12 Ways to Use Thieves Household Cleaner
When I heard about this All Purpose cleaner that would replace literally everything under my sink I was like “yeah right” ๐
Cleaning has definitely become a much more pleasant task โ no more itchy eyes, irritated skin & runny nose from all the harsh chemicals โ plus it saves us quite a bit of money. Like many people, I used to have a cupboard in my bathroom dedicated to all my cleaning products; something for the floor, something for the bathroom, something to remove stains, something for windows and the list goes on.
Then I found Thieves Household Cleaner. This stuff is like the equivalent of Windex in the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
What is Thieves Household Cleaner?
Itโs hard to believe, this all-in-one natural cleaner thatโs non-toxic, yet super effective.
Itโs made with 100% plant- and mineral-based ingredients.
Why Itโs Economical
Thieves Household Cleaner is super concentrated. The small 426ml bottle (also comes in 1.8L) can be diluted into up to 30 spray bottles amounting to AUD $1.30 each (less than US$1)!! Thatโs cheaper than most all-natural cleaners on the market.
Dilution Ratios
Light Cleaning– 1 capful cleaner to 3 cups water for things that don’t require a lot of elbow grease (Glass & Windows, Dining Table/Chairs)
Regular Cleaning (this will be your “go to” for everyday cleaning: 1 capful cleaner to 2 cups water (floors, inside the fridge, kitchen sink, bathroom sink, bench top, shower)
Heavy Cleaning โ 1 capful cleaner and 1 cup of water โ (bathroom toilets, oven & stovetops, microwave, pots/pans & bakeware) things that require a little more elbow grease
