With 3 kids and a dog our carpets are put through the ringer between shoes, muddy paws and baby spit up its tough to keep our rugs looking and smelling clean! It’s because of the 3 kids and dog that I am super conscious of the products I use. Since one of the littles is going to be starting to crawl soon I started looking at the carpet refresher I was using – chemical filled! I tossed that bottle right in the garbage and whipped up my own using some essential oils!

: DIY Carpet Refresher :

1c Baking Soda
15 Drops of Thieves Oil
15 Drops of Purification
– store in glass container and sprinkle on carpet as needed-

The reasons I chose to use Thieves and Purification is because of the many benefits these 2 oils have, here are just a few.
Thieves – helps support a healthy immune system and helps purify air
Purification – purifies air & deodorizes

I use this recipe for the rugs in the playroom, living room and hallway, for the bedrooms I use a mix of calming oils that promote a restful sleep.

So many great oils come in the Starter Kit including Thieves and Purification, the possibilities are endless!
