Discover how to make Thieves Cleaner, which is a natural and effective all-purpose cleaner spray to keep your home sparkling clean!
I have been making and using Thieves Household Cleaner in our home for over 4 years now! It is so great that I have not once been tempted to look for another natural all-purpose cleaner – especially when I remember it cost me less than $1 to make an entire 16 oz spray bottle!!
The cleaner is made from the ultra concentrated Thieves Household Cleaner solution. This powerful solution is plant based and safe to use around your entire family and pets, because there are no harsh chemicals or synthetics in the ingredients. It works to effectively remove grime and germs as you clean. I love the peace of mind that this non-toxic cleaner offers me as a mother, and as a pet owner. I feel good knowing that I don’t have to keep a lock on my cleaner cabinet 24/7 – and that no one will be licking or absorbing any cleaning chemicals after use.

Next, add 1 capful of the Thieves Household Cleaner concentrate to the water. (using a funnel makes this easier)
