Young Living for Laundry Essentials

If I’m being honest, the laundry room isn’t usually where the magic happens. It’s where socks go missing and piles mysteriously multiply. But what if I told you that this everyday corner of your home could actually become a space of calm, comfort, and even joy? With a little help from Young Living, it can. ✨ Over the years, I’ve slowly swapped out conventional products for more natural options, and using Young Living for laundry has truly changed the game for our home. From dreamy scents to gentle ingredients, it’s one of those little shifts that makes everyday tasks feel a bit more magical.

So if you’re looking to give your laundry routine a gentle refresh, here are a few of my favorite Young Living laundry products and how I use them to turn a chore into a moment of self-care.

1. Thieves Laundry Soap: A Natural Laundry Essential

Let’s start with the foundation—Thieves Laundry Soap. This little bottle is mighty. It’s ultra-concentrated, so a little truly goes a long way (I stretch mine even further by splitting one bottle into two and adding water—it works beautifully).

Free from synthetic dyes and fragrances, it’s one of my most-loved non-toxic laundry products because it gets the job done without all the harsh stuff. And, bonus—it smells warm and comforting, like a cozy hug from a basket of fresh clothes. 🧺

If you’re dipping your toes into the Young Living lifestyle, this is the perfect place to begin. Clean clothes, happy heart.

2. Purification or Lavender for a Custom Scent Boost

I used to grab store-bought scent beads to make laundry smell extra fresh… until I peeked at the ingredient list (yikes). Now, I add a few drops of Purification, Lavender, or even Lushious Lemon essential oil to a wool dryer ball and toss it in with my drying load.

Not only does this create the best scent experience, but it’s also a great way to customize your laundry depending on your mood or the season. Lavender in springtime, Thieves during winter, and Lemon or Citrus Fresh on those sunny summer days. ☀️

These oils are staples in my natural laundry routine, and I love how simple it is to add that spa-like scent to something as ordinary as laundry day.

3. Wool Dryer Balls: The Unsung Hero

If you haven’t made the switch to wool dryer balls, let this be your sign. They cut drying time, reduce static, and are a dream when paired with Young Living essential oils.

I keep a small basket of them right next to my dryer and grab two or three per load. My tip? Add your oils before you start the load, so the oils have time to soak in and won’t leave spots on your clothes. Trust me—it makes your laundry smell like a dream.

4. Thieves Household Cleaner: Yes, Even in the Laundry Room

This isn’t just for your counters! I use Thieves Household Cleaner to wipe down the top of the washer and dryer, clean out the lint tray, and freshen up any sticky or musty corners in the laundry area. I’ve even used it to pre-treat stains when I’m out of my go-to stain remover!

It’s a beautiful all-in-one product and one of my Young Living laundry must-haves because it keeps everything clean without the overwhelming chemical smell.

5. Lushious Lemon: A Laundry Day Mood Booster

On days when the laundry is never-ending, I’ll diffuse Lushious Lemon or Citrus Fresh in the laundry room. There’s something so bright and happy about the way these citrusy oils smell—and it gives the room that light, lifted feeling, even when it’s full of half-folded towels. 🍋

Sometimes I even put a few drops on a cotton round and tuck it inside a drawer or laundry basket. It’s those tiny touches that make the difference, right?

6. DIY Linen Spray with Essential Oils

One of my favorite little luxuries? A simple DIY linen spray using Lavender, Cedarwood, and a splash of Witch Hazel in a glass spray bottle. I spritz it on clean bedding and towels as I fold them. It feels like a hotel moment at home, and it takes two seconds to make.

Not only does this bring me joy, but it’s also a wonderful way to use your oils in a fresh, creative way. Plus—it makes guest towels and sheets feel extra special (even if the guests are just your kids!).

Why It Matters

Our homes should be a safe haven, and for me, that starts with what we bring into them. Using Young Living products in the laundry room has given me peace of mind and turned a daily chore into something a little softer and a lot more intentional.

It’s not about perfection. My laundry still piles up, and there are still mismatched socks. But there’s something about folding clothes that smell like Lavender or knowing the detergent touching my baby’s skin is truly clean… that makes all the difference.

Whether you’re brand new to essential oils or you’ve been loving them for years, your laundry room is the perfect place to start making small changes with big impact. You don’t need to overhaul everything—just start with one swap, and build from there.
