I put three drops of our new Northern Lights Black Spruce and three drops of Purification oils on my filter and my car smells wonderful! I drive 300 miles a day so I literally live in my car!
I have had great success using Thieves on stained laundry items. Someone recently told me to try using Thieves in a foaming bottle. Using less Thieves by using the foaming bottle still works well and saves money.
Margaret - can you please tell me if you use the oil or the all purpose cleaner? And how much do you use? Do you put it directly on the laundry or in the entire load? Thank you!
I keep an old white sock (that lost its mate) in the laundry room. I put 3 to 6 drops of Purification oil on it and toss it in the dryer with the clothes. They come out smelling great, the laundry room smells great and it helps to keep my husbands uniforms fresh since they get a lot of hard use. And if the clothes are bad (sweaty or used hard) I will add Purification to the washer, too!
I've just started laundry so I'm gonna try this today! Awesome idea, thank you
For clothes that hit the laundry room extra-sweaty, I spray lightly with a mix of 4 drops Purification in 2 oz water before washing. They come out sweet and fresh!
This is a fantastic idea! Thank you for sharing :-)
I put baking soda and vinegar in the toilets and add about 5 drops of Purification and my toilets sparkle and the bathroom smells fresh and clean. Also, I keep Purification in the Home Diffuser in my guest bath and that helps keep it clean and fresh.
For the dryer - does it help with static?
For the washer - front load - in with the soap?
Hi Lynn, Adding essential oils to the dryer will not help with static, but they will help provide extra freshness for the laundry. Essential oils may be incorporated with a front load washer by adding them in with the soap. Thanks for your questions!
Another thing to do is to put a safety pin on a couple of the wool dryer balls or the odd sock and it eliminates static. I was amazed that it really works!!
Robin, do you put the soda and vinegar in the bowl or in the tank?
How much baking soda and vinegar? How long do you let it sit before scrubbing?
Hi Pearlis, I put the soda and vinegar in the bowl and let it sit with a few drops of Purification.
I would love one of these for my sons room and use the "think" oil. He struggles with learning!!!
Modern Mom Hack: I use a drop or two of Purification when washing my son's cloth diapers. The Purification takes all the dinginess out of them leaving them brighter, feeling softer and smelling fresh!
Christine - when/where do you add the drops of Purification to your wash,? I've tried once before but feel like the oils get lost in all that water.... Do you add it to your detergent or just directly into the washer? Thanks!!
Add the oil to the detergent after measuring, stir and pour in
I also use Purification and other oils around the house in many ways and I'm always glad for new tips. One thing I do as well is make a spray bottle of water and a blend of oils that aid in relaxing and spray them on our bed pillows and mattresses. Having a small spray of lavender and such in my purse is good for when I'm out in public and there is a foul smell or if they have recently painted/added new carpeting I have used oils to combat the strong odor.
I am excited to learn about the Thieves oil dish soap. I Want to try it for cleaning the kitchen
I put 5 drops of Purification and 1-2 of lemon in a small container of baking soda. One went in every room in the house-- definitely keeps everything smelling fresh! Also a drop of each of the above, right on the inside of the toilet paper roll. :-) one last thing I love Purification for is a couple drops on the paper filter of my vacuum cleaner...no more dusty smell when the exhaust air comes back out.
Thieves always leaves my home smelling fresh and clean.
