“Thieves Clean” for a Sparkling Bathroom

Posted on January 31st, 2014 | 11 comments

Harmful chemicals are too often left on household surfaces in the name of cleaning. Luckily, we have an entire line of Thieves® products formulated with all-natural ingredients that easily replace the traditional chemical clean with a healthy and effective Thieves clean.

This week we are tackling the bathroom—a warm, humid room where germs can thrive. This two-part series will offer a total of six steps that will have your bathrooms Thieves clean in no time.

Let’s get started with the first three steps:

STEP 1: LIGHT FIXTURES, FANS, VENTS, MIRRORS, GARBAGE CAN

Thieves Basic Cleaner Recipe

Mix 1 capful of Thieves Household Cleaner with 2-3 cups of water. Put in a spray bottle clearly marked “Thieves Basic Cleaner.”

Optional Light Fixtures, Fans, Vents, Mirrors Recipe

Mix 1 capful of Thieves Household Cleaner, 5 drops of Lemon essential oil, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, and 3 cups of water. Put in a spray bottle clearly marked “Thieves, Lemon, and Vinegar Solution.”

Checklist

Remove all cobwebs and thoroughly dust ceiling, corners, fans, vents, and light fixtures.

Run a cleaning brush around baseboards and door jams.

Sweep up all dust and debris.

Remove light fixture bowls and clean with either cleaning recipe. Soak if needed.

Spray and wipe off fans and vents with either cleaning recipe.

Replace burned-out bulbs and light fixture bowls.

Spray garbage can or let it soak before wiping clean.

Spray and clean mirrors.

Hint: Place 5 drops of Thieves essential oil on a cotton round and place in your garbage can underneath the liner to keep your garbage can smelling clean.

STEP 2: SINK, COUNTERTOPS, BACKSPLASH, CABINET FRONTS

Thieves Basic Cleaner Plus Baking Soda

Thieves Cabinet-Front Recipe

Mix 1 capful of Thieves Household Cleaner, 10 drops of Citrus Fresh™ essential oil blend, and
1 cup olive oil. Put in a spray bottle and clearly mark as “Thieves Cabinet-Front Cleaner.”

Checklist

Remove everything off of countertops.

Spray sink, countertops, and backsplash with the basic cleaner. Sprinkle approximately ¼ cup baking soda in the sink and any other place you would like more scrubbing action; clean with the basic cleaner.

Wipe down the cabinet fronts with the cabinet-front recipe.

Clean cabinet handles and pulls with Thieves Spray.

Hint: Keep a package of Thieves Wipes on the bathroom counter to wipe down the sink and countertops in between your deep cleanings. We recommend doing this every day.

STEP 3: TOILET

Optional Thieves Toilet Bowl Cleaner

2 drops of Thieves essential oil blend and ¼ cup baking soda

Checklist:

Pour approximately ¼ cup of baking soda and 2 drops of Thieves essential oil blend directly into the toilet bowl. Stir with a toilet brush and let sit for a couple of minutes before cleaning.

Remove toilet seat if necessary and replace once the entire toilet is cleaned.

Spray and clean around the toilet seat and rim with the basic cleaner.

Thoroughly clean the toilet inside and out, especially around the outside bowl.

Use Thieves Spray to clean the toilet knob.

Hint: When replacing toilet paper, dab 3-5 drops of Thieves essential oil blend on the inside of the cardboard roll (not on the paper).
