The beginning of the year is a great time to start cleaning out your home of all the unwanted and unnecessary toxins.

We recommend first eliminating the cleaners under your sinks (countertop spray, window/mirror cleaner, toilet cleaner, furniture spray, etc) and replacing them with a nontoxic household cleaner that will get ALL the jobs done with only ONE simple bottle, for less than $1/bottle!

Sounds too good to be true? It’s not!

Thieves Household Cleaner is a plant-based, nontoxic cleaner that’s safe for your whole family…and it will replace all of your household cleaners – It works well on windows, countertops (yes, even marble and granite), toilets, mirrors, appliances (yep, stainless steel too), furniture (you guessed it…even wood), etc. ALL. THE. SURFACES.

This is our favorite option because it eliminates the toxins AND the clutter under your sink!!!

Alternatively, you can make a few different homemade recipes that will help to eliminate the toxins under your sink.

This will require a few different recipes for different areas of your home, but let’s keep it simple, moms – if you want to go this route instead of the Thieves Household Cleaner, start by making a surface spray that can clean many surfaces in your home. We will share alternative cleaner recipes for your windows, mirrors, stoves, ovens, etc. another time.
