One of the first essential oils that I tried other than lavender essential oil, was Thieves oil. I had read the history behind Thieves oil and was fascinated.
Many stories talk about how the original thieves oil was created during the plague. It was thought to protect thieves from getting sick while they robbed the victims of the plague. The oils had protective qualities that kept people healthy despite exposure to illness.
I love using Young Living Thieves Oil. Between the smell and the benefits, it is a favorite of mine!

That is all! I mix this together in a glass spray bottle and I am ready to go.
This stores well, smells great, and lasts a long time.
WOW!!! This blend seems simple enough. I have heard a lot about thieves, but haven’t jumped on this bandwagon yet. Looks like I am going to have to try it. Thanks for your advice.
I enjoy using essential oils in my home for cleaning – the place smells so fresh and clean. Will have to try this DIY cleaner soon!
I’d love to try this! I’m a big fan of making my own cleaners. There are so many harsh chemicals in the storebought cleaners.
Sounds like a great way to reducing waste since you will only need a little amount of the cleaner vs water you won’t be replacing the bottle all the time. I will have to try this cleaner!
Nice one. I like the name ‘Thieves’ hahaha. Is this what the robbers use to clean their finger prints? hahaha.
This is cool, love it when making cleaners at home and being creative. I would love to try this one.
Ooohhhh…it’s my first time hearing of this oil. It will be good to test out and clean with.
The way you showcase its versatility has me thinking it’s not just a cleaner; it’s a superhero for every corner of the house. Thanks for the lowdown on this cleaning gem!
I love using essential oils and one of my faves was Thieves as well.
I enjoy the scent of Thieves Oil, which I was first introduced to at my chiropractor’s office. As a cleaner, I should look into this idea. SO thanks!!!
Oh! I didn’t realize you could make a cleaner out of Thieves. I need to try this!
Seems like a simple enough mixture. Maybe I’ll check it out soon.
I’m a big fan of making homemade cleaners. Mass produced cleaners are full of chemicals, and they’re way too hard on my asthma.
Looks easy enough to put together! I like the idea of reusing bottles and creating my own cleaner.
Great information on how to make Thieves household cleaner. I love using essential oils at my home and DIY supplies.
I never heard about Thieves, but now I’m curious about this brand. I love cleaners with a lemon scent. Thank you for idea.
Thieves oil is supposed to be great and have really good properties for boosting the immune system and more. The properties would also work incredibly well for cleaning plus your home must smell amazing after!!!
I just got done making mine up yesterday! I swear by DIY household cleaning products. Not just because regular products can be so expensive, but because they are far better for both us and those who live in our home!
