3 EASY DIY CLEANER RECIPES

EASY DIY CLEANER

These 3 easy recipes will help you get started on switching to natural cleaning. They are each based on using Thieves Household Cleaner, which you can order through The Oil House in 426ml or a whopping 1.8L bottle. As this is a concentrate, it goes a LONG way. Wonderful to have in the cupboard as a bulk natural cleaner. Thieves is a unique blend of essential oils that have exceptional cleaning properties, even though they may be known for their other benefits!
​
CLOVE: This essential oil contains the constituent eugenol, which dentists have used to numb gums in the past. It's warm scent creates a cosy atmosphere.
​
CINNAMON BARK: Said to unlock feelings of abundance, cinnamon is a favourite of mine, especially ontop a hot fresh donut with sugar! 

ROSEMARY: Promoting feelings of clarity and an energising environment, Rosemary is a strongly scented herb, with it's familiar aroma.

If you dont have Thieves Household Cleaner, you could use substitutes. You can use these recipes as a guide. Thieves Oil blend, with  your 'run of the mill' liquid castile soap should work as a close second. As Thieves is made up of essential oils of cloves, cinnamon, lemon, and rosemary, you could always mix up your own blend if you have these oils, it just won't be the same as the real deal!  Just remember to dilute heavily with the castile soap. I highly recommend just giving the Thieves Household Cleaner a try. You won't regret having plenty of natural cleaner on hand for making your own DIY products.
