Guide to Simple Home Deodorizers...carpet deodorizer .


For those of us with sensitive olfactory glands, living in a pleasantly scented home or at least a home with no unpleasant scents can become a life-long effort using a home deodorizer. Some commercial home deodorizers contain phthalates (the 'ph' is silent). Phthalates, according to a report by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), "are known to interfere with production of the male hormone, testosterone, and have been associated with reproductive abnormalities." The NRDS goes on to say that indoor exposure to phthalate "has also been associated with allergic symptoms and asthma."

There are other options including homemade deodorizers that can be just as effective.

Flowers. Fresh, scented flowers like lilac, lavender or roses can add a pleasant scent to the air. Dry the buds of lilac or lavender to fill sachets packets for sweater or lingerie drawers, or to place in an open, decorative container on a side table in the living room, bathroom or bedroom. Periodically crush some of buds to add a burst of fragrance....carpet deodorizer .

Spices. Pour two cups of water into a pot, add a spice or herb, and boil for one minute before turning the heat down to simmer the pot until the water has almost evaporated. The scent of the cooking spice or herb will be carried on the steam. For a baking aroma without actually baking, try simmering cinnamon, cloves or nutmeg. Liquid extracts, like orange or vanilla, could also be used. Other options include rosemary or dill, which can give a scent of a home-cooked meal....carpet deodorizer .
