I was recently sent some cleaning products to try out – they were Thieves cleaning concentrate and some living essential oils. I mixed some concentrate with water in a gorgeous glass bottle, and added a few drops of lemon oil.
I must be honest, when I first heard about cleaning your house with essential oils as opposed to chemicals, I was skeptical. However, while on lock-down, I decided to give them a try. The first thing I must comment on is that it feels a lot better cleaning with a clear glass spray bottle than a plastic bottle. The second thing is the scent, it’s lovely, fresh and citrusy. The Thieves cleaning range has a smell like fresh cloves, mixed with the subtle lemon scent, it was a real win for me.

The benefits of using this range are:

- Suited for virtually every surface in your home, including carpets, floors, counters, glass, walls, and more. I’ve used it in my oven and on my George Foreman too

I would repurchase this product. I was really impressed with how it cleaned and cut through fat and grease.
Would you try an essential oil based cleaning range over a chemical range?
