Storage Container , airtight (preferably amber-colored, but not necessary)
Ingredients
1cupBaking soda
15-20DropsEssential oil
Instructions
Combine 1 cup Baking soda and 15-20 Drops Essential oil in the lidded container. Tighten the lid and shake to disperse the oil throughout the baking soda.
Regular Use
Sprinkle the mixture over your carpet. Let it sit for one hour, and then vacuum it up.
Non-Greasy Stains
Generously sprinkle the mixture over the stain.
Wet a paper towel or washcloth so that it is damp, but not dripping wet. Lay this over the baking soda.
Let it sit for at least three hours, overnight is even better.
Remove the towel and vacuum up the baking soda.
Repeat as neccessary until the stain is no longer there.
Greasy Stains
Sprinkle the mixture over the stain and let it sit overnight to absorb as much of the oil as possible, and then vacuum it up.
Storage
Store in an airtight container, exposure to air will reduce the odor-absorbing power of the baking soda and the potency of the essential oil(s) will diminish otherwise.
