Homemade Herbal Carpet Freshener Recipe
This makes a big batch of carpet freshener that will last quite awhile. You can cut the amounts down if you like until you find your favorite blend. To give yourself a small variety to choose from, you could split the recipe in three then add three different herbal fragrance choices to each container/mix.
Ingredients:
6 cups baking soda
3 cups dried lavender buds/flowers*
1 cup cornstarch
Directions:
- Mix well and store in an airtight plastic container (a clean icecream pail works great). Set aside for a couple days before using. Sprinkle generously on carpet and let sit for one hour before vacuuming.
*Alternates:
- Cloves & Cinnamon (50/50 mix or whatever you prefer)
- Lavender & Rosemary (50/50 mix or whatever you prefer)
- Dried Mint Leaves
- Eucalyptus
- Potpourri
Crush the herbs or flowers up a bit first before adding to the recipe.
Using Essential Oils:
Instead of using dried herbs, you can substitute with essential oils, experiment with amounts for best results. Make sure to mix it in the recipe thoroughly and let sit for a few days before using.
