Did you know that the cleaners most of us use in our homes on a daily basis are a chemical cocktail of dangerous ingredients. Don’t let the “fresh breeze” smell trick you into thinking that you now have a “clean” home.
Ingredients like Phthalates are found in cleaners, deodorants, lotions, body sprays and plastic packaging and are banned in Europe! They are linked with birth defects, lowered sperm count (know of anyone having trouble conceiving?) as well as lung, liver and kidney cancer.
Fragrances are another dangerous ingredient in cleaners. They sound gentle enough right? Don’t let them fool you, fragrances are found in just about everything we put on our bodies and clean our homes with, often containing Toluene which is one of the top 5 allergens in the WORLD. What does Toluene do? It can cause loss of muscle control, brain damage, headaches, memory loss, and speech, hearing and vision problems just to name a few…do any of these symptoms sound like symptoms of diseases? Yep.
Let’s look at one more ingredient Propylene Glycol. It’s been linked to kidney damage, liver disease, dermatitis, and can damage cell membranes causing rashes, dry skin and surface damage.
This is just the damage a mere 3 ingredients can do. There are SO MANY MORE TOXIC ingredients in our cleaners that we are using on a daily basis without even batting an eyelash because the packaging looks pretty, they smell nice, and they promise to make our homes sparkling clean.
I’ve tried many homemade cleaners over the years and have come to the conclusion that while it’s fun and satisfying to make cleaners I’m also a practical person who likes to save time and energy whenever I can.
I finally found a natural cleaner that actually works like the dickens and smells amazing.
This scrubbing cleanser is my favorite cleaner I use now. Why do I love it?
- 100% plant and mineral based
- Non-toxic
- Organic & biodegradable ingredients
- Concentrated so you can dilute for different tasks
- Fights household gunk WITHOUT harming your health
- It smells AMAZING
1 bottle lasts a long time. I just use about 1/4 c. in a heavy duty clear spray bottle (I picked up from Wal-Mart) and fill the rest with water. Use a rag, paper towel, scrubber or sponge to clean almost anything.
- Sinks
- Countertops
- Toys
- Fridge
- Tubs
- Floors
- Toilets
- Dog/human pee & vomit on carpet
When I want a little bit of scrubbing action I just spray the Thieves Household Cleaner first, for instance when I’m cleaning the toilet or shower, then sprinkle some baking soda over top and scrub away with a brush or sponge. It is amazing! I’ve tested it out on many surfaces in my home but as the directions state always test a small spot first before cleaning the whole sha-bang!
More to come on how I specifically use the Thieves Cleaner around my home.
