Things You'll Need:
A Large Zip-Closure Freezer Bag
2 cups Baking Soda
1/4 cup Ground Cinnamon
1/8 cup Ground ClovesA Mason Jar with a lid or Spaghetti Sauce Jar with a lid
A Sharp Knife
Vacuum
Steps
Measure your ingredients. This is not a set in stone formula, so a little leeway is available. You may want to add more or less of the spices to your preference. See the warnings and tips at the end of this article.
Add the baking soda, cinnamon and cloves to the freezer bag. Seal and shake vigorously. Distribute them evenly so that the spices will be well spread over your carpet or rug and not just in some areas.
With the sharp knife, carefully poke holes in the lid of your jar to make a carpet deodorizer sprinkler.
Pour or spoon the powder into the clean, dry jar. You may want to label the jar just in case you don't use all the carpet freshener in the first use.
Sprinkle liberally to cover most of the room. Wait at least 15 minutes before vacuuming. After running the vacuum, you should notice a warm spicy scent in your entire room.
Tip
Set a kitchen timer after you finish sprinkling the powder.
Warnings
Be careful not to cut yourself while poking holes in your jar lid.
Although this is all natural carpet freshener, avoid breathing in the powder.
