Hi Doreen. I'm Cindy. This is a great recipe for carpet cleaning:
2 cups Baking Soda
A half cup corn starch
A half cup Corn Meal
1 Tbsp Borax
1 teasp Cinnamon
2 or 3 dry Bay Leaves
Put all ingredients in food processor until it is a fine powder. Store this in a jar with lid. Sprinkle on carpet and spread further with a broom. Let it set overnight and then vacuum. The scent from the cinnamon and bay leaves is heavenly.

Do not use on a wet carpet.
I use vinegar in my steamer. The scent fades rather quickly.
For a freshener, I sprinkle baking soda and vacuum up 30 minutes later. I prefer "clean" to scented.
