Question from Reenie
I do green cleaning and also give workshops on it. I got a call today from a former colleague. She has spilled Clinique perfume onto her bedroom carpet and the odor is so powerful that she can’t be in the room. She’s asking for a solution. She’s already tried water and baking soda.
I wonder if there’s some sort of powerful charcol granules to put down, or even if a certain brand of kitty litter might help, along with covering the area where the spilled happened with a thick canvas cloth. Or, what if I rented the Rug Doctor and used mostly vinegar and water (would I dare add a couple drops of lemongrass essential oil?)
This is a new cleanup matter for me. My friend is saying that’s the last time she uses synthetic perfumes! Thanks for any comments or suggestions.
