Carpet Cleaner
Lemon juice is a natural sanitizer and deodorizer, lemon has the advantage of leaving behind a clean, lemony aroma.
Baking soda is a natural deodorizer as well and a mild abrasive. It has many, many uses in the home. Oven cleaner: Make a paste out of baking soda and water, and apply it to tough, stuck on grime in your oven. Let it sit for ten minutes, then wipe clean.
Here is a Natural Carpet Cleaner that will lift up those dirt particles and sanitize the carpet!

Sprinkle this aromatic mixture on your carpet and let it sit for about 30 minutes to an hour before vacuuming. Allowing all the dirt, debris and bad orders to collect in the mixture!
