All Natural Basic Deodorizer

by

Oh, there are so many places in my stinky home that need deodorizing!  But neither Morgan nor I can stand those perfume smelling sprays and chemically things.  Plus, they’re super expensive and a total waste of money.

I think I’d rather just sit in the stink and be a Stinky-McStinker.

But thank goodness, I don’t have to do that.  Not with this amazing All Natural Basic Deodorizer.

Stop buying those expensive deodorizers and make your own for a fraction of the cost! And you can put it in a cute mason jar with a chalkboard label... BONUS!

This is beyond simple.  You’ll kick yourself when you see how it’s made.

What you need:

Yup. That’s it.

How to Make this All Natural Basic Deodorizer

Simply measure out your baking soda into a bowl and add your essential oils.

Stir to combine making sure you don’t have any clumps of oil.  Just crush around with your spoon as you stir it up.

Then spoon it into a giant Ball Mason Jar.  I got mine at Michaels for about $5 using my coupon.

That’s it!  I’ll be using this All Natural Basic Deodorizer in a few upcoming posts, so be sure to come back and see what’s going on.

What the BOLD ones say:

  3. IT’s been a while, but finally got here. Over 70 yrs old and learning much about homemaking (finally!).

  4. if you buy Parmesan cheese that is dry and you shake it. Keep the cover. It fits on a small mouth canning jar.

  5. Yeah !This works. Using a empty parmesan cheese shaker is a great idea.I have violet essential oil .The carpet smells so nice now.

    • I’m so glad to hear that, Meridel! I bet the violet is amazing!

  7. Awesome. And baking soda is great for also making a paste to get hair spray build up out all u do is mix your shampoo with baking soda put it in your hair for 5 to10 minutes. And then shampoo out ..love it so many things to use around the house ….thank you. .Janet

    • I have never heard that, Janet. I’ll have to give it a try!

      Thanks so much for the tip and for leaving such a sweet comment. Have a great weekend!

  8. This wouldn’t take any of the color out of the carpet, right?

    • It’s been fine with my light carpet, Claire, but I recommend testing in a hidden area to make sure!

  9. So are you sprinkling on the carpet and then vacuuming it up – or sprinkle and leave? (I apologize in advance is this is a insane question).

    • Hi Carol! I leave it for up to 24 hours and then vacuum. This allows the baking soda to deodorize. If you just want a quick freshen, you can just leave it for a couple of hours and then vacuum.

      Hope that helps!

  10. i’m new to this….do i put the baking soda concoction in my shoes for awhile, and then dump the powder out into the garbage?

  11. This is what I’ve been waiting for! Now I just have too find a place close too buy essential oils from! Plus I know a few super busy folks that would love something like this. A small mason jar filled and some custom pouches too match their home decor, a cute gift bag, makes the perfect gift too them!

    • I found a bunch of very economically priced essential oils on Amazon. I have Amazon Prime, ordered mine on a Saturday afternoon, & by Monday morning they were here! Make sure to check on the essential oil description about the amount of fluid ounces. My first order I paid as much for 1oz as I did for 4ozs in my second order. They have really good Peppermint, grapefruit, tangerine, & lime.

  12. I love this idea. Instead of making a bag, I used some extra socks. Worked great! Thanks!

  13. Okay I am a newbie to this essential oil ….the bandwagon left and I’m running behind….help me out any suggestions on favorite places to order…thankyou

  14. what do you put this in to use as a room deodorizer? Jars or some type of bag or pouch?

    • I have a DIY pouch that I made but you could put it in a bowl, I’d think!

  15. I add Chamomile and Lavender together , both of which are relaxing, in hopes that those coming to see our home at Open House will be RELAXED enough to stay a while. Unfortunately it has not helped (yet) but it sure does smell good, and mellow out the dog and hubby too LOL
