| HOW TO USE ESSENTIAL GOLD Essential Gold Concentrate must be diluted with water to be effective. Suggested dilutions for specific applications are listed below – these are just guidelines. Dilutions will vary depending upon the quality of the water used to dilute – the harder the water, more concentrate is needed – the softer the water, the less concentrate needed. General guidelines for dilution rates:
10:1 – Average strength 20:1 – Mild strength 100:1 – Ultra-Light strength (Glass/Windows/Mirrors) 5 oz Water to 1 oz Essential Gold
Bathtub Mats Candle Wax Degreaser Fish Odor Furniture Refinishing Old or Antique Paint Permanent Marker Skunk Odor (on pets) Tar Remover Tree Sap 10 oz Water to 1 oz Essential Gold

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.
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.

As with any paint or varnish remover, multiple applications may be necessary. VEGETABLES (50:1) – Spray, then wipe and rinse. Or, put vegetables in a large bowl, fill with water and spray solution into the bowl, let soak several minutes. VENTS (5:1) – Remove vent cover, spray, let sit, then wipe. Rinse with water. If cover is non-removable, spray solution on a damp cloth. Wipe with a clean damp cloth. VINYL (10:1) – Spray directly on vinyl, wipe with a damp cloth. Spray on a damp mop or sponge to clean vinyl floors. If heavily soiled, use a nylon brush. VINYL AUTO TOPS (10:1) – Spray and gently agitate with a damp terry cloth. WALLPAPER (50:1) – Use a very light solution. Test first in an inconspicuous area. Spray damp rag or sponge with Essential Gold and wipe. Dry off immediately. WALLPAPER STRIPPING (5:1) – Using a garden sprayer filled with solution, spray walls and let sit for several minutes so solution can soak through wallpaper and dissolve glue. (By the time you finish spraying all the walls, you can start scraping where you started spraying.) Wallpaper will peel off. Use a paint scraper, if necessary. WALLS (50:1) – Spray in inconspicuous area first to test color-fastness. Spray and wipe with a damp cloth, then dry with a dry cloth. WATER DAMAGE (5:1) – Spray and let sit for a few minutes, scrub with a stiff brush. WAX SURFACES (100:1) – To clean candles or wax sculptures, mist on and wipe clean. WAX REMOVAL (2:1) – The biggest problem with wax is that it leaves an oily residue. Chill, crack and peel off excess wax. Apply strong solution or raw Concentrate. Wait 5 minutes and wipe away. If necessary, scrub and repeat. Use a weaker solution on very delicate fabric. WINDOW FRAMES (50:1) – Spray onto a soft, clean cloth or spray directly on window fame and wipe clean. Rinse and buff dry with a second soft cloth. Remember, all but a very weak solution may cause streaking on glass. WINDOWS (100:1) – Spray very diluted solution of Essential Gold directly on glass surfaces (Higher concentrations tend to streak). Wipe clean with rag or paper towel. Dry with a dry rag or paper towel. WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID (100:1) – Fill your vehicle’s wiper fluid container with an ounce of 100:1 solution to help keep bugs and grime off your windshield. TIP: After you’ve emptied your gallon of Essential Gold Concentrate, fill with purified water to “rinse” remaining soap from bottle. Use this to fill up your wiper fluid. WOOD DECKS (5:1) – Essential Gold works well in pressure washers for outdoor wood like decks. If badly soiled or blackened, dip a stiff brush into solution and scrub. It is great for removing mildew on hot tub wood surfaces. NOTE: Use with added care on unsealed wood, because though an oil emulsifier, Essential Gold is water-based. Dry the wood surface completely with a clean cloth after wiping it with solution. WOOD FLOORS (50:1) – Spray on floor and use damp mop to thoroughly rinse clean. WOUNDS (5:1) – Wounds and cuts should always be washed thoroughly with soap and water. Essential Gold is the finest, purest soap for such purposes and can be used with poultices. WORKSHOP TOOLS (5:1) – Spray and wipe. Essential Gold works exceptionally well for removing unwanted grease and grit! YARD EQUIPMENT (5:1) – Spray and wipe. |
