I absolutely love the smell of this particular Fabuloso. It reminds me of visiting my mother on the island of St. John. She used it daily, especially after hurricanes to freshen up the house. I put it in spray bottles and use them in different areas of my home. I've tried several scents but this is my FAVORITE!!!! I haven't come across anything yet that it doesn't clean. anonymous · walmart.com

I love Branch Basics concentrate. It tackles every mess with ease and doesn't leave behind toxic scent. I can't recommend it enough. I even use it for washing greasy dishes and it works like a charm. Also, I love how minimal it is. You can use it for literally everything and I do! It's even safe enough to use around the kids. My older kids have decided they really enjoy cleaning now.
