Here is how to make your own homemade carpet deodorizer, so you don't have to buy those expensive ones from the store anymore.

Another great reason to make your own carpet deodorizer, besides saving money, is to be able to choose your own scent, if you want it, for the deodorizer.

Basically all carpet deodorizer is is baking soda, which is an excellent odor absorber.You sprinkle the baking soda onto the carpet, let it sit for at least fifteen minutes (preferably overnight), and then vacuum up the baking soda and the unwanted smells.

Where it gets fancy in regard to the recipe is what scent, if any, you want to add to your carpet while removing the stinky smells.

Possible Natural Scents For Your Carpet Deodorizer

Here are some great ideas for good smelling, natural ingredients that you can add to the baking soda carpet deodorizer:

• Fragrant flowers, such as lavender, all crushed up and combined with the baking soda (1/2 cup flowers, 1 cup baking soda)


• 7-10 drops of essential oil (your choice of oil, but here are some suggested essential oil recipes you can use) combined with 1 cup baking soda (Hint: the essential oil will tend to clump in the baking soda, and you must try to break up the clumps and evenly distribute the oil throughout the baking soda before it is sprinkled on the carpet)




• 4 teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 4 teaspoons of ground cloves, combined with 1 cup baking soda

Each of these ingredients, combined with the baking soda, will make your room smell nice and fresh, and allow you to choose the scent, and the amount of scent, that you want in your carpet.
