Homemade Rug Freshener

Boxes of borax and baking soda.Using 1/2 cup of borax, half cup of baking soda, and 20 to 25 drops of essential oil or ground spice cinnamon is good. Mix all together and put into an old container that has holes for sprinkling, like a mozzarella container. Sprinkle on rug, leave for 20 minutes and vacuum.

Borax is a poison, so I would not use this on my floor if I had pets or small children who might be playing on the rug. I assume the vacuum would get most of it, but still, not something that I would do. Just because something is common household product does not mean it is harmless.
