Grade A Notes Current Issue

Thieves Household Cleaner is one of April’s Free Gifts with Purchase so I thought it would be good to talk about some ways to use this awesome product.

This powerful, plant-based solution is also insanely cost-effective. It is highly concentrated. You only need a capful of this all-purpose cleaner in about 16 oz of water. With this ratio, one small bottle will yield twenty-nine 16-oz spray bottles of safe, all-purpose cleaner. That means it’s under $1 for one spray bottle. Can’t beat that price!

Replace all harmful chemical cleaning products with one ALL-PURPOSE cleaner that does it all!
A great way to SAVE MONEY and support health at the same time.

Tips for using Thieves Household Cleaner
Thieves Household Cleaner is safe to use at a 15:1 dilution or higher for most non-porous surfaces. 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.

Most cleaning applications use 30 parts water to 1 part Thieves Household Cleaner—more concentrated dilutions may be necessary for some uses.
For best results, mix only the amount of cleaner that you will need to use right away.
Before using Thieves Household Cleaner, do a small spot test in an inconspicuous location, especially on wood, plastic, fabric, and granite.
Do not use this product on soft plastics or vinyl.
