Carpet Powder

As a pet owner I tend to use a lot of carpet powder and floor cleaner to keep my carpets smelling as fresh as possible. I eventually grew tired of having to repeatedly buy the store bought carpet powder and went searching for a cheaper alternative. Turns out there is a very cheap alternative. All you need is two ingredients. One if you want to be really simplistic.

What you'll need:

Baking soda
Essential oil of your choice ( optional, i chose orange! yum!)
Container of your choice (i like to reuse containers and thought an old Parmesan cheese shaker would work perfectly!)

All you have to do is mix about a cup or two of  baking soda and the essential oil together and sprinkle it on your carpet. I usually put about 10-15 drops in my mixture and it smells great. Leave the mixture on your carpet for at least a half hour. I find it works the best when left on overnight. Easy!
