Updated: Mar 25



🌸 Fresh Home, Happy Family! 🏡💖 Breathe easy knowing the little ones can play freely in a naturally clean and chemical-free space! ✨👶

As a woman who spends her days taking care of others—whether you’re a mom, Mimi, full-time employee, caregiver, or all of the above—you don’t have time to waste on expensive, chemical-filled deodorizers that don’t last. You need something quick, effective, and safe for you and your loved ones. The good news? 🎉 You can create a natural, long-lasting home and carpet deodorizer in minutes using simple ingredients you likely already have at home. Let’s talk about how you can keep your space fresh while saving time & money! 💰✨


🌟 Why DIY?


You need solutions that work effortlessly. Making your own deodorizer means:

  • 💸 Saving Money – A homemade deodorizer costs a fraction of store-bought ones.

  • 🌿 Safe & Non-Toxic – No harsh chemicals, making it safe for babies, kids, and pets.

  • 🌸 Custom Scents – Choose essential oils that promote relaxation, reduce stress, or energize your space.

  • ⏳ Quick & Easy – This takes just minutes to make and lasts for months.


🛠️ How to Make Your Own Home & Carpet Deodorizer


No fancy ingredients, no complicated process—just a few simple steps to a fresher home. 🏡💖


📋 What You’ll Need:

  • 1 cup of baking soda 🥄 (absorbs odors fast—perfect for snack spills, diaper bins, and pet messes!)

  • 10-20 drops of essential oil 🌿 (choose lavender for calming bedtime vibes, citrus for an uplifting boost, or peppermint for freshness)

  • (Optional) ½ cup of cornstarch 🌽 (helps absorb extra moisture, great for humid climates!)


✨ How to Use It:


  1. Mix the baking soda and essential oil (5 to 10 drops per cup of baking soda) in a bowl. Stir well to distribute the scent evenly. 🌀

  2. If using cornstarch, add it for extra absorption. 🌬️

  3. Store the mixture in a shaker jar (an old spice container or mason jar works perfectly!). 🏺

  4. Sprinkle lightly over carpets, rugs, or even inside diaper bins, strollers, and car seats. 👶🍼🚗

  5. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes, then vacuum for a fresh, clean scent! 🏡✨


💰 The Savings Add Up!


Let’s be real—those store-bought deodorizers are pricey (and let’s not forget toxic)! 😩 But I will stick to cost comparison, so here’s a quick breakdown:

  • A typical carpet deodorizer costs $5-$10 per container. 🛒

  • A large box of baking soda ($3-$5) lasts for months. 💵

  • Essential oils stretch far—you’ll only need a few drops per batch. 🍋🌿

By making your own, you could save hundreds of dollars a year—money better spent on self-care, family outings, or your daily fix (hint: herbal tea)! ☕💖


⏳ Long-Lasting Freshness

A single batch can last several months when stored in an airtight container. Just shake before each use to refresh the scent. 🌸💨
