I’ve gotten good results with adding concentrated drops of herbal extracts –lavender and cedar, to the hot cleaning solution in my steam-vac carpet cleaner. This works great! Also have used orange extract –very inexpensive if you buy the big bottle, as sold in some stores for baking. Smart and Final has a good price.

The idea of carpet freshener is to vacuum it up after it sits in the carpet for a bit. If you leave it in the carpet it will only make the carpet dirtier.

I would skip the baking soda & cornstarch, using just dried herbs is better. THe BS & CS stay in your carpet for a LONG TIME collecting TONS OF DIRT. I found this out after removing carpet to reveal our wood floors.

I used cloves in the recipe and could not stand the smell with cloves it does not smell good but I may try it with a different ingredient
