4. Deodorizing Carpet Sprinkle

Instead of buying carpet fresheners loaded with artificial scents, make your own!

How To:

  • Grind the cloves slightly for a finer texture (a mortar and pestle or spice grinder works well).
  • Mix ¼ cup of baking soda with 1 tablespoon of ground or crushed cloves.
  • Sprinkle lightly over carpets, wait 15–30 minutes, then vacuum.

It refreshes the room and leaves a clean, natural scent behind.


5. Trash Can & Litter Box Freshener

Tired of unpleasant smells in your trash area or around the litter box? Sprinkle a bit of this mix under the liner or directly in the bin for instant improvement.
