All you need to make vacuuming powder is baking soda and essential oil.
Vacuuming powder—instructions:
- Mix all ingredients well in a bowl and pour into the shaker. Make a label by printing or writing by hand, and glue it onto the side of the shaker.
- Sprinkle the powder on carpets and upholstered furniture, let it sit for 10–30 minutes, then vacuum it up. If odors persist, brush the powder into the carpet or textile and let it work overnight before vacuuming.
