If you have little hands around your home, it’s so important to keep your carpets clean. For us, it seems like we are always vacuuming our home!
However, yesterday I noticed that our carpets were smelling a little dingy. It’s been a rough winter, and the house has been closed up for quite some time. Plus with all the company rolling through, we’ve had a lot of traffic in our little home.
I wanted a way to freshen our carpets AND deodorize them. I’ve seen many homemade carpet deodorizer recipes going around lately, but experience shows me a simple baking soda carpet cleaner and deodorizer works best!
Plus, you don’t want to use store-bought carpet deodorizers that contain harsh chemicals and fragrances that never seem to leave. Before I knew better, I used a few types of these and was always left with a headache from the fragrance. Good ole baking soda on carpet, mixed with essential oils, works best.
For my recipe, I’m using just two ingredients: lavender essential oil and baking soda. (Simple, right?!)
I chose lavender essential oil because it is one of the only essential oils that will remove odors from your carpet. Lavender is also antibacterial and is an effective cleaner against many bacteria including Streptococcus.

The main reason I chose lavender is that I have a baby who crawls all over and often puts his mouth to the carpet. Lavender is one of the only essential oils approved for children under two.
If you are not a fan of lavender, I provide additional essential oil blends below.
Baking soda is very well known for its deodorizing properties and has been used by many to deodorize everything from refrigerators to bathrooms. Plus, it is easily vacuumed up which makes everything quick!
*You could also use a cheese shaker or salt shaker with large holes for this. I just use mason jars for my baking soda carpet cleaners so that was the easiest for me to grab.
That’s it! You now have a fresh smelling carpet that will leave you feeling good for a long time.
Now, if you aren’t a fan of lavender, there are some great variations you could try.
