We at Carpet Care 2000 would like to take the opportunity to share a few methods to help you the carpets fresh in time for Thanksgiving.
Carpet Deodorizer Method #1 – Baking Soda and Lavender Essential Oil Treatment
1) Take a 1/2 cup of baking soda and mix in about 30 drops of lavender essential oil (or your favorite essential oil scent.
2) Pour the mixture into a vented container, such as a mason jar with slotted holes in the lid, or you can puncture them yourself; a spice or parmesan cheese container works well too.
3) Let the mixture vent through the container for at least 24 hours. At the end of the 24 hours, sprinkle the baking soda on the carpet’s surface and allow it to linger for 15-30 minutes.
4) Slowly and thoroughly vacuum the carpets methodically, overlapping the lanes as you go. Any odors that will have been developed will be neutralized in the air and the carpets and the lavender oil will help your home smell all the fresher for your guests.
Carpet Deodorizer Method #2 – Vinegar Treatment
1) Fill white distilled vinegar into a spray bottle.
