Spring is here! Do you believe it?! I am ready! I can’t wait to rid our home of all things winter – pack the warm clothes, coats and boots away, clean all traces of winter from the windows, floors, walls, furniture and most importantly, disinfect and freshen up from all the winter blah! Spring cleaning will be so much easier, affordable and SAFER this year since we started using Young Living Essential Oils and more specifically, Thieves Household Cleaner!
What is Thieves Household Cleaner?
If you are looking to detoxify your home of chemical cleaners, Thieves Household Cleaner is for you! What is so great about it? It is an ALL-NATURAL, ALL-PURPOSE and very AFFORDABLE cleaner. We literally use it for everything! It is made with renewable plant and mineral sources, vegetable-based surfactants compliant with the Green Seal and EPA Design for Environment standards AND contains Thieves and Lemon essential oils.
Thieves Household cleaner comes in 2 sizes. The largest size is 64 oz. and as a Wholesale Member, you would pay $85.25. This sounds like a lot, but it is NOT and here is why – the 64 oz. bottle makes 128, 30 oz. bottles. This means each 30 oz. bottle is .67 cents! I don’t think there is a household cleaner on the market that cheap! The smaller bottle is 14.4 fl oz. and as a Wholesale Member it is $22.00. This makes 29, 30 oz. bottles at $1.32 each. Talk about a steal! Obviously, it’s a much larger investment to buy the 64 oz. bottle, so if you are new to Young Living, the 14.4 fl oz. bottle is a good place to start!
Check out some of the dilution ratios that Young Living recommends that we’ve used:
Light degreasing 60:1
Medium degreasing 30:1
Heavy degreasing 15:1
Floors 100:1
Walls 30:1
Upholstery, fabrics and carpet spotting 40:1
Carpet 100:1
Glass 320:1
Pots and pans 100:1
Hand cleaner 1:1
If you don’t own Thieves Household Cleaner you can use many essential oils for all of your cleaning needs! Here are some of our favorites – Thieves, Lemon, Purification, Lavender and Melaleuca to just name a few. All of these oils are included in the Premium Starter Kit!
