Homemade Odor Eliminator

Author: Sara

Materials

  • 2 cups Hydrogen peroxide
  • 2 teaspoon Baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon Dishwashing liquid

Instructions

  • Fill your bottle with the hydrogen peroxide. Add the baking soda and the dish soap.
  • Just kind of swish the spray bottle around (don't shake it). If you're not using a spray bottle, then gently stir the solution in a mixing bowl or container.
  • If you're dealing with furniture or upholstery, the spray bottle may be the best solution. If you're dealing with carpet or rugs, go for mixing the solution in a bowl and then soaking the affected area with the solution.

Notes

  1. Ventilation is Key: When using hydrogen peroxide-based solutions, ensure proper ventilation in the area. Hydrogen peroxide can release oxygen gas, so avoid enclosed spaces to prevent the buildup of gas.
  2. Spot Testing: Before applying the homemade odor eliminator to large areas, conduct a spot test on a small, inconspicuous area to ensure it doesn't cause any discoloration or damage to the surface.
  3. Patience with Stains: For tougher stains or odors, allow the solution to sit on the affected area for a few minutes before blotting or rinsing. This gives the ingredients time to penetrate and break down the odor-causing molecules effectively.
