Want that new carpet feel but short on time? This homemade carpet powder recipe is a quick way to freshen your house using two all natural ingredients! Get the recipe at happymoneysaver.com
We moms do our fair share of vacuuming. Cheerios… check. Glitter…check. A whole container of salt…check. I say it’s time to bring a little bit of fun into this (literally) everyday routine. This homemade carpet powder recipe is not only fun to use, but it will make your house feel fresh and new! This homemade carpet powder recipe is so easy to throw together. I love to keep a batch handy for whenever my home is looking for boost of freshness.

Homemade Carpet Powder Recipe

All you need is baking soda and essential oil. That’s it! I chose lemon for this batch because I love its purification effects. I also love Maleluca oil, Lavender and Peppermint. I am in love with doTERRA essential oils because they are SO strong and pure.

Try to make your homemade carpet powder recipe at least a day in advance. This lets the oils infuse into the baking soda. Also, if you are going to make a big batch, I suggest getting your baking soda in bulk. I love WinCo for this! It’s only $0.54 per pound! While you are there, grab a few extra pounds, and you can try out some of my other favorite things to do with baking soda.

Use about 3-4 drops of essential oil per cup of baking soda. I made a six-cup batch and used about 18 drops. Let sit for 24 hours, and stir/shake a couple times.

When it comes time to apply, use a cheap mesh strainer and shake all over the carpet. Let sit for about 15 minutes and then suck it all up with your vacuum!

Now sit back and enjoy your fresh and deodorized carpet! My favorite part about this homemade carpet powder recipe is that it is all-natural! You can feel safe knowing that your kids and pets won’t be rolling around in Chloromethylisothiazolinone, Benzisothiazolinone, and Polyacrylate. Uhhhh, come again?? Yeah. These are some of the more simple ingredients in your average commercial carpet powder.

Lastly, If you want to do more than just freshen and deodorize your carpets, try this inexpensive carpet cleaning solution. It does wonders on stains!

is it worth is file plain graphic

For 6 cups of Febreze carpet powder it would cost $7.60. To make 6 cups of this homemade carpet powder recipe it costs $2.34! This is enough carpet powder for 3-4 applications on a large room! So yes, I would say this homemade carpet recipe is definitely worth the cost and time to make yourself.

I hope you make a batch of my homemade carpet powder. I love this stuff and I know you will too!

    Hi! I just jumped on the diy cleaning products bandwagon and am so excited about it. I found this recipe for carpet powder and can’t wait to use it! I do have some questions though!

    The EO drops clump immediately after hitting the baking soda. Is there a way to easily get the clumps out? I’m making 6 cups, so when I stir it, the clumps end up buried and it’s hard to find them to fix them- haha

    Is there a point when it is too much EO? I could really smell much using just 18 drops, so I had a million drops of lemon and a million drops of lavender. I don’t know exactly how much. I know more isn’t always better but with 2 dogs and a cat, and a roommate who smokes…. I’m looking for STRONG.

    Thank you!!!!

    I use this mixture for stains and spots in mattresses. If one of my kids has an accident that the mattress cover doesn’t catch, use this mixture (I use a bit more oil) by rubbing it into the spot and letting it sit for a while before vacuuming it up. Works like a charm! I never thought to use it on the carpets though – I will be now! Thanks!
