1 cup Borax
1 cup baking soda
If you want, essential oils, or I like to use cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves

An old parmesan cheese type of shaker works awesome to store it in!

I love that carpet powder stuff, but you know me...I'm cheap. And the store bought kind stinks to me. Seriously, I don't know and fields that smell like their "Meadow Fresh" and I be damned it that is what a waterfall smells like! Lol!

I don't have any pets, but this probably would be great for those of you with furbabies!

You can use Borax for tons of things! But this is a good way to use it up. Just don't let the pups around it. There is some debate on its toxicity.

That is a great idea! I've been researching other "make at home" products as well...

I pretty much make all of my cleaning products. Or just use Borax. I started making lotion bars and body scrubs too.
