Home Made Carpet Powder

What to do when company is arriving in less than half hour and you have no carpet powder to freshen up the living room carpet?

If you have these two household products sitting in your pantry closet then you’re in luck! You can whip up some homemade carpet powder in less than 5 minutes and makes a great conversation piece!

Recipe – Homemade Carpet Powder

• Large mixing container
• Baking soda
• Borax
• Choice of fragrance oil or essential oil
  
• Aluminum foil and tape
  

Using foil and a toothpick makes magic!

In a large mixing container combine equal parts baking soda and borax (We only needed enough for our living room and foyer so we just used one cup of baking soda and one cup borax). Mix well.

You can add your preference of scent (In our case we added 3-4 drops of lavender fragrance oil).

Time was of the essence so we just covered the container with aluminum foil and taped around the container. We poked various small holes into the foil and voila! you now have our own makeshift powder shaker.
