LAUNDRY ROOM FAVORITES

  • Thieves Laundry Soap
  • Thieves Dish Soap (the best spot stain treatment!)
  • Wool Dryer Balls
  • Purification, Lemongrass, Lemon, and Eucalyptus oils

Did you know that conventional laundry soap is a leading cause of skin allergies and irritation - especially in children? We don't often think about it, but the residues left on clothes and linens from conventional cleaners sit on our skin, often causing low-level irritation. Not to mention the chemical load that leaves over time! Even the ‘green' options may contain hidden sulfates, dyes and fragrance, among other things!

Not to mention all the greenwashing that goes on when it comes to cleaning and laundry products. Almost all the conventional companies throw catch phrases or use certain packaging to trick us into thinking we are purchasing a natural product, when in reality, what we are buying isn't natural at all!

Enter the Thieves home line. No phthalates, parabens, bleach, formaldehyde, or toxic chemicals in these products - just the power of plants! Sign me up!

THIEVES LAUNDRY SOAP Thieves Laundry Soap is one of our laundry room must haves. Safe, effective, eco-friendly and economical cleaning with the power of plants? Yes, please!

The Thieves Laundry Soap from Young Living gently and naturally washes your clothes, cleaning them without leaving behind any harsh chemicals or residues. Fabrics come out of the washer clean and with a pleasant citrus aroma, thanks to a 100% pure blend of Thieves, Jade Lemon, and Bergamot essential oils!

This laundry soap also has no optical brighteners that just make clothes look clean. By reflecting blue light, optical brighteners give the illusion of whiter-looking fabrics. The design of these chemicals is to absorb directly into fabrics and remain on clothes well after washing. Thieves Laundry Soap contains none of these synthetic chemicals and leaves no synthetic residue. It's truly the best option for the laundry room!

THIEVES DISH SOAP While we love the Thieves Dish Soap for our dishes, it is a mainstay in our laundry routine as well! You can use this soap to spot treat stains directly on clothes, or you can make a spray or roller with equal parts Thieves Dish Soap and Thieves Household Cleaner.

To use on stains, apply to the area and use a small laundry brush to gently scrub the area for best results. Then wash as usual!

WOOL DRYER BALLS Ditch the dryer sheets and grab a set of wool dryer balls and your favorite oils for one of the simplest natural home swaps you can make. Not only do you ditch the chemicals, but the wool dryer balls are eco-friendly and reusable.

To use, simply add a few drops of your favorite oil to each dryer ball, throw them in the dryer, and turn it on for a couple minutes before adding your clothes. Refresh the oils after a few uses or whenever you want! Some of our favorite oils to use are Lemongrass, Eucalyptus, Peppermint, and Lemon.

ESSENTIAL OILS While Purification, Lemon, and Lemongrass are crowd favorites, you can use any of your favorite oils to give your laundry a boost and to make your clothes and linens smell amazing! You can use Lemon or Purification to give your laundry soap a little boost for really tough loads or to give a forgotten load of laundry a refresh and rinse.

No matter which of these you choose to start with, you can kick a ton of chemicals with this laundry room clean up!
