Sure, using carpet powder seems simple. But if you're not getting the long-lasting freshness you expected, there might be a few things you're overlooking. Here's how to get it right—and get your space smelling amazing.
1. Not shaking the bottle first
Natural ingredients settle. Always give the bottle a good shake to break up clumps and prep the powder for a smooth sprinkle.
2. Not giving it time to work
This isn’t an instant fix—let the powder sit for 5–10 minutes or longer so it can absorb odors properly and release the full scent.
3. Only using it on carpets
Carpet powder isn’t just for carpets. Try it on upholstery, in your car, on your couch cushions—even in closets. Just test a small area first.
4. Rushing the vacuuming
Vacuum slowly to pull the powder deep out of the fibers, along with the odors it captured.
5. Storing it in the wrong place
Keep your bottle tightly sealed in a dry spot. Humidity can cause clumping.
Whether it’s for your entryway rug or the back seat of your car, one sprinkle can go a long way. Use it right—and love every breath you take.
