Smelly carpet? Try this homemade natural carpet deodorizer. It smells great, works, and doesn’t have any nasty toxic chemicals.

Making your own homemade natural carpet deodorizer is simple, reduces the toxic chemicals in your home, and can also save you money. And of one of my favorite parts is being able to make whatever scent I want.

I love creating different scents. I usually switch them up seasonally. This is my favorite scent for spring. It smells fresh and clean. I love the way the house smells after I vacuum with this.

I like to use an orange spice scent during fall, peppermint scent for winter, and a summer citrus scent during the summer. They all smell amazing.

The Danger of Carpet Deodorizer

Carpet fresheners on the market normally contain synthetic fragrance. Synthetic fragrance is not an ingredient but a group of ingredients that companies don’t have to disclose. They often include harmful ingredients that have been shown to cause a number of health concerns.

Another harmful ingredient found in many carpet fresheners is benzyl benzoate. The European Union has found benzyl benzoate to be a possible human immune system toxicant or allergen and wildlife and environmental toxicant. It is also possibly an endocrine disrupter.

The Benefit of Essential Oils

Essential oils have a lot of benefits when it comes to cleaning. I love using essential oils when making homemade cleaners. I have quite a collection at this point so I can create all kinds of fun scent combinations.
