How should I use these products once I get them?
FIRST: Professional Mold Sampling
Have an environmental professional, an engineer, an industrial hygienist, or
an indoor air quality specialist with proper credentials, equipment, and
experience in doing mold sampling to come in, sample, and find out what
kind of mold you have and at what levels.
SECOND: Diffuse the Thieves Oil Blend
After Sampling is completed, the next step is to diffuse the Thieves oil blend continuously
(non-stop) for a minimum of 24 hours in the room or rooms where you have mold. Determining
how long to diffuse is related to how serious the mold infestation.

FAQ’s
Question: How many bottles of the essential oil blend are required in order to be able
to diffuse continuously for 24 hours or longer?
Answer: Generally, when using the recommended diffuser, one 15 ml bottle of the
essential oil blend will last between 2 and 3 days if you are diffusing continuously.
The rate of diffusion depends on many things, including the size of the diffuser’s pump
(3.5 watts is recommended), as well as atmospheric conditions.
Question: How large a space does one of the recommended diffusers and one 15 ml
bottle of the essential oil blend cover?
Answer: One 15 ml bottle of the Thieves essential oil blend and one diffuser,
using the oil blend and diffuser we recommend (3.5 watts), is sufficient for a room
that is up to 1,000 sq ft. in size.
If you have several rooms that you wish to address, you may either acquire additional diffusers
and bottles of essential oil, or you may simply diffuse in one room and then move the diffuser
to another room. Moving the diffuser from room to room will save you money, however, it may
increase the amount of time that mold persists in your space.
Question: How do we keep mold from developing if we do not currently have a mold problem?
Answer: To prevent mold from developing in a space, diffuse the Thieves essential oil
blend (using the recommended cold-air diffuser) for 15 minutes every 3 hours on a daily basis,
or you may instead diffuse the Thieves essential oil blend once a week, continuously for 8 hours (non-stop).
Question: If we have successfully remediated mold, how do we prevent the mold from returning?
Answer: After mold remediation efforts are complete, we recommend diffusing the oil blend
for 15 minutes every 3 hours, or you may instead diffuse the oil blend for 8 hours, non-stop,
once a week as a preventative measure.
Question: Can people be present in a room the entire time you are
diffusing or should they stay in another room?
Answer: Yes, the blend of oils is non-toxic. However, due to the presence of
Cinnamon and Clove in the essential oil blend, it is recommended that you limit each
exposure to between 10 and 30 minutes and no more than 3 times daily until the individual
effects of diffusing are determined. Individuals have different body types, different blood
types, different blood chemistry, different sensitivities.
Therefore, it is better to err on the side of caution.
In most circumstances, when diffusing for prevention (i.e. when diffusing for no more than
15 to 30 minutes at a time) people, children and pets may be present.
When diffusing continuously for 24 hours or more, it is strongly recommend that the room or
rooms where you are diffusing be closed and sealed and that people, children and pets not
be present in the room.
This will facilitate maximum penetration and absorption of the Thieves essential oil blend
into the mold and the porous materials in the room, recommended that you limit each exposure
to between 10 and 30 minutes and no more than 3 times daily until the individual effects of
diffusing are determined.

providing maximum benefit.
Question: Do you suggest wiping down the area where mold is found with the Household Cleaner?
And do you dilute the Thieves Household Cleaner or use it straight?
Answer: After diffusing is completed, clean visible mold and stains with the
recommended Household Cleaner, undiluted. Use protective equipment and take precautions
to avoid contact with and breathing mold spores while cleaning. Even dead mold spores
can cause allergic reactions, so protective equipment is highly recommended.
Question: When using the Household Cleaner for mold on the exterior of a house
or structure, can it be diluted?
Answer: Yes, when spraying on the outside of a house, the Thieves Household
Cleaner can be diluted 1:1, i.e. 1 part Cleaner to 1 part water, and still be effective. A
nother way to think of this would be to use half Cleaner and half water in a sprayer.
In some geographic areas where there is low humidity, you may dilute the Thieves Household
Cleaner 1:4, 1 part Cleaner to 4 parts water.
Question: How long does 1 bottle of the Thieves essential oil blend last?
Answer: When diffusing continuously for 24 hours or more, and using the
recommended cold-air diffuser and the 15 ml bottle of the essential oil blend,
the oil blend will last between 2 and 3 days.
When diffusing 15 minutes every 3-5 hours, and when diffusing continuously for 8 hours
or less once a week, a 15 ml bottle of the essential oil blend will last about 1 month.
The rate of diffusion depends on many things, including the size of the diffuser’s pump
(3.5 watts is recommended), and atmospheric conditions. Changes in air pressure and
humidity do have minor affects on diffusion rates.
Question: Do you have suggestions as far as square feet (area) in the room, and
how many bottles of the essential oil blend to diffuse?
Answer: Using the recommended cold-air diffuser (3.5 watts) and one 15 ml bottle
of the essential oil blend is sufficient for about 1,000 square feet of space when
diffusing continuously for up to 3 days.
