As the seasons change and spring arrives, many of us feel the urge to refresh our homes.

However, the benefits of a thorough cleaning go beyond just springtime.

With Young Living's Thieves Household Cleaner, you can embrace a worry-free cleaning experience all year long.

This remarkable product simplifies your cleaning routine while promoting a low-to-no toxin lifestyle that many are seeking today.

The Story Behind the Name

The name "Thieves" may seem unusual for a cleaning product, but it carries a rich history. Legend has it that during the 15th century in France, a group of thieves managed to evade the bubonic plague while robbing the homes of the sick. When caught, they revealed their secret: a blend of spices and plant extracts that they applied to protect themselves.

Inspired by this story, Young Living™️ created the Thieves essential oil blend, which features a unique combination of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary. This blend is now the backbone of Thieves Household Cleaner.

The Thieves®️ signature blend is not just a catchy name; it embodies the essence of natural cleaning. By harnessing the power of nature, Thieves Household Cleaner provides an effective solution for various cleaning needs without resorting to harsh chemicals. This makes it an ideal choice for families wanting to maintain a safe and healthy indoor environment for littles, bigs, and furry family members.

A Multi-Purpose Solution

One of the standout features of Thieves Household Cleaner is its versatility. With just one bottle, you can create a multitude of DIY cleaning solutions—60-65 capfuls in each 14.4 fl. oz. bottle! This ultra-concentrated formula means you don’t need to clutter your cabinets with multiple products.

Whether you’re tackling kitchen counters, bathroom surfaces, or even carpets, Thieves has you covered. *We even add a few drops to our laundry rinse cycle.

For general cleaning, simply mix one capful (approx. 1/2 tsp) of Thieves Household Cleaner with 2 cups of water, that's a 30:1 ratio. For tougher jobs, a more concentrated solution can be prepared. This flexibility allows you to tailor your cleaning approach based on the task at hand, all while using a single product. The dilution of 15:1 or higher is safe on most non-porous surfaces. If you're concerned about the surface you want to clean (granite, plastic, wood, or fabric), simply do a small spot test in an inconspicuous area. We do not recommend this to be used on vinyl or soft plastics.

Thieves Household Cleaner is crafted with plant-based ingredients, ensuring that it’s safe to use around children and pets when used as directed. It is Cruelty-Free with non-GMO ingredients. There are no synthetic shortcuts or harsh chemicals here, which means you can clean your home with peace of mind.
