Add Essential Oils: To give your cleaner a pleasant fragrance, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil (like lavender or lemon) to the mixture.
For Carpet Stains: Instead of using a spray bottle, mix the solution in a shallow dish and apply directly to carpet stains using a cloth or sponge. Let it sit for 10 minutes before blotting it up with a clean towel.
Heavy-Duty Version: If you're dealing with tough grease or grime, increase the amount of baking soda to make a thicker paste. Apply this paste directly to greasy surfaces and scrub with a brush.
