Hi Elizabeth, We recommend to always follow the dilution ratios listed on the Thieves cleaner label. For most cleaning applications, it is recommended to use 30 parts water to 1 part cleaner. As long as label directions are followed, it should be safe and effective for use around children. Thanks for stopping by!
Hi Laara! The plastic used in packaging our products including the sprays and Thieves® Household Cleaner is high-end plastics that are formulated to be able to hold the essential oils and retain safety. In addition, the essential oils included in the products are not potent enough to damage the plastic packaging. Please be assured, we strive to use the best products and packaging based on the products and their use. Great question, and thanks for stopping by!
Hi Brenda! The main difference is in the applied use of the blend of Thieves® oil. Ensure that you are not diffusing the Thieves® Household Cleaner and follow all usage instructions on all product and bottle labels. See more usage instructions for our Thieves Essential Oil here. Thanks for stopping by!
Hi Amanda! Any glass bottle is safe to use, as long as it is not left in the sun for long periods of time. The main reason for amber glass, is that it protects the constituents in the oils from harmful UV rays, which can break down the constituents in essential oils. Thanks for stopping by!
I purchased glass spray bottles to use for my Thieves cleaner. The spray tube is still plastic though. Can I leave it in the bottle?
Hi Rene, It would be fine to store the mixture in the cleaner, however, we recommend that any plastic parts not be in contact for more than a few days due to the essential oils. We recommend storing the mixture in the glass container and connecting the sprayer as needed. Thanks for stopping by!
I use this cleaner around my child all the time. I do have someone claiming that it is unsafe though, how am I supposed to respond?
Hi Katie, Thieves Household Cleaner is safe around adults, pets and children. If you have further concerns, we recommend reviewing the product with your child's pediatrician for targeted advice. Thanks for stopping by!
"Can this be used to clean surfaces my infant eats off of (I.e. High chair trays, etc)?"
Hi Jay, surfaces can be cleansed with this product which may come into contact with food, but which will not saturate the food. You can use this product on your high chair tray, but may want to rinse off after. Thanks for stopping by!

Should Thieves oil and/or cleaning products be mixed in a glass bottle or is plastic okay?
Hello Sarah, We do not recommend storing undiluted essential oils in plastic containers. Using essential oils and essential oil products safely in conjunction with plastic containers depends highly on the type of plastic, the concentration of essential oils, and the amount of time the oils are stored in the container or the amount of time the essential oils come in contact with the plastic parts. We feel that it is better to avoid adding essential oils to plastic contains whenever possible. Using a PETE or PP plastic bottle can help, but we recommend switching to glass or stainless steel if you would like to use the same bottle for extended periods of time. Thanks for stopping by!
