This week's cheap trick is brought to you by my sister. In 2009, my sister and her husband bought two chocolate lab puppies. About 7 days later they found out she was pregnant. So, yeah...now she has a 10 month old son and 2 chocolate lab Clydesdales dogs that she is charged with keeping clean and tidy.
With our crappy weather of late, the dogs have had to stay in the house a lot more. Wet dogs = awesome carpet smell. Amy sprinkles baking soda on her carpet before she leaves the house to run errands. When she gets home, she vacuums it up and voila - a way to deodorize your house that is safe for kids and dogs and doesn't cost more than a few pennies.
I think adding a few drops of essential oils to the baking soda before sprinkling it would add another layer of awesomeness.Labels: Cheap trick
