What Can I Sprinkle On My Carpet to Freshen it Up?

The secret ingredient to freshening up your carpets is baking soda, also known as bicarbonate of soda.  It really works great at absorbing bad smells and neutralizing odors.

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. 🙂
