No qualms about cleaning the oven with my 4 year old
On a snowy blizzard day, my son Anish and I set to work cleaning out the very gross oven. Here is how I cleaned the oven using non toxic products and had no qualms about engaging my 4 year old in cleaning it out.

Thieves Dish Soap and Thieves Dishwashing Detergent
Thieves Dish soap -It is very concentrated, so I tend to dilute it half with water. I will hop on live sometime today to show you what I do. But can I just say, it works really well.
Have you ever wondered why YL household products including the dish soap, shampoos, household cleaners produce no suds..
Nerd talk
There are a couple of good reasons for no suds: 1) essential oils change the surface tension of bubbles, making them more likely to pop, and 2) most bubbles you find in liquid soaps are a byproduct of SLS or Sodium Laureth Sulphate.
SLS is a known ocular irritant, dermal irritant, can be absorbed across the skin, and may also be associated with hair loss and aquatic toxicity. Therefore YL chose to exclude it from their products.
.
So, take a tip from me: skip the bubbles. They mean nothing for the cleansing power of the pr
oduct.
Dishwasher Detergent – Honestly, it is going to require some getting used to. You have to scrub the dishes a little bit before putting it in the dishwasher. My hubs is not happy with it. But I refuse to compromise on residue, so we continue to bicker about it. I just take the extra time to scrub it and after I played with it a bit, it is much better
Fabric Softeners
Do you use fabric softeners? If I gave you a simple recipe, will you promise to throw yours out? Guys, I can’t stress the importance of ditching Dryer Sheets and Fabric Softeners – so full of endocrine disruptors. Please protect your and your kids hormones
Use wool balls with a few drops of your favorite EO and try this recipe for fabric softeners.
My EO choices – Lavender, Lemon, Purification, Thieves, Eucalyptus Radiata, Stress Away
Shower Cleaning Recipe
Does your shower get water mold or mildew? Who is going to be brave to take a before and after photo. Every person who takes a before and after picture and posts in this thread will get a SURPRISE from me.
If you don’t have Thieves Household Cleaner – please get it. 1 capful is all it takes for a FULL 16 oz spray bottle. It is a big money saver
, cleans well
and it completely NON TOXIC.
