It's been beautiful here. We've been able to open all the windows and air out the house. Which has my mind jumping to spring cleaning much too early. Yesterday I made this super easy essential oil recipe, DIY carpet freshener, sprinkled it on the carpet and let it sit about an hour before vacuuming it up. It took the stale, musty smell that builds up all winter right out of the carpet and the house smells clean and fresh. What You Need for DIY Carpet Freshener:16 oz Mason Jar-you want glass if you are going to use any sort of citrus essential oil. Sprinkle top-these daisy lids pictured below are becoming very easy to find in Target, Walmart, Amazon (affiliate link) or Michael's but if you can't find one you can use aluminum foil with holes poked in it under the screw top. 16 oz Baking soda-you know I buy this in bulk for all the crafts I do right? Use left over to make fragrance stones. Essential oils-I used 10 drops Young Living Peppermint & 10 drops Grapefruit (this is a favorite combination of mine for cleaning). Really, you can use whatever oils you would like your home to smell like--Lavender, Lemon, Jade Lemon, Orange, Lime, Citrus Fresh and Purification ...
