No need to buy commercial cleaning powder, when you have the strength of baking soda sitting in your cupboard already. This powder will do an amazing job at absorbing odors and will leave nothing weird behind.
This is meant for occasional use (every two months or so), as many vacuum cleaners are not strong enough to get up all the powder. Note too that fine powders can be hard on vacuums as well.
Carpet Cleaning Powder
* 1 part baking soda
* 1 part corn starch
* Fragrant dried leaves or spices (try bay leaves, lavender, cinnamon or cloves)
As always, it's best to do a pre vacuum on your carpet before using any product.
Mix the ingredients together in a bowl, then sprinkle on carpet.
You can use your hand to do the sprinkling or put the powder in a recycled container with holes in the lid (parmesan cheese maybe).
Allow the powder to sit for an hour or even over night. Don't walk on the powder as it's doing its work, as this will grind it down into the weave of your carpet.
Vacuum up the powder thoroughly.
