All-Natural Carpet Deodorizer

Posted on 13. Dec, 2010 by Admin in Indoor Air Quality, Purified Living

During the holiday season, many of us enjoy entertaining our friends & family from the comforts of our homes. A big part of holiday preparation is a big house cleaning before and after the party.

Our carpets are often acts as a sponge for all the smells that are introduced throughout your home by a number of different sources — like cooking, pets, traffic, etc. So what can you do to safely and inexpensively remove the unwanted smells from your carpet?

Here are some simple steps on how to make your own all-natural carpet deodorizer that will leave your carpet smelling nice and fresh:

1. Pour one small box of baking soda into the container of your choice. As we all know, baking soda is a proven natural deodorizer, which is why so many of us keep a box in the fridge
2. Add a couple of handfuls of aromatic flowers or leaves like mint, chamomile flowers, or whole cinnamon sticks. Once you combine them, the aromatics give the baking soda a light scent
3. If you want more fragrance, add a drop or two of your favourite essential oil. If you just want a light, clean scent, or if you don’t have essential oils on hand, feel free to skip this step
4. Mix it all together and then sprinkle the mixture onto your carpets and leave it for few hours. Let the mixture perform it’s magic — unpleasant odors will be replaced with light, natural fragrance
5. Vacuum it all up and voilà! You are now ready for holidays!
