In this blog post you will find my favorite everyday natural cleaning recipes! I literally use nothing else daily or weekly to clean our home.
A lung study published this year showed that using traditional cleaners in your home one time a week is the equivalent of smoking a pack of cigarettes per day!
It takes less than 30 seconds for those toxic chemicals to be absorbed through your skin making the harmful effects almost immediately.
Making natural and safe cleaners is super easy! For a full tutorial, you can check out How to Make Your Own Room Sprays/Cleaners Tutorial:
Plant-based products for the win!
If you want to start using plant-based products but are not sure where to start, start with the Thieves Household Cleaner! It is versatile, effective, affordable, and you can clean your ENTIRE house with it!
The Thieves blend was inspired by the legend of four 15th-century French thieves who formulated and wore a special aromatic combination of clove, rosemary, and other botanicals that they believed provided protection while they were stealing. French authorities recognized that there was such value in this mixture that upon the thieves’ capture, they received a more merciful punishment on condition that they divulge the ingredients in their secret formula.
Thieves Household Cleaner uses naturally derived, plant-based ingredients and essential oils like Lemon and Thieves to give you a safer way to clean your home. Thieves Household Cleaner is formulated without the harsh or dangerous chemicals found in many traditional clean products. It’s made with a vegan-friendly, plant-based formula.
Thieves Household Cleaner is a concentrate and you use one cap for every 16 ounces of water making it super affordable and your cleaning will never be prettier!
We use it on your countertops, floors, furniture, windows, walls, our oven, toilets, and on any surface that needs cleaning! Wherever you use it, you’ll feel good knowing it’s safe to use around everyone in your family, including pets!
Thieves household ingredients:
Water, Alkyl Polyglucoside, Sodium Methyl 2-Sulfolaurate, Disodium 2-Sulfolaurate, Thieves [Eugenia Caryophyllus† (Clove) Bud Oil, Citrus Limon† (Lemon) Peel Oil, Cinnamomum Zeylanicum† (Cinnamon) Bark Oil, Eucalyptus Radiata† Leaf Oil, and Rosmarinus Officinalis† (Rosemary) Leaf Oil], and Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate.
The Science
Here’s some the research found on Thieves:
When compared to other conventional and even “green” cleaners, Thieves Household, Thieves Essential Oil and Oregano Oil kept the yucky things from growing back longer!

The Cost
What if you could replace harsh store bought cleaners with a natural option that actually costs less? Sound like a no brainer to me! Let’s break down the cost of using Thieves instead.
DIY Thieves Cleaner
To make your own Thieves solution, you just need a bottle of Thieves for $51.64, which has 250 drops. This makes your cost .20/drop. I like to use 30 drops of essential oils in a 16 ounce spray bottle.
Total $3 per 16 ounce spray bottle
Pre Made Thieves Household concentrate
You just need one bottle of Thieves household to make (28) 16 ounce all purpose cleaners! When you select a single bottle of Thieves at $33.55, your cleaner cost is $1.19/bottle.

Conclusion
Consider this:
👉🏻 What you’re cleaning your floors with…you (and your babies, kids and fur babies) are absorbing through your feet
👉🏻 What you’re cleaning your counters with…is being transferred into the food you’re eating
👉🏻 What you’re cleaning your bathtub with…you’re soaking your body in
👉🏻 What you wash your clothes and bedding in….you’re covering your entire body with
👉🏻 Your skin is the largest organ of your body and absorbs everything you put on it
