Baking Soda Carpet Cleaner – Supplies Needed
- Regular Mouth Mason Jar
- Parmesan Cheese Shaker Top
- 1 1/2 cups Baking Soda (Bicarb Soda)
- 45 drops of Essential Oils (your favorite scent) ~ I like to use Lavender or Peppermint. If you have pets, just be sure to check with your veterinarian for a list of pet-friendly essential oils. In the meantime, you can always skip the scent, and just use baking soda. 🙂
