TWO Ingredient Natural Carpet Sprinkle

Hello!
So, this past weekend we replaced our master bathroom toilet. Why would we replace the toilet you ask? Because we had a very stinky leak (EWW, it smelled so bad, y'all!!). The leak made our whole bathroom smell like a public men's room; Yes, I know what they smell like! That's an embarrassing story involving a baseball stadium bathroom. So, I decided to make a batch of my homemade carpet sprinkle to put on the carpet before I vacuumed it up. Side note: I have no clue why the person that built our house put CARPET in the bathroom, but that is a different gripe for a different day! Since I was making the sprinkle anyway I wanted to do a tutorial to share with y'all. I have been using this stuff for several years and I love it! It's 100% natural, so I feel safe using it with a little one and the dogs in the house. For a long time I used the pre-made carpet sprinkle you could buy at the store, but for one thing, it was expensive and for another, it had so many different chemicals in it. Enjoy!

Let's get started!

 You'll Need: 

• An empty Parmesan cheese container or anything that has a sprinkle lid
• baking soda ( I used a 16 oz. box)
• essential oils 

I start out by adding about half of the baking soda into my cheese container super fancy carpet sprinkle container. 

Next I add about 10-20 drops of essential oils on top of the baking soda. I like mine strong, so just give it a sniff after every five drops or so. This carpet sprinkle is super customizable! I used a mix of lemon and sweet orange oil this time, but I've used peppermint, a pre-made holiday mixture (synergy), lavender, etc. The oils just give the sprinkle a nice smell, but the superstar is the odor eliminating baking soda. 

Finally, I add the remaining baking soda. You could shake it or stir it; I've done both and it seems to combine better when I stir it. Just pop the lid on and you're ready to go!

Thanks for stopping by and stay fresh (I couldn't help myself, I'm corny like that)! :)
