With pets, kids, and everything in between it’s no surprise that our carpets tend to take a serious beating every now and then. When this happens don’t rush off to the store where you’ll probably end up spending a pretty penny on some chemically filled cleaning solution, but instead make your own organic mixture at home!

You’ll be surprised at how well this solution works, and the fresh clean smell it will leave behind!

Materials Needed

• 2 cups baking soda
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 cup cornmeal
• 4 bay leaves
• 1 tbsp borax
• 1 tbsp whole cloves

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients into your blender and blend for about 30 seconds or until well combined.
2. Once combined, transfer the mixture into a sprinkle container.
3. Sprinkle the mixture over your carpet and then rub it in lightly.
4. Allow mixture to sit for 10 minutes and then vacuum the carpet.
