    • Hi Debbie, The recommended dilution for carpets is 100:1. The dilution ratios are located on the bottle label for your convenience. Thanks for stopping by with your question!

    • Hi Kimberley, For a DIY Room Spray, we suggest using 4 ounces (1/2 cup) water in a glass or stainless steel spray bottle of your choice. Thanks for stopping by with your question!

      • Does the spray bottle have to be glass or stainless? Is the reason for not using plastic due to possibly being toxic??

        • Hi Cara, 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. Therefore, we recommend using either glass or stainless steel bottles. Thanks for stopping by!

  • I have a question about the Theives wipes. My container had many wipes left in it, but it dried out. How do I refresh it. Can I just add some Theives Household cleaner and /or water to re-hydrate the remaining wipes?

    • Hi Roxanne, Sorry to hear that the wipes dried out! You can add 2 Tbsp. of purified water to the wipes and allow it to soak in to re-hydrate the wipes. Thanks for stopping by!
