    Rosemary-Lavender Carpet Shampoo


    Source of Recipe


    Fun on a Budget

    List of Ingredients




    This recipe makes enough for a 10' x 13' room. If you can't find soap
    flakes, you can use 1/4 cup borax instead, but test the outcome of this substitution
    on a small area first.
    2 cups baking soda
    1/2 cups soap flakes
    20 drops lavender essential oil
    8 drops rosemary essential oil
    1/2 cup vinegar
    2 cups warm water

    Recipe



    1. Sweep carpet to be cleaned with a broom or carpet sweeper to loosen dirt,
    then vacuum the entire area.
    2. Combine the baking soda and soap flakes in a plastic bowl. Add the
    essential oils and mix well, breaking up any clumps with a fork. Sprinkle the
    mixture on the carpet.
    3. Add the vinegar to the warm water in a bucket or pail. Dip a clean
    sponge mop into the bucket and squeeze out as much excess liquid as you can.
    Gently go over carpet with the sponge mop, working in sections. Wait at least an
    hour and then vacuum again.
