How to Use

To prepare and use Thieves® Foaming Hand Soap from its concentrate, follow these simple steps:

1. Dispenser Preparation: Pour approximately 60 ml (2 oz) of the concentrate into an empty, clean foaming soap dispenser. It is recommended to use a dispenser suitable for foaming soap.


2. Water Addition: Fill the dispenser with approximately 180 ml (6 oz) of distilled or filtered water, up to the fill line if your container has one. The ratio is typically 1 part concentrate to 3 parts water.


3. Mixing: Close the dispenser and gently shake to mix the concentrate with the water. Avoid shaking vigorously to prevent too much foam from forming prematurely.


4. Use: Pump a small amount of foam into your hands. Rub for at least 20 seconds, ensuring you cover all surfaces of your hands, wrists, and between your fingers.


5. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with warm water until all soap is removed.


6. Drying: Dry your hands with a clean towel or air dry.

This concentrate is designed to be diluted. It is not recommended to use it directly without dilution.

Precautions

Although Thieves® Foaming Hand Soap Concentrate is formulated with gentle ingredients, it is important to take certain precautions:

• For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water.


• Keep out of reach of children.


• If any irritation or reaction occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.


• Store in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.


• Ensure the dispenser used is clean before each refill to prevent bacterial growth.


• Do not ingest. In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical attention.

Storage

To ensure the durability and effectiveness of the concentrate and diluted soap, consider the following recommendations:

• Unopened Concentrate: Keep in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.


• Opened Concentrate: Ensure the container is tightly closed after each use and stored under the same conditions.


• Diluted Soap: Once diluted in the dispenser, it is recommended to use it within 1 to 2 months to ensure maximum freshness and effectiveness, especially if tap water is used. If distilled water is used, the period may be slightly longer, but it is always advisable to prepare quantities that are consumed regularly.


• Dispenser Conditions: Regularly clean the dispenser before each refill to prevent any accumulation or contamination.
