\u00a0\u201cThieves\u201d sounds like it has nothing to do with cleaning. So\u00a0why did YL name a collection of natural cleaning products \u201cThieves\u201d?<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0What story lies behind this name that makes Thieves become what it is today, protecting millions of homes around the world? Let\u2019s uncover this legendary tale!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The story begins in 15th century France, during the time of the Black Plague. Legend tells of four thieves who managed to\u00a0rob plague victims without falling ill themselves<\/strong><\/span>. Their secret wasn\u2019t expert stealing skills but a special herbal blend. They\u00a0apply spices like clove, cinnamon, and rosemary to their bodies to create a natural protective barrier<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0against deadly germs. This ancient wisdom inspired the Thieves collections. Let Mary share this story with us!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our founder Gary Young brought this historical story into the modern world. He combined 5 pure essential oils of Lemon, Clove, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, and Rosemary<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0under strict extraction techniques and Seed to Seal\u00ae commitment to create this powerful\u00a0Thieves Essential Oil<\/a><\/span>. This formula is no longer just a legend, it is a\u00a0scientifically backed plant-based solution that offers strong cleaning and protection<\/strong><\/span>, continuing its mission to support health.<\/span><\/td>\n\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today, Thieves has evolved from an essential oil blend into a complete\u00a0collection<\/a>\u00a0covering household cleaning, personal care, and natural sanitizing<\/strong><\/span>. Cleaning products we use every day may conceal invisible pollutants and harmful toxins, or irritating chemicals. Long-term exposure to these ingredients can pose potential health risk, especially for infants, pets, or people with sensitive skin.\u00a0Formulated without harmful ingredients<\/strong><\/span>, Thieves offer you a safer solution with only naturally derived ingredients,\u00a0making your home a true haven<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Among all Thieves products,\u00a0Thieves Household Cleaner<\/a><\/span>\u00a0has been a favorite and trusted choice among families around the world.\u00a0Over 9.2 million bottles have sold worldwide<\/strong><\/span>, becoming a representative choice for low-tox living. SGS tests confirmed that when following the dilution ratios listed on label, it is\u00a0effective in killing 99.9% of Staphylococcus aureus within 30 minutes of contact<\/strong><\/span>. This proves that plant-based cleaners can be just as effective\u2014if not more\u2014than chemical ones.<\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/span>It is simple to use.\u00a0Just 1 capful of Thieves Household Cleaner and 2 cups of 250ml water<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0is all you need to clean everyday areas such as kitchen countertops, floors, and sinks. With 1 bottle, you can\u00a0make about 28 bottles of 500ml spray, averaging just HK$8 per bottle<\/strong><\/span>. Truly efficient, affordable, and sustainable!<\/span><\/p>\n
