At ProEd Global Schools, the health and well-being of our students and staff are paramount. That’s why we’re excited to announce the introduction of the Thieves cleaning range across our campuses. From the all-purpose household cleaner to the cleansing hand soaps in all our bathrooms and the hand purifying gel in our front admin and nurse quarters, every aspect of this range has been carefully selected to align with our commitment to sustainability and health.
Why Thieves?
The decision to incorporate Thieves cleaning products into our schools is rooted in our ProEd C.A.R.E.S. initiative, particularly the sustainability pillar. These products not only contribute to a cleaner environment but also safeguard the health of everyone in our school community.
- Plant-Based and Non-Toxic
Thieves cleaning products are made from plant-based ingredients, avoiding the harsh chemicals commonly found in conventional cleaning products. Many commercial cleaners contain toxic chemicals like phthalates, triclosan, and parabens, which are known endocrine disruptors. These chemicals can interfere with hormonal balance and have long-term health effects, particularly in children whose bodies are still developing.By choosing Thieves, we eliminate these risks. The products are free from harmful toxins, ensuring that our school environment is safe for both students and staff. This is especially crucial in areas like classrooms and bathrooms, where exposure to cleaning agents is frequent. - Supporting Immune Health
One of the standout features of Thieves products is their ability to support immune health. The blend of essential oils in Thieves—clove, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus, and rosemary—has been shown to have antimicrobial properties. This means that while these products are cleaning surfaces, they’re also helping to reduce the spread of germs and bacteria, contributing to a healthier school environment. - Aromatherapy Benefits
In our front office admin area, you’ll notice the soothing aroma of Stress Away, another Young Living essential oil blend. This calming scent has been strategically chosen to help melt away worries as students, staff, and visitors enter the school. Aromatherapy has been shown to reduce stress and promote a sense of well-being, allowing our kids to step into their learning days powerfully and with a positive mindset.
Part of Our Sustainability Pillar in ProEd C.A.R.E.S.
At ProEd, we are committed to creating a sustainable and healthy environment for our community. The introduction of Thieves cleaning products is an important step in our journey toward reducing our environmental impact. These products are biodegradable and eco-friendly, meaning they don’t leave behind harmful residues that can contaminate water sources or harm wildlife.
Moreover, by reducing the use of toxic chemicals, we’re contributing to cleaner indoor air quality, which is crucial for both short-term well-being and long-term health. Indoor air pollution is a significant concern in schools, and by opting for non-toxic cleaners, we’re ensuring that the air our students and staff breathe is as clean and safe as possible.
