doTERRA Clean Range

doTERRA has released a cleaning range of products and we have had lots of questions about it, so here’s all you need to know.

doTERRA’s Cleaning Range is another range of products we have been hoping they would release. Not only has it been released, but they’re all here to stay… permanently!

We love to DIY our cleaning products so that we can keep our homes as tox-free as possible, and whilst DIY cleaning products only take a few minutes to make, we still have these products because they are part of our toolkit to make our lives easier.

It is a super clean ingredient range and, as we have said many times before, we would NEVER promote a product or align with a company we didn’t wholeheartedly believe in.

So… what’s in the range?

1. Liquid Laundry Detergent
2. Powdered Laundry Detergent
3. Multi-Purpose Surface Spray
4. Dishwashing Liquid

So, let’s take a deep dive into each one…

Wholesale Price: $16.00
Cost Per Load: $0.54 (approx.)

doTERRA LIQUID LAUNDRY DETERGENT

Lemon Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, and Cinnamon (1 litre)

1. Australian made
2. No synthetic preservatives
3. No artificial fragrances
4. No phosphates or ammonia
5. Naturally antibacterial and antiseptic
6. 100% recyclable packaging
7. Suitable for front and top loaders
8. Gentle on clothes

These cleaning products are Australian-made using essential oils sourced from Australia such as Lemon Eucalyptus and Tea Tree.

This is the perfect product for those who want to low-tox their home but don’t want to DIY. Or for those, like us, who like the best of both worlds.

Whilst the ingredients make it gentle on clothes, it definitely still cleans your clothes well and leaves them smelling divine!

We are finding multiple ways to use the products in the cleaning range which not just for their intended purpose. We haven’t found any other uses for this just yet, but will update this post once we have.

So… stay tuned!

This powder has THREE ingredients, other than oils – Sodium Percarbonate, Sodium Carbonate, Sodium Bicarbonate.

Three that is it!!!

That is unheard of in any other low tox laundry powder. Nothing in the supermarket is this ‘clean’, so unless you are DIYing then this is literally the next best thing.

Because it only has three ingredients (other than oils) it can be used in so many other ways around the house…

Here are a few:

👉🏻 Turn the laundry powder into dishwasher powder

Other than essential oils, there are only three ingredients in this laundry powder – and all three of them are powerful cleaning agents.

Sodium Percarbonate, Sodium Carbonate, Sodium Bicarbonate.

To make dishwasher powder, in a large mixing bowl add:
2 cups laundry powder
1 cup citric acid
1 cup finely ground salt

Carefully mix it all together and add a teaspoon or two to each dishwasher load.

There is no need to add any essential oils, but if you wanted to, add a few drops of lemon to each load.

Using white vinegar in your rinse aid section also helps to give that extra shine to glasses and plates, plus it gives everything an extra rinse clean to make sure that there is no residue.

👉🏻 Use it as a laundry soaker

Have you looked at the main ingredients in most soakers available – Napisan for example… the reason they use terms like Oxi Action is because the key ingredient is sodium percarbonate (you won’t know the other ingredients as they are not listed, they are most likely to be fillers of some kind and fragrances, neither of which are good for you or the environment).

However, the new doTERRA Clean Laundry Powder lists all the ingredients. Here is a breakdown of the powders for you.

• Sodium Percarbonate is a powder that releases hydrogen peroxide and soda ash. It is 100% active – making it a very powerful cleaner, it is also an effective sanitiser and it helps to whiten whites. It works by releasing oxygen once it is exposed to water. This release of oxygen lifts stains and dirt off whatever you’re cleaning.
• Sodium Carbonate (washing soda) is a key ingredient in many laundry powders. It easily removes dirt, grease, and grime and helps to soften fabrics.
• Sodium Bicarbonate (bicarb soda) is found in many food recipes, but it is also amazing for deodorizing and cleaning, perfect for use in the laundry and around the house.

To use as a laundry soaker:
Add 1/3 cup of powder into 5 litres of water, stir to combine, and dissolve the powder. Add clothes and ensure everything is under the water level, add more water if needed.

If your fabrics allow, use hot water as this works the best – perfect for soaking nappies or reusable sanitary items, as well as tea towels and face washers.

Be careful with darker colours and always refer to your washing instructions.

👉🏻 Other hints, tips, and hacks to use the laundry powder around the house…

Given the powerful cleaning agents in the laundry powder, along with the fact it is earth-friendly, antibacterial, and antiseptic, it has no phosphates, ammonia, synthetic colours, fragrances, or preservatives, it makes sense that you can use it in many areas around the house.

• Add a sprinkle into the toilet bowl and give a little scrub to remove hard water stains.
• Sprinkle some around the inside of the bathtub or shower. Use a damp rag or soft scrubbing brush to wash away any grease, grime, or soap scum. Rinse off well with warm water and wipe dry.
• Use a small scoop in hot water to freshen up dishcloths, toilet brushes, or mops.
• Freshen drains – add a small scoop down the drain then follow with boiling hot water.

*Safety –  as always, with any cleaning products – don’t ingest it, don’t eat it, and keep it out of reach of children. If you are sensitive to any of these ingredients then wear gloves or other protective wear as you deem necessary.

You may have experienced other low-tox dishwashing liquids in the past where there are barely any bubbles or bubbles that don’t last very long.

This dishwashing liquid doesn’t contain any nasty ingredients AND it also has lots of bubbles that last the entire wash.

Low-tox doesn’t get any easier!

👉🏻 Turn the dishwashing liquid into a toilet cleaner

When the bottle is almost empty, fill it up with filtered water and then squirt it around the toilet bowl and clean your toilet.

👉🏻 Turn the dishwashing liquid into another cleaning spray

Add a teaspoon to a spray bottle and top with filtered water (and some good cleaning essential oils if you have them) and use to clean:

• Shower
• Toilet
• Bath
• Benches

👉🏻 Turn the dishwashing liquid into a stain remover

Got clothes with oil stains you’re struggling to remove?

Squirt a little of the dishwashing liquid onto the stain and, using a soft-headed toothbrush, give the stain a little scrub and let sit for a few hours before you add it to your washing load*.

*Be sure to patch test first in an inconspicuous area as some fabrics may be more sensitive than others.
