I will make this for our shoe cabinet. It really needs some help!
This is so easy! I’m envisioning all sorts of combinations.
Hello, what is the purpose of the epsom salt?
Hi Emily! The Epsom salt gives the oils something to bind to, so that the scent lasts longer!
This is perfect! And such an easy DIY! I’m going to do my carpets today with this!
This is GREAT information! Im getting ready to make my own sachets! I will have one designated for my husbands gym bag. Maybe in everyone’s closet also? YES!
Such an easy way to freshen up small spaces that tend to get musty. Love to put sachets in all of our closets!
Making the sachets today for my sone soccer cleats. Fingers crossed that they work!!
Thanks for the ideas. I will definitely try the carpet powder, the previous renters had a stinky dog the still smells.
This blend is the next oil I have to buy! Love the sachet idea, only I will be using in baseball cleats! Genius!
Love the sachet idea! I bet it would be great for closets and drawers. We have a bunch of sachets, time to put them to use.
So many store-bought cleaning products trigger a migraine for me – even some that claim to be natural. Love this blend and easy recipe – I can have a fresh, clean house and NO headaches!
thank you! Will have to try.
I love using the carpet powder in our home. It works wonderfully!
awesome ideas!!! cant wait to try these
Thanks for wonderful smell good ideas!
Be careful using this blend on granite due to the citrus. I have heard that citrus is not good for granite.
This is the carpet powder recipe I use except I use Odor Zapper and it works wonders. I love how the recipes are broken down so simply for us!
Adding this blend to my wish list now so next time I buy, i can pop it into my basket! Thank you
I presently use Deodorizing Blend to freshen up musty clothes. I will definitely try it t on my carpet!
I am wondering if I can use it in a DIY cleaning spray solution and if so how many drops ?
Magdalena, we have a great All Purpose Cleaner DIY recipe; just substitute the single oils for Deodorizing. Here is the link: https://blog.planttherapy.com/blog/2018/08/16/all-purpose-cleaner-diy/
Excited to give these a try!
This is a great idea for removing harmful chemicals and using bottle we already have as well. EO’s cost a fraction of the money we spend at the market. Spring cleaning here I come!
This blog almost makes me feel excited to tackle spring cleaning… almost….
exciting, i cannot wait to try, i have moved my home over to chemical free for cleaning!
Thanks for the recipes, can’t wait to try them.
Easy and useful sachet project. Maybe I will make some for putting inside the shoes.
Love cleaning with this oil! It makes everything smell fresh and clean. The carpet powder is really great with pet odors.
It can’t get easier then this.
Oooh, I need to try this! Thanks for the simple recipes!
Almost time to start spring cleaning my house… something I never really look forward to. BUT this year I’ll be trying out some of my new oils and I am looking forward to THAT!
I am always up for natural ways to clean. Thank you !
Your carpet cleaner idea is amazing!!
Ooh never thought to make a sachet! Great idea! Going to make a few for closets to help with mustiness.
LOVE the carpet cleaner idea!!
All great ideas! Can’t wait to order this and try some of them!!
Thank you for this post. I had no idea how to use this oil and therefore passed it over many times. It’s now in my wish-list to try.
That’s a great idea. I shall make a sachet with PT oils and put it under my pillows
I’m looking forward to trying this recipe! Deodorizing Blend is on my list to get next!
I’m excited to give this a try! I’m new to EOs so still learning the ins and outs, all of their uses, etc. I had no idea they could be used in DIY cleaning products.
Sounds like an awesome oil!!
I decided to give the deodorizing blend a try… I cleaned my entire kitchen and it smells Amazing !!
I’m excited to try this!! I love using essential oils in cleaning, and haven’t tried the deodorizing blend yet. Going into my cart now!
Looking forward to trying this blend!
I’m SOOO excited to try these DIY’s since we are moving from our rental into our forever home so easy to do & works amazingly
I’ve needed this after tossing 2 pairs of boys shoes that were beyond saving last week due to their potency lol
This is very helpful! Thank you!
You can also add a few drops to the wool dryer balls for any extra stinkly laundry. Use this on my husband’s gym clothes all the time!
Thanks for this blog. It is perfect timing as you stated for starting to Spring Clean and freshen up your home. I have been using the deodorizing synergy in a spray for a while so now this gives me some other ideas for using it as well.
I made the carpet freshner with a different EO but the deoderizing blend is really great in the bathroom and the utility room. Once again, PT does not disappoint!!
I’ve been slowly building my oil collection and this one is high on the list! I think this would be great for the car, too!!
I haven’t tried this oil yet, but I might need to now!
Definitely need for my kids stinky boots!
I made the carpet powder and shoe sachet with on hand oils. Both have been great to refresh the areas used in. Especially live the carpet powder. Thanks!
Perfect timing!
How did I not know of this blend?!?! Must have for my son’s room 🙂
Perfect timing for my spring cleaning deep clean!
Right? I think I need to buy this one!
I am totally adding this to my ever-growing list of wants!!!
Yessssss….this is the best during football season or even hockey season with the stinky equipment.
I love using deodorizing blend in my younger boys bathroom, even with frequent cleaning it still smells like a boys bathroom & deodorizing blend keeps that smell away
Yes! I have been looking for a cleaner way to clean/deodorize my carpets! Putting on my wishlist for my next order.
Our pantry tends to get stinky due to onions. If you have a closed-door pantry, you probably know what I mean! I mixed some Epsom salts and baking soda in a mason jar, added a few drops of Deodorizing, and then topped it with a fabric square and a canning band. Every few days, I give the jar a shake. It’s been going strong for several months now!
Thank you for this! My house could use some strategically placed sachets!
I can’t wait for mine to be delivered! This carpet cleaning recipe sounds amazing!
This almost makes me look forward to spring cleaning. I’ve been meaning to try the carpet cleaning powder but have yet to buy Deodorizing. I’m off to add it to my cart.
Omg! I need more of this oil! We are all getting over sickness and its time for a full house cleaning!!! Living the carpet deidorizer idea! So much better for you then the junk you buy in stores with random chemicals added in.
I was just thinking this morning I need a satchet for my closet where my shoes hang! AND I have all of the ingredients for this! Thank you!
Great idea!!! I need this like yesterday.
What a perfect way to get rid of the winter cooped up blues to get into the mood for spring cleaning. Thinking Deodorizing Synergy will have to in my collection. Thank you for the great tip and post.
