Thieves Household Cleaner (Is it Cost Effective?)

Chances are..if you clean your house, you might just have a multitude of cleaners under your cabinet.

OR, in your laundry room. OR scattered around your house.

One of the BEST ways to save money is to make your own cleaners – truthfully, there isn’t anything that you can’t make yourself that won’t do better than store or name-brand varieties. There really isn’t…   as long as you have baking soda, vinegar and peroxide at home you can really clean just about anything.

Although I do make many of my own cleaners and have for some time, the only cleaner that I actually Do purchase for my household is Thieves Cleaner – and it lasts a long time. LONG time!

Now… obviously I’m a huge fan of Thieves Cleaner because I’m a huge fan of Young Living… but in all honesty , every time I share this cleaner with family or friends, they are always fast to mention how much they love it too.

What is Thieves Household Cleaner?

Thieves Household Cleaner is a plant-based cleaner that is an ALL in ONE ~ it is made of plant and mineral based ingredients and is very concentrated.

• Therapeutic grade Thieves and Lemon Essential Oils (both are great for cleaning)
• Biodegradable cutting agents with ingredients that are rated as a 0 on the Environmental Working Group’s Health Hazard Score (which runs 0 to 10 – 10 of which is being the worst, and 0 is the “best”)..
• And Vegetable based surfactants that are Green Seal Compliant and also compliant with EPA design for Environment standards
• It’s non-toxic

Thieves Ratios per Young Living

• All-purpose cleaner: Combine 1 capful Thieves Household Cleaner and 16 oz – 24 oz Water
• Degreaser: Combine 1 capful Thieves Household Cleaner and 2 cups water. For heavy cleaning, use half or quarter the amount of water. If necessary, use a cloth to apply Thieves Household Cleaner undiluted. After cleaning, wipe the area with a cloth dampened with water.
• Glass and mirror cleaner: Combine 1 capful Thieves Household Cleaner, 5 drops Citrus Fresh™ essential oil blend, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, and 3 cups water.

The best part of this cleaner is that (as mentioned) it’s concentrated – one capful to 15 oz. of water will allow you to stretch the bottle a long ways. Use old Thieves Cleaner bottles re-fashioned with a new spray bopper to make a bottle for each room of the house.

You can even mix with a little Pine for make your own Pine Sol Cleaner (DIY!)

OR, use an old Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar Bottle with a spray topper too.
