Deodorize with Essential Oils and Baking Soda
An essential part of carpet cleaning is deodorizing—especially when you have children and/or pets!
Mix 1 to 2 tablespoons of borax (also known as sodium borate, an alkaline mineral salt with a powdery white appearance that’s most famous as a laundry washing powder) with 10 drops of essential oil and 2 cups of baking soda.
Spread the mixture on the carpet, allow it to dry and then vacuum it up.
