One day, as I was getting ready for a dinner party, I had an eye-widening-jaw-dropping moment. I was doing the usual last-minute cleaning and wiping down the laminate floors before my guests arrived. The floors were looking beautiful and I was loving it! Until my dog came into the room and walked right through the just-sprayed area. I was upset! I am not such a clean freak that a few paw prints would freak me out. What was upsetting was how she proceeded to lay on her dog bed and lick the bottom of her paws. She licked the cleaning solution off her paws. I honestly was horrified. My exact thoughts were “Why don’t I just pour this cleaning solution in her water? Because it would have the same results”.
I looked at the ingredients of the bottle and didn’t understand what I was putting all over my floors. The floors that my puppies (and I) walk barefoot on a daily basis. The floors that my dogs eat off of and, occasionally, lick. I needed to protect my puppies and my family. It also made me think about all the family and friends who have babies that crawl all over the floors. What were we doing to our own children? Something had to change.
Thankfully I had several friends and family who were already using Thieves cleaner. AND I had just received a free bottle of it in that month’s promos!!!
Thieves is a powerful blend of rosemary, cinnamon, lemon, clove and eucalyptus oil. This blend was inspired by the legend of four 15th-century French thieves who formulated a special aromatic combination composed of clove, rosemary, and other botanicals while robbing the dead and dying. And now the Thieves line is one of Young Living’s most popular products.
The best part of this cleaner is how concentrated it is. Just add 2 capfuls of cleaner to a 16oz bottle of water. One bottle of cleaner lasts me for several months. I use it on almost every surface in my house. Which means I am saving tons of money from not having to buy several different cleaners just for one room!
