Most of the powder carpet freshners have so much perfume in them they trigger a migraine and I can't use them. Not to mention they are pretty pricey for what you actually get. Is plain ole' Arm Hammer baking soda a good alternative? Any other suggestions for freshing carpet?
Plain ole' Arm Hammer baking soda is the best! Sprinkle it on and let it set for at least a couple of hours and overnight would be great. Then vacuum well.....................Good Luck!
Plain Arm and Hammer baking Soda works just fine. Sprinkle let it set a few hrs and vacuum it up (overnight is best if you can wait). I do not use the powdered form of carpet fresheners I use the spray foams. They smell good and do not leave the residue in the carpets and are safe around children and pets. Normally I buy them at walmart or the Family Dollar where they are even cheaper and have off brands.
Baking soda works well as a carpet freshener and you really want to kill odors in the carpet (pets,smoke,etc) just sprinkle with some dry coffee grounds and then vacuum after 20 minutes or so. Another good way to freshen carpets without damage is 1 capful of liquid fabric softener to 3 cups water in a spray bottle. Vacuum first and then mist carpet to freshen!
