Ingredients:
10 drops Tea Tree
10 drops Lemon
20 drops Lavender
1 16 ounce box of baking soda
Directions:
Add the baking soda to a large bowl and then add the essential oils. Be sure to mix the oils into the baking soda well. Since lemon essential oil is normally yellow, it is essential that it is mixed well into the baking soda so that no undiluted lemon oil stains your carpet.
This blend may be adapted to use your favorite essential oils, but strive to add essential oils that offer antibacterial and disinfectant properties to give the deodorizer an added benefit (the oils in this blend work to accomplish that).
After you have blended the oils into the baking soda, the deodorizer can be stored in a glass jar or airtight container.
Instructions for Use:
Sprinkle the deodorizer onto your carpet (use of a discarded but clean large spice container that has holes for "shaking" out the spice works well for this). Allow the deodorizer to work its magic for 10-20 minutes and then vacuum normally.
