Are you interested in cleaning with essential oils?  You may already be familiar with using essential oils to alleviate stress or to create a welcoming environment.  But you also may have heard that your household cleaning products contain toxins that harm your health.

Essential oils get the job done and “smell clean”, not harsh!  In our office, we love Thieves® Household Cleaner and other essential oils by Young Living™.  They can be mixed with water and other household ingredients to make any type of all-natural cleaner you need.cleaning with essential oils
