ESSENTIAL GOLD -- USER GUIDE
HOW TO USE ESSENTIAL GOLD
Essential Gold Concentrate must be diluted with water to be effective. Diluting
Essential Gold with reverse osmosis or distilled water is not required, but will
further enhance positive results. Suggested dilutions for specific applications
are listed below – these are just guidelines. We suggest that you make up a
few spray bottles containing different concentrations. Have spray bottles
available in different rooms and areas around the house, garage, farm,
camper, car, etc.
General guidelines for dilution rates:
5 oz Water to 1 oz Essential Gold*
10 oz Water to 1 oz Essential Gold
100 oz Water to 1 oz Essential Gold
*Some job results are best if you allow 5-10 minutes of contact time
(Spray and leave on for 5-10 minutes before wiping off or scrubbing)
ADHESIVES (2:1) – Spray and allow to soak 15 to 20 minutes. Agitate with
brush or fingernail and rinse clean.
ALL-PURPOSE CLEANER (10:1) – For normal jobs, spray and wipe. For
tough jobs, spray on, agitate the molecules with a brush and let stand for two
minutes, then wipe clean.
APPLIANCES (5:1-10:1) – Spray, let sit for 30 seconds, then wipe.
APPLIANCES (STAINLESS STEEL) (20:1) – Spray and wife.
AQUARIUMS (5:1) – Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for aquarium
cleaning, using solution in place of soap or detergent. Rinse thoroughly and
carefully, as aquariums are glass. (see also WINDOWS) Essential Gold helps
eliminate odors from aquariums, snake habitats and other pet areas without
leaving a harmful toxic residue.
AUTO EXTERIOR (5:1) – Spray on, wait 30 seconds, and then wipe with damp
cloth. Fill a bucket with water and add 4-6 ounces of solution. Use a sponge
or rag to wash vehicle, or use a hose attachment containing solution to spray
directly on vehicle. Use sponge to agitate. Rinse clean with hose. Essential
Gold run-off does not harm environment.
AUTO INTERIORS (5:1) – Note: For Leather Interiors, see section on
LEATHER. Spray solution on all surfaces first to allow grime to begin
breaking down while you work. Use a small brush or toothbrush to get into
crevices. Wipe each surface with damp towel or cloth (spray with distilled or
other purified water for greater cleaning power). Scrub where necessary.
Follow with dry cloth. For fabric upholstery, use an aerating foam pump
dispenser with a lighter solution (10:1). Brush clean in a circular motion. Lift
stains by spot cleaning and pressing with clean cloth, alternating damp cloth
with dry cloth.
AUTOMOTIVE PARTS (5:1) – Soak in a container filled with solution. Wipe or
brush clean.
BABIES (20:1) – Use from a spray bottle or an aerating foam pump
dispenser. Make your own completely NON-TOXIC baby wipes! Spray or
squirt solution onto a soft, moist towel, washcloth or paper towel. Try also with
an aerating foam pump dispenser. Dispense one or two pumps onto toilet
paper for an “ultra-safe”, ultra-clean bottom.
BABY TOYS (5:1) – Spray solution directly onto washable toys. Or, fill bucket
with warm water, add 2-4 ounces solution and allow toys to soak. Use small
brush to clean in crevices if necessary. Rinse clean. For fabric toys or
stuffed animals, launder or hand wash with Essential Gold. Give your baby
the benefit of a clean, chemical free, safe play environment! Don’t forget the
preschool and big kid toys – especially for shared play areas.
BATHTUB MAT (5:1) – Spray both sides with solution. Let sit 30 seconds.
Agitate with stiff brush or terry cloth rag. Rinse.
BATHTUB / SHOWER (5:1) – Sponge on or spray solution on all surfaces.

with damp cloth and buff dry.
BIRDS (50:1) – Using a 4 oz. spray bottle (to create a very fine mist), spray in
air above bird and let solution rain down, lightly coating feathers. Bird will
preen itself clean.
BIRD CAGES (10:1) – Sweep out bottom of cage. Dampen cloth thoroughly
with Essential Gold and wipe all surfaces. For droppings, spray directly on
spots, and agitate if needed. Follow with fresh moist cloth to rinse areas
clean. For odor control, spray bottom of cage with solution after cleaning.

dispenser on blood spots. Leave soaking or agitate with brush and rinse.
Overnight soaking does wonders on larger spots.

