Clean Clothes, Clear Energy: My Journey into Conscious Cleaning
Listen to me! I’m the LAST person you would have thought would ever care or implement non-toxic cleaners into my home. Especially when it came to laundry. Years ago I PROUDLY and BOLDLY stated on my stories that while I was eliminating toxins from my life slowly, you could rip my Tide and laundry scent beads from my cold, dead hands.
Look at me now.
I began using essential oils and Young Living to deepen my spiritual practices, NOT to better my health and wellness. But the more that I was exposed to the importance of how these oils are treated (and how so many oils on the market contain chemicals and fragrances that are harmful), I also began to hear the same about other products that I was regularly using. Soon, I began switching out this for that. Candles for diffusing. Windex for Thieves. Bath and Body Works for the shower gel base from YL (which I can scent myself with oils of my choice).
And here I am today to show you that I may be JUST LIKE YOU when it comes to being kinda clean, kinda toxic. I want to show you the importance of being mindful of what you’re using in your home and around your families, the health issues you could be avoiding, and the spiritual aspect of it all.
PLUS, I’ll share ways to make this all affordable (because switching to a cleaner lifestyle shouldn’t cause you financial stress).
And before we really get into it, I want you to remember this: Small changes make BIG differences in your body. Every small step that you take allows your body to recalibrate and move back into the state that it was meant to thrive in. Your body is not your enemy. Your body WANTS to work for you. And these are simple ways that we can help it do that.
Spiritual Effects of Harsh Chemical Cleaners
While mainstream science doesn't always speak to this, many holistic and spiritual wellness spaces believe:
Harsh synthetic chemicals can dull or disrupt the energetic field of a space, making it feel heavy or chaotic.
Strong, artificial fragrances interfere with your sensory intuition and block subtle energetic cues.
Using products made in harmful, exploitative systems can create subconscious dissonance, disrupting your intentions of peace and sacredness.
Spiritual Benefits of Plant-Based, Regeneratively Grown Cleaners
If your home is an extension of your inner world, then using consciously created cleaners can offer:
Energetic Clarity — Natural ingredients like citrus and thyme are believed to clear stagnant energy.
Ritual + Intention — Cleaning becomes a cleansing ritual rather than just a task.
Alignment with Nature — Regenerative ingredients link your home to the rhythm of the Earth.
Healing Through Scent — Botanicals support grounding, emotional clarity, and spiritual connection.
Spiritual Integrity — Choosing aligned products fosters inner and outer congruence.
This mindset aligns with practices from Ayurveda to feng shui, where your environment reflects your energy field.
What’s in Thieves Laundry Detergent
Young Living’s Thieves Laundry Detergent is plant-based and powered by essential oils:
Thieves blend: Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Radiata, Rosemary
Natural surfactants and enzymes: Derived from coconut and sugar
Spiritual Significance of the Oils:
Clove: Protective and energizing; cuts through negative energy
Lemon: Uplifting and purifying; clears stagnant vibes
Cinnamon Bark: Invokes vitality and supports focused intention
Eucalyptus Radiata: Opens energetic channels
Rosemary: Clarity, remembrance, and protection
Together, they offer a spiritually aligned clean that supports both the physical and energetic bodies.
Health & Hormonal Risks of Conventional Detergents
Let’s keep it simple. Most conventional laundry detergents are loaded with artificial fragrances, preservatives, and chemicals that can:
Disrupt hormones and fertility in both women and men
Contain ingredients linked to cancer (like 1,4-dioxane, formaldehyde, and phthalates)
Irritate skin, trigger rashes, or cause respiratory issues (especially in babies and kids)
Burden your immune system and affect sleep quality
If it lingers on your sheets, towels, and clothes, it lingers in your system too—especially for the most sensitive in your home. Detoxing your laundry is a powerful first step toward a healthier body and energy field.
