Revitalize Your Rugs: A DIY Lavender Herbal Cleaner Powder for a Fresh, Inviting Home

Sometimes, your rugs just need a little extra love. I'm the type of person who vacuums regularly, but twice a month, I give my rugs a refresh with something simple and all-natural—no harsh chemicals or artificial fragrances.

I sprinkle this natural herbal powder on my rugs—a pre-vacuum treatment that does more than just clean; it transforms the vibe of my entire home.

I used to think it was merely about keeping things clean, but I soon discovered it was about how it made my whole home feel.

Curious to try it for yourself?

Try it out and let nature do the rest!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups baking soda

  • 1 cup dried lavender buds

  • Up to 60 drops lavender essential oil

Instructions:

  1. Mix the Ingredients:
    In a large bowl, combine the baking soda and dried lavender buds. Slowly add the lavender essential oil, stirring thoroughly to ensure even distribution.

  2. Application:
    Sprinkle the powder evenly over your rug before vacuuming.

  3. Rest & Absorb:
    Allow the mixture to sit on the rug for at least 15–30 minutes to absorb odors and refresh the fibers. I sometimes leave it overnight in some areas of my house.

  4. Clean Up + Breathe In:
    Vacuum your rug as usual, enjoying the fresh, revitalized scent that transforms your space.

How It Works:

  • Baking Soda acts as a gentle cleanser by loosening dirt and neutralizing odors.

  • Dried Lavender Buds provide a natural, soothing fragrance that elevates the atmosphere.

  • Lavender Essential Oil offers antimicrobial benefits, helping to disinfect the area and keep airborne germs at bay.
