How Do You Make Homemade Carpet Freshener?
A carpet freshner is a powder that can be poured onto the carpet and then vacummed to give the carpet a fresh, clean smell. The cost of commercial freshners can add up and sometimes they aren’t very effecitive at neutralizing odors. An effective and often cheaper way to freshen a carpet is to create your own carpet freshener. One effective way to create a carpet freshner is to use rosemary and lavender. Not only do these ingredients give your carpet a nice clean smell, but it also helps fight against fleas and moths. Pour 2 cups baking soda into a ceramic bowl, using a wooden spoon to break up lumps. Add 2 cups rosemary to the baking soda. Mix these together until thoroughly mixed. Add 2 cups lavender to the mixture and mix thoroughly. Pour into a glass container or plastic bag. Pour the carpet freshener over the desired area and allow to sit for 3 to 4 hours. Vacuum up the powder from the carpet.
