Notes

Top 12 Household Uses for Thieves Essential Oil

Diffusing

Depending on the brand of diffuser you own will depend on how much to use. A general guide is around 10-15 drops of Thieves and diffuses for 30 minutes around 3 times a day. This helps purify air, eliminate germs and boosts immunity.

All-Purpose Spray

Add 1 drop of Thieves to each 1/2 ounce of water in a glass spray bottle. Shake well for each use, and use to clean counters, tables, etc. It acts like a regular all-purpose spray.

Cleaning Toys

You can add a few drops of essential oils into the washer or even the sink when you hand wash toys. This is from plastic toys to stuffed animals. This is great to do when your kiddos are sick.

Floor Cleaner

When you go to mop the floor, add around 10 drops into half a bucket of water, and use that instead of a mop cleaner.

Freshen Room

I use the all-purpose homemade cleaner and spray on the furniture, curtains, and even beds to help freshen up rooms and disinfect. Don’t put oil directly on furniture or fabrics of course.

Laundry

You can add 4-5 drops in each load of laundry to help really clean and deodorize your clothing. This works wonderfully with bedding, make sure to use regular or homemade laundry soap as well.

A Sore Throat

Add 2 drops to around 2 tablespoons of water and gargle if you have a sore throat. Do this a few times throughout the day. Spit out when finished. (Do NOT ingest!)

Sick

If you feel a stuffy nose, cough or fever coming on, rub some oil on your feet and along your spine, mixed with a carrier oil (like sweet almond, jojoba, coconut or olive oil), to help pull out those germs from your body.

Headache Relief

Put a drop of thieves on your thumb and place it on the roof of your mouth. This will help relieve a headache fast. It can burn and tingle a little if you are sensitive use a carrier oil with it.

Immune Support

Take a diluted thieves oil, with a carrier oil and apply to bottoms of your feet. Do this once in morning and once at night to help boost your immunity. Great for cold and flu season.

Dishwasher

If you have a dishwasher add a few drops into the soap dispenser before you start it, to help deodorize and clean your dishes.

Cell Phone

Our phones get SO dirty, spray the all-purpose spray on a cloth and wipe down your entire phone. Helps clean and disinfect.
