    1/2 cup (250g)

Good to know

How to use it
  1. Vacuum first to remove any mess from the carpet or rug.
  2. Sprinkle your mix lightly, applying a thin, even layer over the surface.
  3. Gently brush the powder into the fibres using a soft broom or brush.
  4. Allow it to sit for 15–60 minutes to absorb odours and oils.
  5. Vacuum again, slowly and thoroughly, until all the powder has been removed.
Why this works

Bicarb soda (sodium bicarbonate)
A mild alkali that neutralises acidic odour molecules trapped in carpet fibres, rather than masking them with fragrance.
