First of all we are going to see how we can make our own carpet deodorizing powders, using an old acquaintance, sodium bicarbonate and then we will see how to clean and deodorize our carpets with this wonderful product.

To prepare deodorizing powders we need:

- Sodium bicarbonate
- Essential oil, orange, lemon, lavender ... the one with our favorite aroma
- A recovered bottle of spices or similar, which has holes to comfortably sprinkle our deodorizer

In any container we put the amount of bicarbonate that we will fit in the pot that we have, we add a few drops of the essential oil of our choice and stir with a spoon so that all the bicarbonate is impregnated with the essential oil. Next we pack the scented bicarbonate in the dusting pot.

If we have any stains on the carpet, it will be time to clean it, we can use a paste based on bicarbonate and water or some other method, such as this one that we already present in another article on this page. When we have the carpet free of stains we will go to deodorizing, for this we will sprinkle our deodorizing powder all over the surface of the carpet and with a stiff bristle brush we will give a good brushing throughout the carpet so that the dust enters between the fibers of the carpet. Then we will vacuum to remove all the deodorizing dust. You will see how your carpet remains with a great clean smell, it will also be completely sanitized.

Do not forget to label, even with a simple marker, the scented bicarbonate, although you can also print a label to make it perfectly recognizable. And keep it with the cleaning products, please, so you will avoid possible confusion and accidents.
