Whether you know it, use it and love it—or this is the first time you’ve heard of it—your cleaning is about to be transformed by the strength and versatility of the all-purpose Thieves Household Cleaner.
This ultra-concentrated, plant-based powerhouse is a reliable chore champion that truly lives up to its ‘all-purpose’ claims. Wood, granite, glass, fabrics—no problem! The best part? It contains no harsh chemicals, so you don’t have to worry about touching or breathing in the harmful toxins found in conventional cleaners—it’s safe to use around your whole family!
Most cleaning applications use 30 parts water to 1 part Thieves Household Cleaner—but more concentrated dilutions may be needed to tackle tougher messes.
Thieves Household Cleaner is safe to use at a 15:1 dilution or higher. One capful of Thieves Household Cleaner is equal to approximately ½ tablespoon, so ½ cup of water mixed with one capful of cleaner yields a 15:1 dilution.
For best results, mix only the amount of cleaner that you need to use right away!
Spot Test It
Before using Thieves Household Cleaner, do a small spot test in a discrete, less visible location on the material you plan to clean—especially if cleaning porous surfaces like wood, hard plastic, fabric or granite.
Avoid using on soft plastics or vinyl—as the highly concentrated formula can eat away at these materials.
Did you know that one bottle of Thieves Household Cleaner is equivalent to 17 bottles of 765 ml all-purpose cleaner?
We discovered 25 ways to use Thieves Household Cleaner—and still used less than one bottle! With 60-65 capfuls of the cleaner in each 426 ml bottle, we still had plenty to spare after making each of these solutions.
