR BEST RESULTS: use this solution (previously mixed with water, NOT raw concentrate), because it rapidly disperses in the washing cycle, and the molecules will have already been activated by water.
On especially greasy or soiled clothing, allow to soak overnight. This can be done by using the pre-soak feature, or by allowing the machine to fill with water and agitate for a few minutes. To stop the wash cycle, open the lid or pull out the dial, allow to sit, and then resume washing as usual. Because hot water breaks down fabric and dyes, cold water is ideal with The Botanical Miracle to promote fabric longevity.
Note: Water qualities will vary by region. Hard water will require more solution than soft water. Discolored or dingy whites are caused by minerals in hard water, and bleach is poisonous. Consider using a water softener for brighter whites, and The Botanical Miracle activates previously bleached clothing. Chlorine bleach is NOT recommended to be used with The Botanical Miracle. However, food grade hydrogen peroxide will promote whiteness with the solution.
Note:
Did you know chemicals and fragrances in
laundry detergents are poisonous.
Note:
Did you know these chemicals are absorbed by
your skin because they are not ever completely
washed out of the clothing. These toxic residues
enter the body through the skin, and in turn,
leave complex toxic molecules. Your body must
then work hard to detoxify the body.
The Botanical Miracle uses micelle molecular technology to get both dirt and chemicals out of the clothing, and therefore keeps them out of your body.
