5 Essential Household cleaning Recipes

Sounds silly to say it, but I have tried so many ways of cleaning without toxins and I find you have really got to get the formula right in order for them to work. Maddie has got it just right!

Why toxin free, and why essential oils?

By switching your cleaning products to toxin free, chemical free all natural you are reducing your toxic load. Toxic load is determined by the amount of toxins found in our bodies. Today, we are ingesting a lot more toxins that our poor liver can detoxify. This means we experience inflammation, chronic conditions, IBS, leaky gut, brain fog and so much more. So I guess my question to you is why not toxin free?

In my recent blog post I shared all about inflammation and practical ways to reduce it. These cleaning recipes are the first step to reducing toxins and inflammation in your home, body and support all of your family too! Check out my free resource for reducing inflammation in your home!

Essential Oils = Liquid Gold for household cleaning recipes

Essential oils, when properly sourced can be liquid gold for cleaning, healing, stress and even cooking. I love using essential oils in my home and to support my family. Young Living Essential provide a Seed to Seal promise meaning not only are they grow ethically, they are grown pesticide free and produced to the highest quality.

Buying cheap essential oils just doesn’t work. The power is in concentration of the oil. Many of the oils we buy from the grocery store are manufactured with synthetics, fragrances and other fillers. So I guess what’s the point if you are replacing something harmful with something else harmful? Maddie shares so much more knowledge about the power of high quality essential oils over at Our Natural Being. Check our her page to learn more valuable essential oil recipes and tips!!

Thieves Essential Oil blend is an absolute power house for cleaning as well as boosting our immune system. It is a versatile blend that can be used across so many recipes. Young Living have developed a specific range that features Theives in laundry soap, all purpose cleaners, vegetable soak and more.

If we can clean our floors and vegetables with the same ingredients I’m pretty sure that is liquid gold!

5 Essential HOusehold Cleaning Recipes

1. Thieves Multipurpose Cleaner

As the name suggest this multipurpose cleaner is certainly multipurpose. Use this cleaner to wipe down pretty much any surface. Spray on your bench tops after cooking. Wipe down that grimy high chair. Doubles as a spray and wipe so cleaning the surfaces in your bathroom, laundry, outdoor space.

1. All purpose spray: 1 capful in 500ml glass spray bottle.
2. Mirror spray: 1/2 capful to 500 ml
3. Mopping: 1/4 capful in hot water. Optional: add essential oil’s of choice.
4. Fruit & veg wash: 1/4 capful in hot water.

Use in your stain spray, as a jewellery cleaner and so so much more! 

2. Mould away spray

The perfect tool for your shower or anywhere you find mould. Simply spray and let sit before wiping clean with thieves spray and wipe. Some people like to spray after cleaning shower as well to help prevent mould from reappearing. This recipe works best after multiple uses on the same region to prevent mould re-growth!

Mould Away Spray is as easy as:

1. 3-5 drops oregano oil in glass spray bottle. 
2. Top with water.

3. Chemical free gumption Paste

Smells sooooo good and really helps clean the grout in my shower, along with all my sinks, oven and stove top. Seriously the best! I find everything comes up so clean, and shiny after using gumption. It is so handy for sticky food on pans too!

Here how to make it:

1. Mix bicarb & white vinegar to make a paste. 
2. Add 10-20 drops lemon oil. Allow to sit for an hour. 

4. Stain spray

Think dirty clothes, fabric couches and upholstery!

1.  1 capful thieves household cleaner
2.  Tbsp of bicarb 
3. 20 drops lemon EO
4. Drop of concentrated dish soap
5. Dash of white vinegar. 
6. Topped with water. 

5. Laundry booster

The ultimate pair to our thieves laundry liquid. Add a tablespoon to your white or heavily soiled loads to help give it a kick! Looking for a powerhouse for those pumpkin staines or even cloth nappies!

1. 1&3/4 cup Epsom salts
2. 3/4 cup bicarb 
3. 20 drops essential oil. I use lemon (white power) and thieves (immune boosting & smells like cinnamon) oil.