and leave up to 30 minutes. Wipe with wet terry cloth. For other areas, wait
from 30 seconds to 2 minutes before wiping, depending on the type of
surface. For vinyl seats, spray with Essential Gold and wipe with a damp
cloth. Heavy buildup may require some scrubbing with a brush.
BODY/BATH WASH (20:1) – Essential Gold is the soap of preference for the
hypoallergenic, chemically sensitive, and health-conscious individual. A
couple drops of essential oils (Young Living) may be added for healthy
fragrance.

brass surfaces. Wipe with a damp cloth (sprayed with solution). Dry
thoroughly.

machine to clean carpets, use 2 - 4 ounces of Essential Gold Concentrate per
gallon of water. Use the soap solution only ONCE on the carpet, then simply

solution. Light carpets work best with a lighter dilution, darker carpets work
best with stronger solution. Test small area first.

detergents. Follow manufacturer’s washing instructions for fabric type and
clothing. For the best laundry results, always use a solution pre-mixed with
water — NOT raw Concentrate since it more rapidly disperses in the wash
cycle and the molecules have already been activated by water. Pre-treat
spots and stains with solution sprayed directly on spot. Agitate by rubbing
fabric together or use a brush. Soaking also helps lift dirt and stains.
Because most detergents cover stains and do not actually remove them, you
may see former stains “re-appear”. Simply spray with Essential Gold and
wash again.

fill as usual and allow to agitate for 2 minutes. Stop the wash cycle by
opening the lid or pulling up on the dial for the desired amount of soaking
time. Then resume washing as usual by closing the lid or pushing in on the
dial. Essential Gold cleans just as powerfully in cold water as in hot water.
Since hot water breaks down fabric and dyes, you can launder with Essential

look better and last longer.

LAUNDRY (5:1) – Use Essential Gold to replace toxic commercial laundry
detergents. Follow manufacturer’s washing instructions for fabric type and
clothing. For the best laundry results, always use a solution pre-mixed with
water — NOT raw Concentrate since it more rapidly disperses in the wash
cycle and the molecules have already been activated by water. Pre-treat
spots and stains with solution sprayed directly on spot. Agitate by rubbing
fabric together or use a brush. Soaking also helps lift dirt and stains.
Because most detergents cover stains and do not actually remove them, you
may see former stains “re-appear”. Simply spray with Essential Gold and
wash again.
SMALL LOADS or LIGHTLY SOILED: Use 2 to 4 ounces of 5:1 solution
MEDIUM LOADS or MEDIUM SOILED: Use 4 to 6 ounces of 5:1 solution
LARGE LOADS or HEAVILY SOILED: Use 6 to 8 ounces of 5:1 solution
If laundry is especially greasy or soiled, allow to soak at least 30 minutes or
overnight if necessary. Use the pre-soak feature on your washing machine or
fill as usual and allow to agitate for 2 minutes. Stop the wash cycle by
opening the lid or pulling up on the dial for the desired amount of soaking
time. Then resume washing as usual by closing the lid or pushing in on the
dial. Essential Gold cleans just as powerfully in cold water as in hot water.
Since hot water breaks down fabric and dyes, you can launder with Essential
Gold in cold water to promote fabric longevity. As a result, your clothes will
look better and last longer.
- NOTE: Local water quality varies by municipality and regions. “Hard”
water (high in minerals) will require more Essential Gold solution than
“soft” water. Minerals in hard water also cause dull, dingy/discolored
whites. For brighter whites, consider investing in a water softener
instead of using poisonous bleach. Essential Gold activates the
residue in previously bleached clothing. This should disappear after
several washings. Do not use chlorine bleach with Essential Gold.
Food grade hydrogen peroxide works well with Essential Gold for a
whitening effect. Chemicals and fragrances in most laundry detergents
are actually poisonous and remain in fabrics to be absorbed by your
skin all day. Toxic residues left on clothing by commercial laundry
detergents enter your body through the skin. In turn, they leave toxic
residues in your tissues and fat cells, complex molecules that your body
must work hard to break down and detoxify. To eliminate both, dirt and
chemicals, out of clothing and away from your skin, launder with
Essential Gold utilizing micelle molecular technology instead of
chemicals to get the fibers of your fabrics truly clean.
accumulation of dirt. Use water pressure to help remove grit. Soaking
sprayed stuff in sunshine helps.

dry with a second soft cloth.
