Reduce Carpet Odor With Essential Oils

Lila Ann has shared how she reduces carpet odors with essential oils. She says:

If I feel like my carpet, and the air in a room with carpet in it is feeling a bit off I change my vacuum bag to a fresh one, and add a cotton ball into the new bag with a few drops of vanilla essential oil on it.

I then vacuum my carpet and it really makes a huge difference in how the room smells.

I love my vanilla essential oil!

I will sometimes also add lavender essential oil too, for a nice blend of the two fragrances.

Taylor says:

Thanks Lila Ann for the great tip for how to use essential oils in your home.

I suggest doing something similar with essential oils when making your own homemade carpet deodorizer.

So, does anyone else have any suggestions for how to use essential oils as part of homemade cleaners?

If so, submit your own essential oil uses around the home here.

I have created an article about essential oil recipes for homemade cleaning products which suggests several nice combinations of oils that smell good together in your home.
