2 Ingredient Carpet Deodorizer

I have dogs and that means that my home doesn't always smell like roses. Today, in fact, I am sitting here typing while smelling eau de wet dog. I wouldn't keep this cutie off of my feet for the life of me, though!
Since I have pets but I want a house that smells nice I like to use lots of "smell goods" including carpet deodorizer. It's hardly an expensive thing to buy at the store BUT I can show you how to make it for SO MUCH CHEAPER and in your absolutely favorite scents, too!


I actually made this carpet deodorizer for my Momma and she is in love with the scent of lemongrass. It's such a clean smell I can see why she digs it.






The process of this is really simple. Grab baking soda and fill a mason jar.






Dump the baking soda into a bowl and add your fave scent of essential oil and mix well. P.S. A larger bowl that this is a much better idea but once I start something, even if I messed up, I'm too stubborn and committed to change the plan :)






This fabulous mason jar accessory is actually a cocktail shaker!






Sprinkle a bit of your gorgeous smell onto the carpet (no worries about the essential oil as there is such a tiny amount inside) and allow it to sit for a while before vacuuming up and your home will smell wonderful!
Quick tip for another fab use, you can sprinkle a small amount in the bottom of your trash cans (beneath the plastic bag) and it will help keep slightly smelly garbage in check!
