to prepare the cleaner : weigh out about 200g of baking soda in a bowl or wide mouth glass jar, which is just good for the size of our carpet. put about 10 drops of essential oils on the soda powder and mix lightly with a small rod or spoon. the idea is to avoid clumps of powder from forming when you sprinkle in the oils. a good combination of essential oils for this purpose is teatree, eucalyptus and sweet orange, for disinfection and a mild fruity scent.
to use : sprinkle the baking soda sparingly over the carpet.
let the powder stay on the carpet for 15 minutes to as long as an hour.
vaccuum the carpet as usual.
fresh, clean and disinfected carpet ready for the little people to jump and dance on!!
give it a try and let me know if you like it as much as we do!!
Thanks for sharing , it helps ! But I would like to ask whether it's a must to use the baking soda along with the essential oils ? Is it possible to use merely the soda?
