It got me thinking about a way to make it myself. I knew bi carb was great for absorbing odours and I loved the fragrance of a few essential oils I used in oil burners. So I put two and two together and came up with my own carpet deodoriser.
1 cup of bi carb of soda .
10 - 12 drops of essential oil
small bowl,
whisk
medium / large salt shaker
cling wrap or a small plastic bag
Mix the bi carb and essential oil together in a small bowl. Use the whisk until well blended.
Spoon the mixture into the salt shaker and cover the holes with cling wrap or a plastic bag
Let the mixture sit over night for the bi carb to absorb the oil fragrance.
Sprinkle over your carpets where needed and let it sit for at least 1/2 hour.
Vacuum up and enjoy the lovely fragrance.
NOTES -
* I only make up what I need to use. I don't make big batches because essential oil fragrance can change when left over time. You'll lose the beautiful top notes and be left with a not so nice smell.
* Bi carb can be bought in bulk from herb and spice shops, cleaning wholesalers or pool shops. It's also known as ph Buffer from pool shops and is only safe to use in cleaning or in pools. In other words, not for baking.
