Baking Soda Myth

I never put anything on my carpets.

My late mother used to sprinkle moth crystals, (not balls) on the floors and later vacuum them up. I'd never do that now with a cat in the house.
I've put those scented cork pellets on the floor, though. They are 3safe for bothe the floor and the cleaner.
Baking soda is great for cooking, keeping the refrigerator fresh, brushing your teeth, and polishing stainless steel.
Carpet Fresh, Love My Carpet, etc is awful, as are any scented beads, in or out of water. THat is only MY opinion. None of that stuff goes on my carpets. THey are Chinese...some are Karastan..100% wool.
 
To help the aroma in the room,

consider putting a cinnamon stick, or a few whole cloves, or a cotton ball (dabbed w/ scent ie: vanilla )IN the bag.While you're vacuuming, the room will smell very nice.With this time of year, I know people who vacuum up pine needles (if you have a live tree, problem solved).
 
Polishing stainless steel? I use toothpaste - best thing for removing tarnish and quickly. Also toothpaste is brilliant for getting rid of minor scratches on glass and CD discs.

I also use basic men's unscented (and cheaply priced) shaving foam for carpet spot stains.
 
I have used the Gain scent boosters in my rainbow for extra fresh scent. I just put maybe 10 little beads in and have them dissolve. It really smells fresh as you vacuum.
 
The Gain scents haven't damaged your water bin? Rainbow states in their warranties that they are voided if the bin is damaged by other scents not their own.That is why I didn't want to try that in my Rainbows.
