Carpet Freshener
1 cup crushed dried herbs (such as rosemary, southernwood, or lavender)
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
Combine all the ingredients in a large jar or other container with a
tight-fitting lid. Shake well to blend. Sprinkle some of the mixture
on your carpet, let it sit for an hour or so, and then vacuum it up.
It will give the room a pleasant smell and neutralize carpet odors.
