Carpet Powder Recipe
Borax is supposed to kill bugs (especially helpful if your dogs get fleas) and baking soda neutralizes odors, so this is a great combo. I will never buy commercial carpet powder again.
1 Cup Borax
1 Cup Baking Soda
10-20 Drops Essential Oil
Mix together well. Put into Parmesan cheese shaker. Allow to sit 24 hours before use (so the oil can really soak in.)
Shake on carpet and allow to sit at least 1 hour if possible, then vacuum. On a side note, I really like using eucalyptus essential oil. It has some antibacterial qualities and helps me breathe a bit easier. Heaven knows if you have allergies in the South, that is always a plus!
