naturally new carpets..

Unfortunately, I am still waiting patiently for the chance to upgrade my upstairs lounge into some lovely wooden floorboards. Until then I have to make do with the 70's carpet that I have been dealt. It's actually not to bad, luckily the previous owner didn't like green shagpile carpet but stuck to a fairly neutral short style carpet. I still feel like every now & then it needs a 'big refresh'. I like to know what I'm breathing in & also have little ones crawling around so I investigated a natural carpet freshener & would like to let you in on it. It's super easy & my lounge smells amazing!

Here is what you do..

1. Clean out a jar

2. Put 1 Cup of Bicarb of Soda into it & add 100 drops of Essential Oil (I used mandarin & lemongrass)

3. Pop the lid on the Jar & give it a good shake

4. Leave it for 24 hours

5. Sprinkle over the carpet (I put mine on the lounge too)

 6. Leave for 20 minutes

7. Vacuum away

8. Breathe deep...

See Easy Peasy!
