Carpet Freshener
Save yourself a few dollars by making your
own carpet freshener using fragrances that *you* love!
What
You Need
- 4 cups sodium borate (borax)
- 1 teaspoon of Perfume Fragrance Oils or Essential Oils
- Ice Cream Pail
Place the sodium borate into your ice
cream pail holding 1/2 cup on reserve. Add your fragrance to the 1/2 cup
of sodium borate and mix well. Add this to the sodium borate in your ice
cream pail and begin to work in through the remaining sodium borate. Cover
and let sit for a day or two. Return to the pail and mix again until all
of the particles or clumps have been worked out. Place in a shaker can.
To use, sprinkle a small amount over
carpet and let sit for up to 1/2 hour before vacuuming out.
*Care should be taken to ensure that all
of the fragrance or essential oil is completely mixed in with the sodium
borate so that you don't accidentally get undissolved fragrance in your
carpet which can stain.
