DIY Natural Carpet Powder

Let's talk carpets.

You know those vacuum powders you love so much? You know...the powders you buy to sprinkle all over your carpet, then five minutes later you vacuum them up?

Yes.
Those.

I love them so much.
I hate paying for them.

Here is a great alternative:

1 Box, a big box, of baking soda...I don't really care too much about brand here
1 Big tupperware container or a sturdy Ziplock bag to hold the soda
1 Bottle of your favorite essential oil or blend (I prefer Melaleuca's Peace for my own home)

Dump the baking soda into your container
Add 10-20 drops of your oil
Shake well

*let it sit overnight*
This will make the scent stronger

Tada! Done. Boom!

You could even go as far as to make a cute shaker, but I haven't done anything like that.

Disperse a little powder throughout the carpeting in your home, wait 15 minutes, then vacuum. The scent stays for days!
