All Natural Cleaning

With a toddler and two dogs ... #1 I NEED to clean a lot  #2  I used to struggle to clean, because of the harsh chemical and all the odors.

I started using Thieves Household Cleaner from Young Living.

I have several spray bottles mixed with a 30:1 ratio.  That means if the spray bottle is about 30 ounces, I have one ounce of Thieves.  That's it!  That's also why the bottle may seem expensive, but you dilute so it lasts and goes so much further.

It comes in two sizes, 14.4 ounces and 64 ounces.  The smaller bottle is $28.95 retail, and $22 wholesale.  The 64 oz bottle is $112.17 retail, and $85.25 wholesale.  (The wholesale discount is available to members, which is when you buy a starter kit.  There are NO membership fees.)

YoungLiving.com :
"The improved Thieves® Household Cleaner has increased cleansing power and an even safer, more sustainable formulation. The new formula contains ingredients from renewable plant and mineral sources, vegetable-based surfactants, and even more Thieves and lemon essential oils for extra cleaning power. Bottle is 100% recyclable.

Dilution ratios: light degreasing 60:1; medium degreasing 30:1; heavy degreasing 15:1; floors 100:1; walls 30:1; upholstery, fabrics, carpet spotting 40:1; carpet 100:1; glass 320:1; pots and pans; 100:1 hand cleaner 1:1."

My supportive group of oilers has some great tips and tricks in our Facebook group for our team members.  A great list of ways to use Thieves Household Cleaner.   Really gets you thinking and cleaning out your stash of chemical-filled cleaners, that you probably have locked away from kiddos.

Here are a few of my favorites from the long list in our group ...
Notice the last one is carpet and upholstery.  This worked wonders on our microfiber couch.  We spend most of our time on this couch, and clearly the dogs are allowed to lounge on it too.  I use this to spot clean the carpet too, and mop the wood floors.  Happy mom!
