Young Living hit the jackpot when they made and introduced this product. I have NEVER seen anything else work nearly as well and quickly in my life!
Now, I'll bet you're wondering, "what's up with the name Thieves!?" Here's the story...
THE HISTORY OF THIEVES ESSENTIAL OIL BLEND
During the Black Plague of 16th century, a small band of thieves were caught in the act and brought before the King, who forced them to divulge a most curious secret. The thieves had been entering the homes of plague victims and stripping the dead bodies of money, jewelry and anything else of value that could be found. Although the plague was highly contagious, not one of this morbid band of thieves ever contracted the dread plague even though their thefts had put them in daily contact with the dead bodies of plague victims. The King, eager to protect himself and the Royal Family, demanded to know how the thieves had avoided contracting the plague.
Soon enough, the truth came out. The thieves were all members of the same family - a family from a long line of Apothecaries. Because of their intimate knowledge of the healing arts, passed down from generation to generation, they were familiar with a combination of specific plant oils that, when rubbed on the body, would protect the body from contracting this most feared and deadly disease. The King forced the thieves to divulge the specific plant oils (essential oils) used, and the formula for extracting (distillation) them from the plants. With that vital information in hand, he was thereby able to protect himself and his family from the deadly plague.
The recipe for the "thieves oils" can still be found in the Royal English Archives to this day. What's more, this story is not all that unusual. In fact, it is widely known that many perfumers and tanners in 16th century England were also able to escape the Black Plague due to the fact that the powerful, sweet smelling plant oils (essential oils) used in the making of various perfumes and in the scenting of leather goods exhibit phenomenal antimicrobial properties.
History further reveals that virtually the entire town of Bucklersbury, England was spared from the plague, even while the residents of other towns in close proximity were dying in droves. How were the residents of Bucklersbury spared? Historians believe it was no fluke. This fortunate town was the center of the European lavender trade. Lavender is a plant the essential oil of which is widely used in making real perfume. More importantly, the oil of lavender has long been known to have powerful disease fighting properties as well.
What Young Living did was find the secret recipe and made the Thieves essential oil blend. They took the Thieves blend and mixed it with a nontoxic wetting agent. So what we have now is a cleaner that's not going to slowly poison us and our families and weaken our immune systems to the point of disease, illness and allergies while we're trying to keep our households clean and free of germs!
Hmmmm, if this blend of essential oils could protect people from the plague I can only imagine the possibilities of it protecting us in the future of dreaded illnesses. I personally believe that this product is very worthy of grabbing our attention and applying our knowledge.
It's information like this that makes me wonder, why in the world do people still buy inferior products from large companies who don't give a hoot about contaminating us and our wonderful environment. I believe that the Thieves Household Cleaner should be a staple in every home. Not only that, but you will have so much space in your cabinets when you get rid of all that other garbage!

1) Barbara's review of Thieves Household Cleaner
Young Living's new product, Thieves Household Cleaner, is quite amazing. Not only is it non-toxic, but it contains the powerful germ-fighting properties of Thieves oil, transforming cleaning into a healing activity!
I've received spectacular results on the grout in my kitchen tiles, stains on clothing, walls and surfaces and even in the oven. It seems to penetrate and dissolve grease and other dirt instantly. As you can see from the testimonials below, the uses are limited only by your imagination!
This product is very concentrated. Below you will find a "proportions chart" which you can cut out and tape onto the back of the Thieves Cleaner bottle. This chart gives you an idea, not only about the proportions to use of the cleaner to water, but also how economical it actually is. For example, for "medium" degreasing, the cost of Thieves Cleaner is only .64 / quart (32 oz.). For "heavy" degreasing the cost is only $1.27 / quart. As a comparison, I did an internet search. For 22 oz. bottles: Formula 409 costs $3.29, Lysol Disinfectant (yuk) costs $2.89. The natural, non-toxic brands are generally considerably more costly. And maybe you've noticed, like I have, that the natural cleaning products don't seem to have much of a punch.
As many of you know, the Young Living Thieves essential oil blend was tested at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah for its potent antimicrobial properties. Thieves was found to have a 99.96 percent kill rate against airborne bacteria. The oils in the blend are highly antiviral, antiseptic, antibacterial and anti-infectious. With winter and winter maladies quickly approaching, what better way to keep your house in order and smelling great, while keeping yourself healthy at the same time?! Fragrant regards, Barbara

I just used the new Thieves Cleaner in my steam cleaner...about a teaspoon in the soap dispenser...then filled it with water, and my house LOOKS and SMELLS GREAT! It worked GREAT on my carpet, better, in fact than the chemical soap that came with the steam cleaner, and now I have the added benefit of THIEVES in my carpet! *giggle!* I just had to share!

I am just as thrilled as Jessica about the Thieves Cleaner.I was given a sample and it worked on floors, carpet, stove, shower, etc. I cleaned all day and it tackled everything with amazing results. And then that night my hands were so soft which was amazing. I didn't wear gloves and usually the orange "???" product I used in the past would make my hands all tight and red, not Thieves. This is the best. Bonnie Rogers

I am sooo excited!!! I tried my new bottle of Thieves household cleaner.....oh my!!! Besides smelling so good, it cleaned my floor cleaner than it has been since I used a brillo pad on it! I could hardly believe my eyes when I sprayed the floor and wiped up the grime that hides back in the corner...it came up like it was dust! We live on a farm and always tracking dirt in onto the old linoleum, and even after rinsing the floor a couple of times dirt was still coming up out of the pits in the pattern.....my other soap never dissolved dirt so fast!!!! Then Tom left auto grease on my dish soap bottle again, I just sprayed it with the Thieves and it ran down the side....it instantly dissolved!!!
I expect to sell this one to everyone...what a blessing to people who are chemically sensitive!!! I can't wait to try it on the outside of my windows~ I will be experimenting on the bugs and tar on the car, and the grease on the tractor! I don't need any other cleaner! Sally

We've been waiting for a product like this from Young Living! Our first experience using this new household cleaner was to see if it would cut through grease on kitchen mini blinds. We were impressed! We've now used it in the dishwasher, on walls, countertops, toilet bowls, mirrors, windows, shower doors, and more! When our son came home last night he said, "Mom, you're still cleaning?" Cleaning has never been so fun and just think of the health benefits of inhaling Thieves while working. It just doesn't get any better! Linda & Merrill Dastrup

We are getting very positive results to the new 'household cleaner' YL just introduced. We are using this new product in our washing machine, doing our dishes in the sink. Can't wait to try it in our dishwasher at home. We are also using this new product in our holding tanks in the motor home to help clean them and hold down the odor. Sounds like what we are learning--it could very well be an all purpose cleaner. Try this product....you will like it. This product works! Rich and Shauna Dastrup

We have found that Thieves Household Cleaner makes a wonderful eye glass cleaner. Just one capful to two cups of water in a spray bottle and then a couple of sprits to each lens does the trick. Just wanted to share... Oiling along, Carol

It feels so good to be able to clean without the toxic fumes and ingredients from other household cleaning products, and it feels especially good when my daughter-in-law and I have used it to clean the rails of Adam's crib, and his high-chair tray, and the floors etc. Bravo, Gary, for this addition to the line!!
