INGREDIENTS

1 cup baking soda
Up to 30 drops natural essential oils of your choice.

DIRECTIONS

In a glass jar with a lid*, shake together baking soda and essential oils until oils are well dispersed.

To use:

• To freshen carpets, sprinkle liberally over carpets or rugs. Allow to sit for at least 30 minutes. Vacuum well. 
• Sprinkle lightly in shoes to freshen. 
• Remove lid and place in refrigerator. A combination of lemon & orange oils is great for the fridge! 

*A glass jar with a perforated lid, such as a parmesan cheese shaker works well. Or make your own! Start with a mason jar and cut out a round of construction paper to fit over the mouth of the jar. Punch out a few holes using a hole punch. Slip the paper over the mouth of the jar and secure with the screw top from the mason jar.
